The listed Alte Fährhaus has been around for 360 years and offers families and friends a wonderful retreat in its 2 apartments "Boven" and "Unnern" - just 30 minutes from Hamburg's city limits.
The apartment "Boven" can accommodate up to 19 guests in 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. From the south-facing rooms, you have a beautiful view over the disturbance. Here you can experience the flair of the 17th century under sloping ceilings.

The space
The 228 sqm large holiday apartment "Boven" on the upper floor and DG of the Old Ferry House is characterized by sloping walls, curved ancient beams and small cozy bedrooms. In the attic, we have installed an open kitchen in the open gallery, from which you can enjoy the view of the sun-burned ancient beams to one floor lower and open up living rooms. Next to the kitchen is a large dining and living room from where you can enjoy a beautiful view over the sturgeon.

BEDS AND ROOMS
In total, the apartment "Boven", located on the upper floor and attic, offers 19 guests in space. 5 bedrooms are designed for 2 guests, but there is also a triple and a quadruple room and 2 more guests can be accommodated on the open gallery of the living and dining area.
In 3 rooms we have installed freestanding bathtubs for our guests, 3 more bathrooms are accessible via the hallway. Most beds can be used as double or single beds, depending on your needs. We have all newly installed the bathrooms in the course of the loving restoration of our house 2019.

GARDEN & SAUNA
The approx. 3000 sqm common garden offers children a lot of space and there is also our wooden sauna, which can of course be used. Since we rent out two other properties on the property, we are happy to coordinate the usage times with the groups, so there is no overlap.

If you need even more space, we offer in the apartment "Unners" on the ground floor of the house 8 sleeping places, in the neighboring bakery house a total of 12 sleeping places and in the only 5 minutes walk away Landgasthof Lüders up to 5 more rooms can be rented.

VILLAGE LIFE
In the cute village of Wewelsfleth, there is a local shop within a 10-minute walk, a fruit and vegetable stand, a bakery, the Landgasthof Lüders and a Greek bistro.

SUPS/CANOES/KAYAKS
The property is less than 5 minutes walk from the Störr. On request, we are happy to rent up to 10 stand-up paddle boards, 2 canoes and 4 kayaks. Attention: you have to pay attention to the different currents.

ACTIVITY
The Old Ferry House is located directly opposite the small port of Wewelsfleth. For enjoying nature, the car can stop: you can get up the river on the Deichkrone or the barely traveled small road towards Bothfleth to a 50-hectare bird sanctuary located in a sturgeon loop. Alternatively, you start the shipyard south along the Stör in the direction of the Elbe River, past the bodywork to Krey's dike shop, which is located behind the Elbe dike. From there, take a small road back to Wewelsfleth.

The town of Glückstadt, invented by the Danish King Christian IV on the drawboard, is only 10 minutes away by car and no further it is to Brokdorf, where in summer a heated outdoor swimming pool on the Elbe beach and in winter an ice rink for the pleasure of young and old.

Here in Glückstadt you can rent bicycles during the tourist information office for 7 EUR per day or 30 EUR per week, with which not only the dikes can be explored excellently. Children's bikes can also be rented there.

If you want to get more circles, you can reach the North Sea at Friedrichskoog in 45 minutes, where you can take mudflats hikes and visit the seal rescue station or the huge indoor playground Willi Wal.

In 60-90 minutes you can reach Germany's largest sandbox - Sankt Peter Ording - or the charming towns of Büsum, Husum, Tönning and Friedrichstadt.

The Elbe ferry Glückstadt-Wischhafen is 10 minutes away by car and takes you to the other side of the Elbe, where Stade with its picturesque city backdrop is waiting for you and also a day trip to Cuxhafen is feasible from there.

Other things to note
You will sleep in an 18th century house. It will never be clinically clean and there will be insects in the countryside, like everywhere in nature, that can get lost in the house. Of course, we do our best to make sure you don't notice these things.
