A holiday home in the spa resort of Waltersdorf
The Richter Häusl is located in the quiet Upper Village of the spa resort of Waltersdorf, a district of Großschönau, and is only about 400 m away from the border to the Czech Republic and the starting point of various (ski) hiking trails. The listed Umgebinde house likely dates back to the 17th century and has been in family ownership since 1932. Characteristic of Umgebinde houses are, among other things, the cozy wooden block room with many small windows and low ceilings. The house was carefully and extensively restored in 2009 in accordance with preservation standards and has since been partially renovated multiple times. It now offers space for up to six people to enjoy a special stay in a historic atmosphere.
The Block Room
The heart of the house is the large block room, which features a harmoniously integrated kitchenette and offers comfortable seating at the large table for up to six people. Of course, it includes a large fridge, an electric stove, and a microwave, as well as a dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle, and toaster. You should feel comfortable on holiday and not compromise on convenience. In addition, the sofa and armchairs provide the ideal spot for a glass of wine or Oberlausitz beer to unwind at the end of the day together.
The Bathrooms
Also on the ground floor, opposite the block room, there are two separate bathrooms, each with a shower and toilet. One bathroom is additionally equipped with a modern bathtub. This way, even with six guests, there are no waiting times. Additionally, the washing machine and tumble dryer available will take care of everyday chores during your holiday. In summer, there is a large clothesline available in the garden.
The Bedrooms
After eventful days, you can sleep in the timber-framed upper floor, where the Lausche Room, the Bohemian Room, and the Sonneberg Room invite you to well-deserved and restful sleep. All rooms are furnished as double rooms, with one room having separate beds. The rooms have been preserved in the original style of the 1930s, so that the atmosphere from long-ago times remains palpable today, while modern comfort is still provided for the current residents.
The Garden
In the ski room accessible from the garden, you can securely store your skis, bicycles, or golf bags. A 900 m² natural garden with old fruit trees, rhododendrons, a small terrace, and a small mountain stream at the back invites you to relax and sunbathe. For barbecuing on the terrace, a modern charcoal grill is available. A parking space for your vehicle is provided on the property.
The Surroundings
The road along the house leads only to a few houses and restaurants right at the Czech border; there is no through traffic. Directly opposite the house is the Lausche slope, which is serviced by a ski lift. Hiking enthusiasts can climb the 792 m high Lausche and, on a clear day, see the Landeskrone near Görlitz or gaze towards the Czech Republic into Bohemia or even to the Krkonoš Mountains. Beautiful hiking trails lead around Waltersdorf or to neighboring towns, for example to the romantic monastery ruin on the Oybin mountain. Caspar David Friedrich was already fascinated by it and painted several pictures of it. The tri-border area of Germany-Poland-Czech Republic is only about 15 km away in a straight line.
Waltersdorf itself offers plenty of dining options. The Trixi leisure pool with wellness and sauna complex as well as brine baths attracts not only children but is aimed at the whole family. In summer, the Großschönau Forest Beach and Olbersdorfer Lake just before Zittau also entice visitors. History and culture enthusiasts will find exciting sights, for example, in the German Damask and Terry Museum in Großschönau or in nearby Zittau, Görlitz, Löbau, and Bautzen. Day trips to Dresden or Prague are also easily possible.
