Furnished in a modern country house style with a Scandinavian touch and featuring excellent, complete amenities, our Lotte vacation rental is the perfect getaway for anyone seeking peace and quiet and wanting to unwind from everyday life. The vacation rental is wheelchair-accessible and features two separate bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with a single bed), a large, light-filled living room with an adjoining, fully equipped kitchen in a simple country house style, and a bright, modern bathroom with a spacious, wheelchair-accessible shower. The entire vacation rental is tiled in a light wood-look finish and is also equipped with underfloor heating.
Dogs are expressly welcome in our vacation rentals and are already included in the nightly rate—after all, vacations are best when the whole family is there. :)
Working on vacation? No problem! Thanks to a fiber-optic connection, super-fast internet is available to you at all times. Ideal for working from home and streaming.
Outside, a large, covered patio awaits you with its own outdoor hot tub for your very own wellness routine. The adjacent garden is completely fenced in, so your dog can run and play to its heart’s content while you relax in the hot tub.

Nestled in the beautiful natural surroundings of Schleswig-Holstein, Bornholt—with its absolutely peaceful location—is the perfect starting point for day trips to Hamburg, Lübeck, and/or Kiel, as well as to Denmark and the North Sea or Baltic Sea. No matter where your travels take you, all possibilities are open to you from here.

The Kiel Canal (colloquially known as the NOK) is the world’s busiest man-made waterway. Just 150 meters from our Lotte vacation rental, you’re right in the heart of the wider world. Large container ships and small sailboats pass by every day, and you can enjoy watching them from the canal bank during a leisurely walk with your four-legged friend or an idyllic picnic. Passionate cyclists will find plenty to enjoy on the NOK Route, which stretches 325 km along the Kiel Canal and through the scenic countryside from Brunsbüttel to Kiel (or vice versa). The Kiel Canal offers you many opportunities for your very own personalized vacation experiences.


Bornholt is also located in the so-called “Three-Country Corner.” The municipality itself is located in the Rendsburg/Eckernförde district, but also borders the districts of Steinburg and Dithmarschen, offering a wide range of possibilities and, above all, short distances to great activities and sights.

Just a few kilometers away, the Dithmarschen Stone Age Park in Albersdorf delights families and history buffs alike and invites visitors on an exciting journey back in time.

Hanerau-Hademarschen, also just a few kilometers away and thus easily accessible, is known, among other things, as the place where the poet Theodor Storm lived and worked—it was here that he wrote his novella “Der Schimmelreiter.” In the town’s forest cemetery stands a monument honoring the poet, which is open to the public and depicts Theodor Storm sitting on a bench in a lifelike pose.

About 12 km away from our vacation apartments, a true natural paradise awaits you. The Louisenbad Schenefeld. The historic mill pond invites you to relax with its natural swimming area, sandy beach, and beautiful walking paths. Admission to the beach is traditionally free. In addition to restrooms and changing rooms, there is a large sunbathing lawn with plenty of seating. And if all that swimming has worked up an appetite, you can enjoy cakes, pastries, and other treats at Nanke’s Café—all while taking in the magnificent view of the mill pond from the lake pavilion. Highly recommended!

Thanks to their convenient and, above all, quick accessibility, Hademarschen (11 km), Albersdorf (11 km), and Schenefeld (13 km) offer great options for everyday shopping.
The nearest larger towns, Heide and Itzehoe, with their charming shopping streets, provide the ideal setting for a leisurely stroll through town and/or extensive shopping trips. Heide is also known for having the largest undeveloped market square in Germany. A weekly market is held there every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Come visit us in the north for a relaxed and restful vacation; discover the Kiel Canal and the many opportunities this charming region has to offer for your vacation.
