Zur Höh Stadtsteinach
Bauernhof/ Ferienhof
Kinderfreundlicher Bauernhof im wildromantischen Steinachtal
Wunderbare Ausblicke, viel Platz zum Toben und Tiere erwarten Sie auf dem Ferienhof Zur Höh. Seit 1992 heißen wir, Otto und Waltraud Sesselmann, Gäste auf unserem ruhig gelegenen Hof willkommen. Hier erleben Sie das familiäre Miteinander von drei Generationen und einen Milchviehbetrieb, der auf einer fast 300 Jahre alten Geschichte fußt und den Sprung in die moderne Landwirtschaft gewagt hat.
Location & Size
The holiday farm "Zur Höh" is located on a small, sunny hill on the outskirts of Schwand. The village of only 35 houses, which belongs to Stadtsteinach in the district of Kulmbach, is far away from the traffic in the middle of nature. The well-kept, well-equipped holiday flat in the attic of our multi-generation house offers plenty of space for four people.
Discover the legendary Steinachklamm gorge in the nearby landscape conservation area "Steinachtal mit Nebentälern" - a natural monument that is one of Bavaria's 100 most important geotopes and whose mighty stone walls are said to have been created by a hammer blow of the thunder god Thor. Here, in the "Green Crown of Bavaria" between Kulmbach, Kronach and Hof, you can enjoy nature-based relaxation that is anything but boring!
Farm experiences
On our fully managed dairy farm with 70 cows and young cattle you can experience high-tech in agriculture: In the barn a milking robot takes over the milking, the mucking out is done automatically every three hours with a pusher. We will be happy to explain to you in detail during a tour of the farm what advantages the computer-controlled cowshed has both for the animals and for us farmers. What we still do by hand on our farm as in the past: for example, letting the calves drink from the milk bucket. If you like, you are welcome to help us! We are also looking for help in caring for our rabbits, which, like our big and small mousers, are happy to be stroked. What else awaits you on our family-friendly farm:
plenty of space to play and run
trampoline, swing, slide, table tennis table
Lawn for sunbathing and barbecue area
Highlights in the surroundings
Directly from the holiday farm, you can start a scenic hike around the Forkelknock, where fantastic views await you: of the heights of the Franconian Forest, the mountains of the Fichtelgebirge and the landscape around the Obermain. In the west, you can see Kronach, which is characterised by its medieval romanticism: Only 20 minutes away by car, visit one of Germany's largest and most beautiful fortresses on the Rosenberg or plunge into adventure on the summer and winter toboggan run. Just as close is the secret capital of beer: Kulmbach is one of Bavaria's 100 places of pleasure, but also has a lot to offer culturally - in addition to the brewery, bakery and spice museum, the pewter figure exhibition at Plassenburg Castle is also worth seeing!
