Tree houses at Lake Sorpe

Colorful treehouses on the shore of Sorpesee

Even from a distance, they shine through the deciduous forest: five colorful wooden houses on stilts, right on the shore of Lake Sorpe in the Sauerland region. Clara, Nils, Michel, Nele and Ylvie are the names of the tree houses on Lake Sorpe and each has its own color. If you know the hidden footpath above the Swedish houses, you will end up in a wooded bay that feels much quieter than the main area of the vacation park. Surrounded by old beech trees with a direct view of the lake, it’s easy to switch off here.

15 steps lead up to the tree houses on Lake Sorpe, which offer around 55 square meters of space for up to five people. The floor plan is the same for all five houses: downstairs you will find a combined living and dining area with kitchenette, bathroom and an 11 square meter viewing terrace with a view of the lake. A wooden staircase takes you to the sleeping floor with a double bed and three single beds. The kitchen is fully equipped, from stove and oven to dishwasher, fridge, coffee machine, toaster and electric grill. Outside, there is a terrace where you can end the evening with a view of the lake. From April to October, you can also use a canoe including life jackets free of charge.

Those of you looking for even more relaxation can book a mobile sauna barrel, which is delivered directly to the tree houses. Two restaurants nearby, Meilenweit and WOOHOO, ensure that you don’t have to cook for yourself if you don’t want to. There is a practical arrangement for families with dogs: Dogs are welcome in the Clara tree house for a small extra charge. The other four houses (Nils, Michel, Nele and Ylvie) are designed to be allergy-friendly and remain pet-free. The Sorpesee vacation park was awarded second place in the Fixed Accommodation category of the Campsite Award 2026.
