About this property
Hexenhäusla Vacation Apartment: Peace and Relaxation in the Heart of Franconian Switzerland
The approximately 70-square-meter apartment is located on the upper floors of our building, which was built in 1952 in a purely residential area. It is accessed via a separate entrance at the rear of the building and was completely renovated in 2023/2024. On the lower level, there is a large kitchen-dining area (with a kitchenette including a stove and oven, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, a microwave, a coffee maker, a kettle, and a toaster), a cozy living room (with a satellite TV), with direct access to a small furnished balcony, and a separate restroom. A 70-year-old wooden staircase leads to the attic, which features a bathroom with natural light and a large bedroom with a double bed. Of course, dish towels, hand towels, bath towels, and bed linens are provided. The apartment includes a cozy outdoor seating area in front of the entrance, as well as an insect-friendly, fenced-in garden on a gentle slope where your dog can roam freely. The garden is located at the back of our property... here you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. We have three Rhodesian Ridgebacks who live here; they roam on the other side of the garden, separated by a secure fence, and are generally friendly toward visitors. The apartment is designed for 2 people; a guest bed is available for 1 additional person. Your four-legged friends are welcome to enjoy their vacation with us at no extra charge. Smoking is not permitted in the apartment. Please do not enter the living and sleeping areas with outdoor shoes on. If needed, dog crates (indoor kennels) can be provided for your four-legged friend. In town, you’ll find all the necessary amenities: Edeka, Lidl, Aldi, doctors (general practitioner, dentist, veterinarian), a pharmacy, a home improvement store, various bakeries, and a wide variety of restaurants where you can indulge in culinary delights, as well as small shops where you can go shopping. In and around Gößweinstein, you’ll find a wide range of recreational activities, such as an elevated swimming pool, mini-golf, disc golf, archery, a steam train, golf, bike rentals, rock climbing, a Kneipp facility, tennis, hiking, a summer toboggan run, and the E-Fun Park. boat rentals (canoe trips). You can ask for information about these activities on site. In case of bad weather, you’ll find board games, other games, and books at the Hexenhäusla to pass the time. The town of Markt Gößweinstein lies in the heart of Franconian Switzerland, nestled in a low-mountain landscape where romantic valleys and rugged dolomite cliffs reflect a varied and diverse natural landscape. Lush meadows and fields cultivated according to the season, framed by the various shades of green in the mixed forests—which transform into a symphony of colors in the fall—harmonize perfectly here. Picturesque castles and ruins, found everywhere perched on rocky outcrops, tell the stories of the Franconian landed gentry, just as the numerous mills in the valleys offer a glimpse into how our ancestors harnessed the power of water. Over the centuries, this underground landscape—unique in Germany, with over 1,000 caves—has developed and invites visitors on discovery tours. Guided tours are offered in the most notable caves. The unique Franconian Switzerland–Frankenjura Nature Park, spanning over 2,000 square kilometers, offers this and much more. Gößweinstein in Franconian Switzerland is definitely worth a visit!!!
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table. Change of towels is available on request.
