So close to the stars...

Living in a monument & guided tours in our garden observatory

Our half-timbered farm is located in the northern Eifel, in the German-Belgian nature park Hohes Venn - Eifel.
The holiday flat is located in Lückerath, a small, idyllic village which belongs to the town of Mechernich in the south of North Rhine-Westphalia. It lies in the area of the Eifel National Park. The small village with 300 inhabitants has numerous beautifully preserved half-timbered houses. There are many hiking and cycling trails here, as well as many sights in the immediate vicinity.

Shopping facilities approx. 4 km, restaurants approx. 2 km - 5 km

You live here in the former ‘corner shop’ in a separate building of a listed farm complex, the oldest building dates from around 1640. Both half-timbered houses have been expertly restored by us over the last three years with great attention to detail and using only natural building materials such as wood and clay. If you are looking for peace and relaxation, this is the right place for you. In the 1000 square metre garden there are specially designed areas for our guests with plenty of space and a view of the greenery.
The flat offers a modern fitted kitchen with an open view into the living and dining area, a small bathroom with shower and WC. It has 2 bedrooms with two double beds (180 x 200 cm), the smaller of which is located in a cosy room under the roof. The holiday flat is equipped with television and WLAN.

Our special highlight:
Sky observation
in our garden observatory

Even as a child in the early 1960s, I, Rainer Kuhl, was fascinated by the starry sky. I explored the universe with my first telescope from Foto Quelle. This fascination never left me and fifty years later I have reawakened this passion. I was always drawn to areas with dark nights. And so, over time, the idea of looking for a suitable house in an area with little light developed. After a few years, our dream came true and we have now found our place in the Eifel Star Park. In 2021 I completed the training to become a certified SternenGuide SternenLandschaft Eifel. In my self-built garden observatory I would like to bring you closer to the starry sky! You are also welcome to bring your own instruments, appropriate places are available.
