Location & size
The road to Ferienbauernhof-Frank leads to Schwarzenbach, which lies between the district town of Tirschenreuth and the button town of Bärnau in the Upper Palatinate Forest. The center of Tirschenreuth with shopping facilities, cafés and restaurants is only a seven-minute drive away. The next largest town, Weiden in der Oberpfalz, offers even more cultural opportunities and can be reached in just under 30 minutes by car. Our vacation farm with a dairy farm and a large garden is nestled in the village. Surrounded by the charm of the Bavarian countryside, you can enjoy the proximity to nature in our two comfortably furnished vacation apartments. With direct access from the balcony/terrace to the garden, you are just a few steps away from the greenery and can even pick juicy pears and apples directly from our old fruit trees in the fall. The garden access is also extremely practical when on vacation with your dog, if you need to go out quickly with your furry friend in the morning or evening. Our apartments are also equipped for children with baby crib, changing mat, high chair and stool. Whether as a couple, with a small child or together with the grandparents: our two vacation apartments can also be rented together, each offering space for two to four people and are therefore also suitable for the whole family. Dogs are welcome guests and can look forward to a welcome treat on arrival. Enjoy time with the whole family. We invite you to feel completely at home!
Farm experiences
At Ferienhof Frank we welcome you with a guided tour of the farm and introduce you to our animal family. Children can play and run around freely in our extensive, lovingly designed farm garden. At the same time, the orchard trees provide plenty of shady spots to relax in. A highlight is our farm's own pond, where anglers can cast their line and four-legged friends can cool off in the water with their families. However, our favorite guests are children, who bring a lot of life to our farm. I, farmer Monika Frank, show everyone how a dairy farm works during the farm tour and the children can make new friends with the animals and christen a calf.
What else makes a vacation with us special:
Carefree play in the garden
Outdoor playground with trampoline and soccer goals
Feeding chickens and collecting fresh eggs from the nest
Christening calves
Cuddling and feeding guinea pigs and rabbits
Clean and groom ponies
Accompany the farmer to the milking in the cowshed
Vehicle fleet with bobby cars and pedal tractors
Swimming in our pond
In bad weather: play area with table football, hammock, library and games
As passionate farmers, we want guests of all ages to remember our authentic farm experience for a long time to come. Transparency is important to us, which is why we are happy to take you into our barn for milking, answer all your questions and share interesting facts about life on a dairy farm. You can buy milk, eggs and honey from our own production and in the morning the baker delivers delicious bread rolls to your door.
We have a close relationship with our animals and we want to enable our guests' children to do the same. As they quickly develop a close friendship with our calves, every child on vacation can sponsor one of the cute animals with the googly eyes. It is especially nice for us to see the children's eyes light up when they return to "their" animal on vacation the following year and visit it in the barn.
Highlights in the surrounding area
The Upper Palatinate tends to fly under the radar when it comes to vacation regions in Bavaria. Yet the region near the Czech border has plenty of exciting things to offer away from mass tourism. Just outside of Tirschenreuth (15 minutes by car), you can explore the charming surroundings around the famous pond pan with numerous large and small lakes in the moorland area via the Himmelsleiter and Heusterzbrücke bridges. Or discover the enchanting Waldnaab valley, for example, where the Waldnaab meanders through the Falkenburg massif, passing untouched forests and bizarre rock formations. Cycling tours, walks, Nordic walking and hikes can be undertaken directly from the farm. If you want to learn something at the same time, you can find out a lot about the forest habitat at 23 stations on the forest adventure trail in Waldsassen. Especially great for children: various adventure stations such as a barefoot trail, forest playground and much more. Fans of old castles and palaces can travel back in time at the Liebenstein castle ruins just five minutes away by car. The well-preserved castle ruins can be accessed via a wooden drawbridge. The excursion can also be wonderfully combined with a hike of just under an hour. Anglers can also cast a line in the Liebenstein reservoir or the Rothenbürger Weiher pond and experience a great catch! Ask us - we know the area like the back of our hand and will be happy to give you more tips for excursions.
