Sleeping in the gable house The oasis of peace in the center of the Emmental can be found a few hundred meters from the Emmenmatt Train Station, directly on the Emme. The Giebelhaus am Emmenhof is looking forward to adventurous guests and is particularly suitable for one to two adults and one to two children or teenagers. Gable-fronted house Discover the two original rooms. They have the standard of a youth hostel. One room is equipped with two single beds and a sofa, it serves as both a living room and a bedroom. The other room has a kitchenette and two sleeping places on the gable floor, which can be reached via a steep staircase, they are especially suitable for older children and teenagers. In addition, the kitchenette is connected to the wet room via an equally steep internal staircase. The shower and toilet can also be easily reached via a covered external staircase. Ämmehof The gabled house was built in 1949 as an annex to the adjacent residential building at the Emmenhof. The Ämmehof has been able to retain the charm and character of that time and today presents itself as an inviting place of peace and cosiness. The Ämmehof invites you to linger in the garden, by the fire bowl, in the partial shade on the Emme or in the evening sun. And the children are frolicking on the giant swing (about 5 m high). The guests at the Ämmehof enjoy the Grander water and the low-radiation environment. Walk Enjoy the soothing splashing and rustling of the Emme, which is directly adjacent to the Ämmehof. And let your soul dangle during a walk along the Emme or during a trekking with our donkeys. The by no means stubborn gray animals lead you into a meditative walk, which is especially transmitted to children. Activities If you like to travel on foot or by bike, the Giebelhaus is the perfect base: many well-signposted hiking and cycling routes take our guests to unique viewpoints, picturesque villages and hamlets as well as stately, flower-hung farms. At the numerous farm shops you can stock up on local specialties and easily get into conversation with locals.
