On the day you arrive turn off every electronic device and walk through our 58 hectare large park and enjoy the nature. On the second and third day, after a relaxing night please do not hesitate to speak to one of our guest service agents to get advice for your daily getaways. There are so many that in my opinion you should enjoy the freedom of spontaneity and plan them on the day itself - because we are already too planned and organized in our days at work.”
