Rolling hills, lush forests, glittering lakes – Sauerland has it all. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this home in the small village of Helden is a perfect choice. On the outside, it's a typical period cottage, but inside it's modern and bright, with all the modern touches you might need. Enjoy breakfast in your private garden each morning, taking in the sounds of birdsong and the nearby stream. You won't spend too long at home each day, though – there's too much to see in the surrounding area. Drive to charming Attendorn and wander the trails around Biggesee Lake, climbing the viewing platform to get a better look. Or grab your hiking boots and explore the trails that snake all around this area – you might discover a ruined castle or untouched glade. After a day in the great outdoors, you'll welcome a home-cooked meal, or head out to a nearby restaurant. If the weather is on your side, you can even fire up the barbecue in the garden.
