Carving in the forest

  • Your goal: To come down and create something creative from nature
  • Where to? In the woods around our house
  • When? Perfect in summer and autumn

Imagine - you're sitting in the middle of nature. The gentle rustling of the leaves in your ear. The scent of the forest in your nose. And in your hands, a piece of wood waiting to be moulded by you. Carving not only gives you peace and quiet, but also a deep focus. Every cut requires concentration, lets you forget the hectic pace of everyday life and grounds you in a very special way. We are happy to give you a quick guide to carving if you need inspiration. Give it a try - you'll be surprised how enriching it is.

Naturally special

  • Create a ‘creative wooden souvenir’ full of memories.
  • Come down and find deep relaxation in nature.
  • Carving is independent of the weather.

Real no-gos

  • Carving without concentration - because our knives are sharp!
  • Don't forget your plasters ;)
  • Please don't be wasteful with nature - a small branch is usually all you need for carving.

Some ideas for carving

  • Mushroom, flower, bird
  • Cooking or honey spoon
  • Maypipe or butter knife

Where can you carve?
You can carve anywhere in the woods around our house. Of course, Nadine will give you valuable tips on the best places to carve. But it's best to explore the woods yourself.

What do you need for carving? 
You will receive the ‘Opinel knife’ as a gift at our reception - a memento that will entice you into nature at home too. Let the child in you out and experience how good it feels to simply be outside, let your hands work and clear your head.

Carving is not just about the result, but above all about the moment of ‘just being’. You not only take home a handmade souvenir, but also the memory of the peace and connection you felt on holiday.
