Gîte / Cottage


Our holiday apartment "Am Schänzjen" is functionally and lovingly furnished, perfectly suitable for 2 to 4 adults or for families with children, also for 1 toddler. 

  • Wooden summer sun terrace with nice views of nature. 
  • Garden with swing and slide. 
  • Baby bed, baby bath and high chair available. 
  • Free Wifi, cable television (including Flemish and Dutch channels), internet radio. 
  • Free parking. Bicycle storage under roof possible.

The holiday home is perfect for cyclists, hikers, nature lovers and explorers, ... or for people who just want to relax and unwind.

'Am Schänzjen' is right on the edge of the forest, on the southern edge of Born (municipality of Amel). The village is located in the heart of the Belgian Eifel, in the East Cantons and in the Eifel-Ardennes region, near the German-Belgian High Fens - Eifel Nature Park.

In the centre of the village, the old Freiherr-Von-Korff Bridge, built in 2016, with its eleven arches, spans the well-known Vennbahn Cycle Path. Born is therefore an ideal starting point for extensive bike tours with an e-bike, mountain bike, trekking bike or road bike. In Born, you can start a tour in the extensive cycling network of more than 1,300 kilometres of mapped out and signposted cycling and mountain bike trails.

Numerous hiking trails take you through wonderful forest and meadow landscapes. In the holiday apartment you will find - in addition to extensive tourist information - also a number of descriptions of small circular walks that start right outside the door.

The holiday home 'Am Schänzjen' is 20 km from the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit.

Simply follow the instructions on the collection bins in the service room.
All recycling materials must be strictly clean + dry.

• For environmental reasons, we try to heat our hot water as far as possible with a solar system - with quite good results. That is why we are happy when our guests handle economically with the hot water.

(*) Het enige wat de ouders eventueel zelf zouden kunnen meebrengen is een klein slaapkussen voor het kleintje.
The RAVeL cycle network in the Eifel-Ardennes region and in the High Fens was built on former railways and is ideal for cyclists and cyclists. A highlight on these RAVeL roads is the cycle route Vennbahn between Aachen and Troisvierges. It is one of the longest and most beautiful cycle paths on former railways.
The High Fens are one of the most untouched pieces of nature of the Ardennes and the Eifel. It is one of the last highlands in Europe. It is wonderful walking in this mysterious high-lying area, with many water courses. The signal of Botrange is the highest point of Belgium with 694 meters above TAW.
Spa-Francorchamps is a real tourist and sporting attraction where the GP of Belgium Formula 1, a Manche of the Endurance World Championship, the 24 Hours of Spa, as well as all sorts of other activities are organized on a 220-day piste.
