We are surrounded by pine and oak forests perfect for leisurely walks, picnic lunches, bbq's, yes we even have a bbq area in the pine forest we very often use, even in winter, with friends from the village. A five minute walk from the house and apartment you will find yourself in open countryside where you can soak up the peace and serenity of the local area.

We have a lake within 40 minutes walking and in spring the air is filled with the chorus of frogs. In the evenings we like to listen to the crickets and watch the fireflys. With almost no light pollution the stars are magnificant, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy nature at its best. The birds and wildlife around us will impress from the multi coloured bee eaters, golden oriole, eagles, buzzards, not forgetting the storks. Then on the unusual side we have the pine martins, brightly coloured lizards to name but a few.
