Your short break in NRW: greener than you think
North Rhine-Westphalia is Germany’s most populous state: hardly anywhere else are big cities, motorway junctions and industrial heritage packed so closely together. All the more surprising is how quickly you can find yourself surrounded by green: between the Sauerland, Münsterland, Eifel and Teutoburg Forest lies more untouched nature than many would expect. A short break in NRW rarely means a long journey, but often just a short drive out of your own metropolitan area and into enchanting forests, hidden lakes and gentle hills.
Your Raus getaway in NRW offers a real break from everyday life
Our cabins in NRW are deliberately located away from motorways and industrial estates, surrounded by meadows, forests or the many reservoir lakes. Instead of traffic noise, you’ll hear birdsong; instead of flashing blue lights on the A40, just the crackle of the wood stove in the evening. Your morning starts with coffee on the terrace and a view of the green, your evening ends under a starry sky instead of street lights.
Out of the city, into nature
Whether you live in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Essen or one of the many other cities along the Rhine and Ruhr, almost everyone shares one feeling: traffic jams. NRW has the densest motorway network in Europe, and with more than ten million people in the Rhine-Ruhr area alone, gridlocked ring roads, packed commuter trains and the endless hunt for a parking space are simply part of everyday life for many. Whichever city you want to escape for a few days, you’ll find the right starting point for your break with us.
Dog-friendly getaway in NRW
Your dog will love a change of scenery too. Instead of a quick walk around the block, dense forest trails in the Sauerland, wide field paths in the Münsterland and long lakeside paths at the reservoirs are waiting to be explored together. A short break in NRW with your dog means plenty of space to run, hardly any traffic and lots of new scents to discover.
Cabins with sauna: warmth, peace and relaxation
After an eventful day, there’s hardly anything better than sinking into the soothing warmth of the sauna. At our locations with a sauna, you can leave everyday life behind, find peace and simply have nothing to do for once. Whether after a hike, a walk through the forest or a day at the lake: the warmth feels good and makes your break even more relaxing.
Unwind together: group getaway in NRW
Sometimes it’s simply more fun to get out together and experience something new. In NRW, you and your favourite people can treat yourselves to a little break from everyday life, surrounded by forests, lakes and open countryside. At some of our locations, you’ll find several cabins in one place, giving you the best of both worlds: start the day together in the morning, explore the area during the day and gather around the campfire in the evening. And everyone still has their own retreat whenever some peace and quiet is needed.
Plan your break in NRW now
Whether by a lake in the Sauerland, in the countryside of the Münsterland, in the forests of the Eifel or actively on your bike along the Ruhr: around the big cities on the Rhine and Ruhr lies more nature than you’d expect from densely populated NRW. Whether a spontaneous weekend or a planned break, choose your cabin and start your very own getaway in NRW.
