You like undisturbed enjoyment with the family bubble in beautiful surroundings? Then Haus Turbes is the perfect place in a traffic-free, dead-end street, near the wooded valley of the Weberbach. (Protected nature reserve Natagora Nature Point)

The modern-functionally furnished historic farmhouse (1552) is surrounded by a large garden (3000 m²) with wooden garden furniture, sunny BBQ terrace, outdoor chess board, children's games and separate soccer field. Parking is available in the driveway.

Haus Turbes includes two comfortable vacation homes: Beverburcht and the smaller Swallow's Nest (Only in the Christmas vacations, when the garden is not used, we offer both for rent at the same time. Rest and privacy would also be appreciated).

Vacation apartment BLOWNEST: (8-10 pers. 3 bedrooms, bathrooms with double shower, 2 toilets).

Spacious living room with cozy wood stove (and electric heating), fully equipped kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, freezer, oven, blender, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, dishwasher … Ecological dishwashing and dishwashing products, garbage bags, coffee filters … you do not need to bring. Bottled water is also not required. The municipality of Amel provides spring water on the water supply network.

3 bedrooms: Beds with quality slats, mattresses and anti-allergic comforters guarantee a blissful night's sleep. Melancholy by starry skies, or as a couple in the moonlight … the street lights go out at midnight. (Room with double bed, room with double bed and bunk bed, room with 2 single beds and high sleeper 2 children)

Along the house runs the red and white marked Great Route path GR 56, the MTB route and the go.eastbelgium-app hiking route network (route node 51 – 59). Commented maps with loop tours starting at the front door are ready and waiting. For those who like (flat) cycling: on the old railroad bed of the Vennbahn, you can go in all directions. (Aachen, Stavelot, Lake Bütgenbach, Monschau, Prüm, Troisvierges …)


The house is smoke-free, also pets keep watch at home in the absence of their owner. Youth, student and bachelor weekends are sure to find other suitable locations.

We gladly cater to individual questions or interests of our guests, because a carefree, relaxing vacation, also offers us pleasure.

We look forward to welcoming you to Haus Turbes!
