Retreat with Forest Views

This inviting holiday home in Zella-Mehlis offers a peaceful retreat on the edge of the Thuringian Forest, away from the crowds yet close to nature and culture. Recently renovated and thoughtfully furnished, the apartment welcomes couples, families, and friends with its cozy living space, bright interiors, and homely touches. After a day outdoors, gather in the living room or prepare shared meals in the fully equipped kitchen before unwinding in the spacious bathroom with a long soak in the tub. Zella-Mehlis sits at the gateway to the Rennsteig, Germany’s most famous high-altitude hiking trail, making it a wonderful starting point for scenic walks, mountain biking, and winter sports. The town is also celebrated as a hub for Nordic skiing. Beyond outdoor activities, you can visit the Explorata Science Center, explore local museums, or enjoy a film at the cinema. In summer, nearby outdoor pools, playgrounds, and sports facilities provide fun for all ages, while cozy taverns and traditional Thuringian restaurants invite you to try hearty regional flavors. Traveling with pets is especially rewarding here. From forest paths perfect for long walks to open meadows where dogs can run freely, your four-legged companion will feel right at home. Many hiking trails around Zella-Mehlis are dog-friendly, and nearby cafés often welcome pets at their terraces, making it easy to combine relaxation with quality time outdoors.

Denna lägenhet var precis vad vi behövde för vår helgtripp, Utrymmet var välutrustat, och värden var vänlig och hjälpsam, Det ligger nära några underbara vandringsleder, så vi tillbringade mycket tid utomhus, Lite knepigt att hitta först men överlag en fantastisk vistelse
