Gowerlhof Tirschenreuth
Bauernhof/ Ferienhof
Natural paradise "Land of 1000 ponds" near Tirschenreut
Wenn die Kinder morgens nach draußen stürmen, um mit den Tieren den Tag zu begrüßen, während die Eltern unser regionales Frühstück genießen. Wenn der Urlaub direkt am Hof beginnt und selbst die „stade Zeit“ unendliche Möglichkeiten bietet: dann ist Erholung Programm. Wir, Franziska und Christian Schedl, unsere beiden Kinder Sebastian und Julia sowie Oma Elisabeth und Opa Josef freuen uns auf Sie.
Location & Size
The Gowerlhof is idyllically and quietly situated, nestled between meadows and forests, away from any traffic, in an isolated location a good five kilometers southwest of Tirschenreuth in the Upper Palatinate. Our nature spoiled region is especially known as the "Land of 1000 Ponds", the oldest fish farming area ever - a unique cultural landscape, which can be traced back to the Cistercian monastery Waldsassen. We ourselves manage 12 of our own waters, which are distributed around the farm and are therefore alone an Eldorado for anglers.
Hiking and biking trails pass right by us and the Czech border with its vast forests is only a good 20 kilometers away. According to our experience, our guests and especially the children prefer to stay at and around the farm, explore on foot on highly romantic and mystical paths the two "Teufelsküchen", the "Wolfenstein" or the "Burgruine Liebenstein." Tirschenreuth with its Fischhofpark and Fischhof, a farmstead and farmstead from the 13th century, as well as the Stone Bridge, the Waldsassen Monastery and the 10,000-square-meter market square is definitely worth a trip - and it's also a great place to shop and stop for a bite to eat.
Our cottages and apartments we have modern - but at the same time very cozy furnished with lots of wood from our own forest. They are different sizes, have 2 bedrooms and some even two bathrooms, balconies and terraces send the view into the greenery, our vast meadows and the large playground. If you like, we will spoil you with a really good breakfast with eggs from our chickens, homemade jams and regional products in our spacious lounge. By the way, we know about renting: the first vacationers came to our grandma already in 1958 and today their descendants come to us.
Farm experiences
To say it in advance: Families with children, grandma and grandpa, cousins feel especially at home with us. Children can help with the care of our mother cows and their offspring - and experience how the calves drink from their mothers. Our large swimming pond can be crossed or swum through on a raft, our two horses Lisa and Luna, the pony Oscar, the donkey Paula, the rabbits, chickens, goats, sheep and guinea pigs are happy to be petted and fed. We usually offer guided horseback riding 2 times a week - a pleasure that makes children's eyes shine. Oh yes: we also have two lovable dogs: our dachshund Gustl and the Münsterlander Chila. As you can see: we have our hands full and every season brings its own tasks in the rhythm of nature. What else is there with us:
- Playground with slide, swing, climbing wall
- Tricycles, Bobby-Cars and pedal tractors
- Soccer pitch
- Ride with the tractor
- Accompany the farmer to the fish ponds
- Campfire site
- Trampoline
- Common evening with Bavarian delicacies from the wood oven
- Playroom for bad weather and straw bouncy castle
- Foosball and much more...
The quiet time...
During the summer months, especially the school holiday period, we have many children as guests. Friendships are made, adventures are shared, while parents relax in the large garden and by the swimming pond. But especially from October to May, couples looking for peace and quiet, anglers or people with dogs feel especially comfortable with us. Endless walks directly from the farm are then undertaken, for example into the nature reserve Waldnaabtal, a canyon that our guests particularly love. Cyclists also get their money's worth - for example during a tour "On the lying eight." Winter is also charming - especially cross-country skiers can reach the relatively snow-sure cross-country skiing center "Silberhütte" in 20 minutes.
Paradise for fishermen
Pikeperch, carp, tench or eel - on the Gowerlhof there is "Petri Heil" especially in spring and autumn. Our 4 ha Zeitlerweiher is an Eldorado for anglers, for the supply we have set up a fish cellar. Children love to accompany Grandpa Josef when he feeds the fish - or to be there during the "Fish Experience Weeks" in October when the fish are caught.
Highlights in the surroundings
With us, the experience of nature is in the foreground: directly from the farm you can hike in the direction of the Teufelsküchen and via the Rothenburger Weiher, where it is also wonderful to swim in the summer, back to the farm. From the "Himmelsleiter" in the nature conservation project Waldnaabaue you have a sensational view, the Oberpfalzturm in the Steinwald is worth a visit as well as the castle ruin Weißenstein. We are at your side with many ideas.
