A simple, rustic "tent-cabin" (a wooden structure resembling a tent) featuring a double bed and a terrace. The cabin is located in a small, quiet nature campsite, set in a scenic environment with beautiful mountain views.

The cabin/tent is basic—uninsulated, with no heating or electricity—and is intended for summer use only. Candles are provided for lighting. It includes a 140 cm double bed with two duvets and pillows, a table, and an armchair. A small, well-behaved dog is permitted. The tent-cabin is situated at the edge of the campsite, offering a lovely view. To reach the campsite, you must cross the river via a small footbridge.

The campsite does not have showers; however, you can rent a hot tub and sauna for an additional fee—a delightful spa experience. Washing facilities are available inside the sauna.

It offers a true spa atmosphere—combine it with a quick dip in the river right next door... simply wonderful!
