Location & Size
Ferienhof Erzengel is situated in an idyllic secluded location on a hill in the south of the municipality of Berg and offers a wonderful view of the Saale valley and the Ore Mountains. The name of our four-sided farm, which has been in the family for over 200 years, is reminiscent of the former ore mine on the large, park-like grounds. Today, three lovingly furnished holiday flats at 4-star level await you on the well-kept estate, as well as a historic courtyard that provides a touch of Tuscany with its old fountain, tall trees and cosy seating areas. Despite the secluded location, you can reach the district town of Hof or the well-known spa town of Bad Steben, whose thermal baths offer an impressive water world as well as a variety of wellness experiences, in just 15 minutes by car. Especially for active families, there is a lot to experience in the surrounding area - ask us, we will be happy to tell you the most beautiful excursion destinations!
Farm experiences
On our farm, which is certified according to Bioland criteria, we cultivate around 70 hectares of farmland and forest. Besides growing spelt, rye, oats and peas, we also focus on sustainable energy production: With two wood gasifiers we produce electricity and heat for our farm as well as for several households in the neighbouring village of Bruck. Our son Martin will be happy to explain how this works. During a tour of the farm, you and your children will also learn about the differences between organic and conventional farming. We will also introduce you to all the animal inhabitants who will make your holiday a real farm experience!
Horse riding, mucking out the stables, feeding the animals: Actively experience everyday farm life
It's never boring at Ferienhof Erzengel. Our five horses, Liese the farm dog, a huge flock of chickens and a handful of geese, rabbits and cats make sure of that.
If you want, you can join me, farmer Doris, in fetching eggs from the nest or help with the feeding and learn a lot of interesting facts about the preferences of the little farm animals. Our daughter-in-law Bettina is responsible for the horses: She shows how to properly care for the coat, mane and hooves and gives tips so that the children not only feel comfortable but also safe when dealing with horses. She also offers riding lessons. Guided pony rides are available almost every day and are free of charge for our guests! You can also look forward to:
Tractor rides with farmer Rudolf
a large, park-like area with swings, slide, climbing tree, sandpit, football goal and trampoline
a great selection of children's vehicles
cosy hours around the campfire
Sauna & Kneipp: Relax in the middle of nature
Have you ever run through dew-damp grass in the morning? Or walked like a stork through ice-cold water? At our certified Kneipp health farm, we have many more tips that you can use to increase your well-being in a simple way. What we also offer you:
Sauna for 4 people
Water treading pool
Herbs from our garden
Large meadow for dew-running and relaxing
Highlights in the surroundings
Explore wild and romantic valleys (Höllental), immerse yourself in German-German history (Mödlareuth), discover rare animal and plant species (Grünes Band), explore what was once the most modern mine in the region (Friedrich-Wilhelm-Stollen), taste the devil's liquid treasure (Brunnenhäuschchen in Hölle), visit magnificent castles (including Burgk Castle) or take a boat trip across Germany's largest reservoir (Beichlocht). Many attractive excursion destinations in the Franconian Forest and neighbouring Thuringia are only 10 to 30 minutes by car from the Erzengel holiday farm!
Particularly exciting for children is, among other things, the Untreusee lake in the south of Hof, which provides plenty of variety with a large playground, labyrinth, beautiful hiking trails and a pedal boat rental. Hof also has an indoor playground and the Theresienstein city park, which is well worth a visit, with a small animal zoo and botanical garden. Another highlight for our young holiday guests: the rock labyrinth on the Lusienburg in Wunsiedel, which you can reach in just under an hour by car. Equally close are the cities of Bamberg (World Heritage Site), Bayreuth (Wagner Festival), Erfurt (Krämerbrücke) as well as Plauen (the "lace" city), Kulmbach (Plassenburg) and Kronach (Rosenberg Fortress).
