Just a few kilometers away are several large lakes perfect for swimming, and a mere 50 meters behind the house there's a large pond in the woods that will make your four-legged friend's heart beat faster. It also attracts the occasional angler. There's something for everyone here.

Be sure to visit the wonderful animal park on the edge of Beverstedt at the Kulturhof (cultural center). Here, a former veterinarian and his wife are preserving regional animal species from extinction. We highly recommend a visit to discover the diverse animal species native to the region, which are cared for in a spacious outdoor area. Events are also regularly held on the grounds and in the adjoining café. http://www.cux-art.de/

In the town center, just 2 kilometers from your front door, you'll find everything you need for daily life: various supermarkets, hairdressers, bakeries, and charming little boutiques.

Enjoy long walks and bike rides, or visit Bremerhaven, just 25 kilometers away, and explore the Klimahaus (Climate House). Here you can even work up a sweat in winter. Discover many different places around the world along the 8th meridian without much effort, cost, or travel time: https://www.klimahaus-bremerhaven.de/.

If you're in Bremerhaven, you should also visit the interactive and impressive German Emigration Center; you might learn more about yourself than you ever knew before. https://dah-bremerhaven.de/ - The attached restaurant is also highly recommended: https://dah-bremerhaven.de/speisesaal/.

A visit to the very special shopping center right next door, the Outlet Center, is equally worthwhile. It offers a unique atmosphere with small boutiques and restaurants: https://mein-outlet-shopping.de/.

Take the opportunity to stroll along the dike and enjoy the fresh North German sea air. You'll find all of this in one place.

Besides Bremerhaven, we recommend a visit to Cuxhaven for sea lovers – experience the North Sea to the fullest. If the tides aren't cooperating, take the opportunity to try mudflat hiking: https://www.cuxhaven-tours.de/wattwandern.html and visit Cuxhaven's landmarks – it's well worth it.

About an hour away, you can reach Bremen and stroll through its large and charming old town. Enjoy the evening with delicious food and drinks along the Schlachte promenade, or let yourself be swept away by the vibrant atmosphere and explore the various bars in the Viertel district.

You can also reach and explore Hamburg in about 1.5 hours via the A1 motorway. Visit the Speicherstadt (warehouse district) and get a good scare in the Hamburg Dungeon.
