Vacation on the Water – Optima Houseboat on Lake Wangermeer
Experience a vacation with a difference—on the water! Our stylish houseboats on the idyllic Wangermeer offer a truly special vacation destination for anyone who wants to combine relaxation, nature, and comfort.

The Optima houseboat leaves nothing to be desired:
Look forward to a lovingly furnished floating home with a bedroom featuring a cozy double bed and plenty of storage space thanks to the large built-in closet in the hallway. The open living and dining area with a direct view of the lake invites you to linger. There’s also a comfortable sleeper sofa (sleeping surface: 160 x 200 cm) that can accommodate two additional guests if needed.

The modern, fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for cooking—whether it’s a cozy breakfast or dinner with a view of the lake. The bathroom features high-quality fixtures and includes a spacious shower and a toilet.

For water sports enthusiasts, a SUP (stand-up paddleboard) is available, and direct access to the water allows you to take a refreshing dip in the lake at any time. A special highlight is the large rooftop terrace: Here you can round off a relaxing day with a barbecue—sunset included.

An integrated air conditioning system ensures comfortable temperatures—a real plus, especially on warm summer days.
Four-legged friends are also welcome here—dogs are more than welcome on board! Vacation in Hohenkirchen—Relaxation, Nature, and Plenty of Leisure Fun
The health resort of Hohenkirchen offers everything you need for a thoroughly enjoyable vacation: shopping, two bakeries, a pharmacy, and medical care are all located right in town. Thanks to its central location, you can reach the North Sea in just a few minutes by car or bike. The cities of Jever and Wilhelmshaven are also within easy reach and invite you to take a stroll through town or enjoy cultural excursions.

A special highlight for families is the Nordsee-Spielstadt Wangerland—an approximately 5,000 m² indoor amusement park that’s open rain or shine. Here, children and parents can spend an action-packed day together, enjoying a roller coaster, chain carousel, bumper cars, a climbing area, a ship swing, a sandbox, a toddler play area, and much more. Especially convenient: The admission price includes not only all the rides but also free parking, unlimited fries, ice cream, and hot and cold drinks—ideal for a stress-free family outing in any weather.

Right on your doorstep is also the Wangermeer—an approximately 100-hectare, artificially created recreational lake offering a wide range of activities for nature and water sports enthusiasts. A paved loop trail is perfect for walking, jogging, or biking. For quiet moments by the water, two beaches invite you to sunbathe and swim.

Those who prefer more athletic activities will find plenty to enjoy at the BUHL Activity Park: whether it’s soccer golf, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, wing foiling, wing surfing, or blobbing—action is guaranteed here!

Important for dog owners: Dogs are allowed exclusively on the beach at the BUHL Activity Park.
