Haus Turbes Zwaluwnest 6-8 (+2 kids)

Haus Turbes - 500 years of hospitality

Herresbach - High Fens-Eifel Nature Park

Do you enjoy undisturbed enjoyment with the family bubble in beautiful surroundings? Then Haus Turbes is the perfect place in a traffic-calmed cul-de-sac, near the wooded valley of the Weberbach. (Protected nature area Natagora-Natuurpunt)

The modern-functionally furnished historic farm (1552) is surrounded by a large herbicide-free garden (3000 m²) with wooden garden furniture, sunny BBQ terrace, outdoor chess board, children's games and separate football field. You can park in the driveway.

Haus Turbes comprises two comfortable holiday homes: Beaver Castle and the smaller Zwaluwnest (Only during the Christmas holidays, when the garden is not used, we offer both at the same time for rent. We would also appreciate peace and privacy.)

ZWALUWNEST holiday home: (6-8 pers + 2 kids, 3 bedrooms, bathrooms with double shower, 2 toilets).

Spacious living room with attractive wood stove (and electric heating), fully equipped kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, freezer, oven, mixer, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, dishwasher ... Ecological dishwashing and dishwasher products, garbage bags, coffee filters ... you don't have to bring along. Not even bottled water. The municipality of Amel provides spring water for the water supply network.

3 bedrooms: Beds with high-quality slatted bases, mattresses and anti-allergic duvets guarantee a wonderful night's sleep. The street lights go out at midnight to enjoy the starry sky even better. (room with a double bed, room with a double bed and bunk bed, room with 2 single beds and a bunk bed for 2 children)

The red and white marked Grand Route GR 56, the MTB route and the go.eastbelgium app hiking route network (route node 51 - 59) run past the house. Commented maps with loop-shaped tours that leave at the front door are ready. For those who like to cycle (flat): on the old railway bed of the Vennbahn, you can go in all directions. (Aachen, Stavelot, Lake Bütgenbach, Monschau, Prüm, Troisvierges ...)

As soon as snow falls in Belgium, it is beautiful white in Herresbach (600 m altitude). The Botrange is nearby, but the immediate neighborhood is just as beautiful ... and much quieter! Cross-country and alpine skiing is possible in the immediate vicinity. We prepare the sleds!

The house is non-smoking, pets also keep watch at home in the absence of their owner. Youth, student and bachelorette weekends will certainly find other suitable locations.


We are happy to respond to individual questions or interests of our guests, because a carefree, relaxing holiday for our guests is our greatest pleasure.

We look forward to welcoming you to Haus Turbes!
