Fuchshof St. Englmar
Bauernhof/ Ferienhof
Wellness & adventure for young & old in the Bavarian Forest
Morgens den Blick über unsere Weiden und das kleine Dorf schicken, danach mit frischen Semmeln in den Tag starten. Auf dem Fuchshof wird jeder Augenblick zum Glücksmoment. Für Kinder gibt es viel zu entdecken, Erwachsene probieren unser Wellnessangebot. Wir, Hans-Jürgen und Josefa, unsere drei erwachsenen Kinder Monika, Michael und Manuela sowie Oma Edeltraud und Opa Hans freuen uns auf Sie.
Location & Size
The location of the Fuchshof inspires our guests: it is situated at 740 meters above sea level, nestled between forests, meadows and our idyllic little hamlet Rettenbach. The climatic health resort Sankt Englmar is four kilometers away - there you will not only find the "Gasthaus Bayerwald", a good ice cream parlor and shopping facilities, but also a beautiful spa park with a swimming pond. Viechtach is about 15 minutes away, Deggendorf 25 minutes, Straubing can be reached in about half an hour and the Großer Arber near the Czech border in 50 minutes.
We "foxes" have been on the farm since 1665 - we have been welcoming guests since 1993, when the senior farmer Hans and his wife Edeltraud inaugurated a building newly constructed for this purpose. All six vacation apartments are on the second floor, they are spacious with partly two bedrooms and we have finely furnished them in country style, because we think that suits us and our surroundings best. The sofas are comfortable and the kitchens are equipped as if we would cook in them ourselves. The day starts with fresh rolls from the local bakery - or, if you like, a really good breakfast in our lounge.
The most beautiful view, however, you can enjoy from your own balcony in the direction of the sunrise, the village church or the forest. On particularly clear days, you can see as far as the Alps from us and our own local mountains, the Pröller, the Hirschenstein, the Predigtstuhl and the Knogl are almost on our doorstep.
Farm experiences
We are an ecologically managed farm with suckler cows kept on a full-time basis. What makes our guests particularly happy: they can experience first-hand how our 12 cows and their offspring are allowed to be together in a species-appropriate manner. We are grateful to be able to live here in the Bavarian Forest, where nature is still intact - and in this way we give a piece back. Our own farm spring supplies us with fresh, good-tasting water, we heat with wood chips from our forest and thanks to our own hydroelectric power plant and photovoltaic system we can even feed our energy into the grid.
Besides the cows, we have about 20 chickens that provide us and our guests with eggs, rabbits, guinea pigs, a goat, two sheep and our cats Tiger, Beni, Feddy and Cleo.
Of course, we have a campfire site and regularly, when his time permits, farmer Hans-Jürgen stokes up the homemade pizza oven: an opportunity that no guest will miss.
Families are happy about the large area, everyone arranges the day according to their own liking. Our children's playground is varied - and especially popular with the kids is our unique water playground with pump. What else is there with us:
- swing, slide, playhouse, sandbox and seesaw
- a big trampoline
- ropeway
- recreation room for young and old with billiards, large ball pool, table tennis, darts and table football
- football or volleyball field
- kettcars, pedal cars of all kinds and trailers
Wellness for couples
During the vacation season there is a lot of activity at the Fuchshof. But at the end of October at the latest, and also in early spring, it is tranquil and quiet. Directly from us you can take endless walks, for example towards Sankt Englmar and back through the forest. If you are a little better on foot, you can walk away from the farm to the Hirschenstein or explore the surrounding area by bike. Back at the Fuchshof, our fine wellness program awaits with sauna, heat cabin, solarium, whirlpool, relaxation room and a Kneipp facility. Families or couples are welcome to book it privately for themselves.
We can winter
The Bavarian Forest is famous for its winter landscapes. With snowshoes you can conquer our local mountains, board fans will be thrilled by the "DSV nordic aktiv cross-country skiing center" with a trail network of 74 km in total in Sankt Englmar. Those who prefer alpine skiing will also get their money's worth in Sankt Englmar, the slopes at the Pröller are even right for demanding skiers. Also in winter: the fun starts right in front of our farm, when we level a toboggan run with the tractor and the children race down the slope.
Highlights in the surroundings
Arrive, take a deep breath and enjoy our hilly landscape around the climatic health resort Sankt Englmar: with us, you can start your vacation directly from the farm at any time of the year. In summer, our guests like to cycle to the idyllic bathing pond in the nearby spa park or explore the bicycle network for eBikers or demanding mountain bikers. We definitely recommend a trip to the "Bayerwald Xperium" for young and old. In winter at pre-Christmas time you should not miss a visit to one of the most beautiful Advent markets in Bavaria: then the Wald-Wipfel-Weg in Maibrunn is illuminated with a sea of lights. And best of all: with the "aktivCard" guest card, our guests have more than 130 ways to spend their free time for nothing.
