a detached former farmhouse with a sunny private garden.

For rent with one to four bedrooms and up to two bathrooms, it is a flexible house, suitable for two, but also for six adults and one or two babies. The large sunny garden offers a lot of privacy and is surrounded by meadows. There will never be other guests in the house when you are staying there, whether you come alone or with a party of six. 
The living quarters are on the 1st floor, on the ground floor there is a second bathroom and a laundry room.
In other parts of the ground floor we have a small office and pantry for our private use. When there are guests, we won't use these spaces, so your privacy is guaranteed.

Vennbahn and Railbike tracks

De Vennbahn tussen Monschau en Sourbrodt
Plenty to do, year-round.

Walking
You can enjoy unlimited walking all year round in the rugged High Fens and in the Eifel, from short tours to challenging day marches.

Cycling
And of course you can cycle the famous Vennbahn cycle path, which runs along the village and leads through a particularly beautiful landscape. With a gradient of no more than 3%, it is a perfect and relaxing way to discover the area. The Vennbahn will also take you close to Monschau.
The area offers plenty of challenges for cyclists with mountain experience and for mountain bike enthousiasts too.
Watersports
There are several reservoirs in the area, where you can swim and practice other water sports.
Wintersports
In winter you can often enjoy winter sports. There are cross-country trails in Kalterherberg and in many of the surrounding villages. At a 15-20 minutes drive you will find an downhill slope and toboggan.

On the ground floor, the ceilings are so low that they no longer meet modern standards. We have a small office and pantry for our private use. When there are guests, we won't use these spaces, so your privacy in the house and the garden is guaranteed.

The High Fens

have an average temperature 5 degrees below that in the rest of Belgium. As a result, there are plants and animals that you will not find elsewhere in the low countries. Therefore, there is more chance to have snow here.
There are several visitor centers in the area, where you will find information and expositions about the special nature of this rugged area. In the house you will also find information about our special area and what to do and discover.

Nature in your garden

In the season (from March until well into autumn), you can enjoy red kites every day, sometimes flying very low in their search for prey. Wonderful to watch, just from the terrace, this largest bird of prey in our area! 

And of course there are also plenty of other birds to enjoy, like the cranes that pass over Kalterherberg twice a year, a spectacular sight! You have a good chance of seeing foxes and roe deer from your window.

In the Eifel everyone seems to have a little more time, most people are not in much of a hurry. It may well happen that you have to wait for a bit at the village supermarket, because the customer in front of has a chat with the cashier. Nobody minds.
