What the listings don't tell you
Your stay at the park
Opened in 2013, it is one of the most recent parks we follow, and it shows in the design of the houses, plainer and better opened to the outside than earlier generations. The Bostalsee, a 120-hectare lake, borders the estate; sailing and the beach are available there in the warmer months. The Zoover rating stands at 8.1 out of 10 from 614 reviews.
Distances count here more than elsewhere. Luxembourg is 1 hr 16 away, Metz 1 hr 38, Strasbourg 2 hr 12, but Brussels 3 hr 25: this park is aimed first at travellers from the south-east. Around it, the Saarland offers an unexpected mix. Sankt Wendel is 8 minutes away and the Straße der Skulpturen, an open-air trail of contemporary sculpture, 5. The gemstone mines of Idar-Oberstein, where you go down underground, take up half a day, 39 minutes away. Trier and its Roman monuments are 50 minutes away, the Saarschleife, the loop of the Saar seen from above, 1 hr 07, the Villa Borg and its Roman reconstruction 1 hr 12. The Landhaus St. Urban, one Michelin star, is 35 minutes away.
Accommodation is split into Comfort for 4 to 8 people, Premium for 2 to 8 and VIP for 2 to 10, which leaves room for two families together. This park will not suit anyone coming from the north of Belgium or from the Netherlands: the drive is long and the cultural offer nearby, Roman and Saar-related, speaks mainly to adults.
