About this property

Cottage / Retreat above the Thuringian Forest

You live in a lovingly restored, about 300 year old village smithy, sunny at about 500 meters above the Thuringian Forest.

Knobelsdorf with its 34 inhabitants is centrally located within a hiking, gliding and cycling area. From here you discover Thuringia from the Hohenwarte Reservoir to the Schwarzatal.

On about 80 m² living space is plenty of space for up to five people. The apartment has a large, comfortable living area, a kitchen, bathroom with shower u. Bathtub.
The living room

There is a parking space for the car, a decent supply of firewood and water & a few supplies in case you are snowing;)
Seriously - it is our house, so it is equipped and you are allowed to feel as welcome and at home as we do.
In the kitchen everything is available what is needed; from utensils to basic ingredients. Our guest room has a beautiful bunk bed (80 x 2.00 m.) And a desk. The bedroom is equipped with a double bed (1.80 x 2.00 m.) And in the bathroom you can relax either in the bath with a view over the valley or in the 1.20 x 1.20 m large shower.
Towels & bed linen are of course included in the price - as well as we, who will help you with words and deeds to make your stay as nice as possible.
Access for guests

You should feel at home! Of course, you have access to all rooms and always remain undisturbed. No one else is in the house except you.

However, the attic and cellar are still not suitable for children and due to their tools - which you do not notice at all in the living area.

And do not worry, no one works it while you recover!

If, contrary to expectations, there is a technical problem, our technician will come to you immediately.
Other important information

To and from Saalfeld a bus leaves several times a day. Parking is available directly at the house, the trails lead practically past the house.

Here there is nature & peace!

Tuesdays comes the bakery car and on Wednesdays the mobile Aunt Emma. The nearest shops (Norma, Rewe, etc.) are right down the hill and of course in the nearby Saalfeld city center.

If something has been forgotten - the bus runs regularly, the stop is diagonally opposite the house, our team is also available to help and advice.

The prices include VAT.

Wohlfühlen garantiert
Wir haben uns auf Anhieb in der gemütlichen, liebevoll hergerichteten Ferienwohnung wohl gefühlt. Herzlich und unaufgeregt wurden wir von Michael empfangen, Sekt und Milch standen kalt, der Kamin war zum Anheizen vorbereitet - traumhaft! Die Ferienwohnung ist großzügig, fast schon luxuriös ausgestattet, uns fehlte es an nichts. Dazu kommt die wunderbar naturnahe Lage in dem kleinen Örtchen Knobelsdorff, welches mit einigen Überraschungen aufwartet. Auch die Geschichte ist hochinteressant, es lohnt sich, danach zu forschen. Als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen oder Ausflüge nach Saalfeld, Rudolstadt, Erfurt ideal. Wir wollen auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Herzlichen Dank an Michael und seine Familie!

Entschleunigen mit Feen, Kobolden und Waldelfen
Wir haben genau das bekommen, was wir uns für den Jahreswechsel gewünscht haben. Ruhe, Entschleunigung, Natur und Gemeinsamzeit. Ein ur-gemütliches, kuscheliges Häuschen mit Balken, rustikalen Türen und einem knisternden Kaminofen. Top ausgestattet in absolut ruhiger Lage. Es fehlte uns an nichts, denn es ist alles, was man braucht, vorhanden. Sei es die Küchenausstattung oder das Bad mit Wanne und Dusche. Auch für unseren 2,5 Jährigen stand alles Notwendige zur Verfügung. Auch Ausflugsziele gibt es jede Menge - ob direkt vom Haus aus zu Fuß in die Natur den angrenzenden Wanderweg zum Baba Jaga Haus oder mit dem Auto zu den Hotspots wie den Feengrotten in Saalfeld (mit dem Walderlebnispfad), dem Stausee Hohenfelden, dem Meeresaquarium in Zella-Mehlis oder dem Spielzeugmuseum in Sonneberg. Auch Gastgeber Micha ist super freundlich, hilfsbereit und steht mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Es hat von A bis Z alles gepasst und ein paar andere Ecken rund um Knobelsdorf haben uns auch schon neugierig gemacht. Doch schwupps war unser Urlaub schon wieder vorbei. Gern auf ein Neues. Vielen lieben Dank für den tollen Jahreswechsel, beste Wünsche für 2024 und bis bald sagen wir 3 Weifaer Wichtel Enrico, Denise und Mats

Ruhiger Urlaub in der Natur
Wir hatten einen sehr erholsamen Aufenthalt in der Fewo. Diese war vollständig eingerichtet. Der Empang durch den Vermieter war sehr freundlich. Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in der Umgebung waren zahlreich vorhanden ( Tipp: Burg Greifenstein mit Vogelflugschau ) Resumee: Schöner und ruhiger Urlaub in einer guten Fewo.
