Pfefferhof Rinchnach
Bauernhof/ Ferienhof
Children's paradise Pfefferhof! Fully managed organic farm
Herzlich willkommen auf dem Pfefferhof. Wir sind ein biologisch wirtschaftender Bauernhof, umgeben von Wiesen und Wäldern. Unser Hauptaugenmerk gilt den Kindern und dem Miteinander - sie dürfen mithelfen, unsere Spielscheune erobern oder eine Reitstunde genießen. Wir, Monika und Michael, unsere vier Kinder Theresa, Johannes, Veronika und Lorenz sowie Oma Anna und Opa Mich freuen uns auf Sie.
Location & Size
Our farm is quietly and peacefully situated near Rinchnach in the Bavarian Forest, eight kilometres south-east of Regen. Deggendorf in the beautiful Danube valley is about 30 minutes away, Frauenau 20 minutes and you can reach the Bavarian Forest National Park in twenty minutes. Hiking in summer, enjoying winter on skis - all options are open from our farm. Children are happy about the endless possibilities at the farm, that they are allowed to move freely without danger, adults love the clear starry sky, which is indeed something very special at our farm.
The first thing that strikes you about our farm is its very special layout: it consists of two connected four-sided courtyards. The oldest building, the former barn, dates back to 1805, and our family has been farming the Pfefferhof for more than 200 years. In 1998, we finally bought the adjacent farm - and thus created the possibility for additional holiday flats as well as our own indoor riding arena for our Haflingers.
As early as the 1970s, Ana and Mich rented out rooms to summer visitors - a tradition that we have built on with great enthusiasm. Our holiday flats are cosy - at the same time sustainably furnished with solid wood furniture from the carpenter and many a smart antique. Our guiding principle is: "Preserve the old authentically!": for this reason, each of our flats is individual and unique. Some have a balcony from which you can look south over the pastures into the farming village, others look out over our mountains in the Bavarian Forest. And our "Primel" flat even spoils guests with its own tiled stove.
Farm experiences
We are a full-time organic farm, and we treat our 20 cows and their offspring with respect and a large portion of love. For this reason, our cows naturally wear their horns. In 2014, we built a new, so-called "playpen" where they can move freely. From May to November, the ladies enjoy the pasture and one of the greatest joys of our own as well as the holiday children is driving them in and out of the barn every day. The holiday children love working on the farm. Usually they love it so much that they don't want to leave, because there is so much to experience and discover from morning to night. Besides the cows, we have chickens for the daily breakfast egg, cats, our farm dog Lumpi and the goat Häberl. Our rabbit hotel invites you to pet it, and the pigeon house with its peacocks arouses the interest of children and adults alike. What else do we have to offer?
a huge play barn on 2 levels with table football, table tennis, Punch and Judy show, school board, wooden horses and a tyre swing
lots of pedal cars, trailers, bobby cars and a big kettcar
our legendary bowling alley
a wood workshop
a cosy recreation room with a tiled stove
campfire, pizza baking, night walks
On the back of the horses
Horses belong to the Pfefferhof like the salt in the soup. Our grandfather Mich started breeding horses more than 30 years ago. In the meantime we have about 10 Haflingers as well as our two lovely ponies Sissi and Lena. Our professional riding instructor Bärbel gives lessons for children from the age of 7 from Monday to Friday - and our daughter Theresa takes care of pony riding for the little ones by arrangement. Experienced riders can go out into the beautiful countryside with Bärbel.
Winter Wonder Bavarian Forest
Do you like winter? When it's cold, the snow crunches and at night the stars seem close enough to touch? Children whiz down the hills on our sleds, cross-country skiers hit the trails in Rindnach, skiers choose between the ski areas of Geisskopf, Bodenmais or the Arber, which are a good ten or just under 30 km (Arber) away. They are all particularly suitable for families with children because they are not only manageable and inexpensive, but also score points with their personal ski schools.
Highlights in the surrounding area
With us, your holiday starts right in front of the farm. You can take long walks, for example to the Weißenstein castle ruins. You will be rewarded with a panoramic view of the mountains and valleys of the Bavarian Forest. We gladly recommend an excursion to the "Haus zur Wildnis" near Ludwigsthal or to the "Niederbayerisches Landwirtschaftsmuseum Regen". Hikers get their money's worth as well as cyclists in and around the National Park, the river hiking trail from Bayerisch Eisenstein to Regen can also be explored in small stages and is well worth it.
