A warm welcome to Hof Eckhorst, where you’ll find our comfortable vacation apartments in the countryside. Here, at the narrowest point between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, between Schleswig and Eckernförde, between the Schlei and the Hüttener Berge Nature Park. Country charm, country life, country delights, country children, country landmarks, and beloved countryside show just how beautiful life in the countryside can be. You’ll meet other guests in our barn hall or the fragrant wellness area with a sauna and a dream bath for two. Enjoy the summer by the lake or find peace and relaxation on the “dreamer’s bench” under the oak tree. You’ll hear the rustling of the leaves, smell the plants, and watch a contented herd of mares. We look forward to welcoming you! The Holstein Apartment: The Holstein Apartment is perfect for singles or two people in love. The dreamy living-bedroom is predominantly white. A small writing desk and a dining table for two are essential. You can store your clothes in a walk-in closet. The bright bathroom with a shower offers plenty of space. In the entryway, you’ll find the small kitchen. For special meals, we’d be happy to provide you with a fondue set, a raclette, or a wok. Vacation with your own horse, riding lessons: Would you like to bring your own horse, or ride one of ours? Whether it’s riding lessons or a trail ride through the beautiful countryside, you’re very welcome here! Our equestrian facility offers: An indoor arena (20 x 60 m), a jumping course (50 x 80 m), an outdoor dressage arena (20 x 60 m), 2 lunging circles, a fenced-in gallop track, small cross-country jumps, and a water crossing. We host training courses and regular events.
Our horse breeding program: At Hof Eckhorst, we love Hanoverian horses. Our year revolves around the horses. In the spring, the pregnant mares foal in the stables, while others are bred by the stallions through natural mating or artificial insemination. The grazing season begins in May, and both the foals and the broodmares spend day and night in their pastures. This is also when our competition season begins. The horses that have been broken in over the winter are presented for the first time at events and competitions. This continues through September. Then the horses return to the stables. You’re welcome to experience this with us. We look forward to seeing you!
Programs and Tips: An information folder designed by us is available in every apartment. Here you’ll find important information about nearby attractions, special events, and tips. Every Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the sauna area is free of charge. We offer massages, medical foot care, nail care, and osteopathic treatments provided by certified specialists right here on-site.
