Glamping: what is it? A night in a sleeping barrel

Glamping is a blend of "glamorous" and "camping" – closeness to nature without giving up comfort. Instead of pitching a tent and sleeping on a mat, you move into a fully furnished place to stay.

What makes glamping special

Think unusual accommodations with a proper bed, electricity and often a small kitchen – from a lodge to a sleeping barrel. You skip setting up and taking down, still get that camping feeling in nature, and stay dry even when it rains.

A night in a sleeping barrel

The sleeping barrel is a glamping classic: a cosy wooden sleeping space, round and unusual, ideal for a few special nights for two or with the family. It combines the adventure of camping with the comfort of a fixed accommodation.
