Impressionen vom TraumzeitHof

Since 2012 we run the hotel TraumzeitHof. It is located in the middle of the Naturpark Südheide, on the outskirts of the small heath village Dalle, surrounded by wide pastures and forests.

From the beginning it was our ambition to affect our environment as little as possible by our actions and to use resources as sparingly as possible.

We are constantly looking at the options available and replacing conventional options with sustainable ones. For example, under „Food & Beverage“ we use products from organic production almost without exception. The "Bioland" farms in Eschede are an excellent source of meat and potatoes.

When it comes to food, quality in rearing, production and processing always comes first for us. Regional products are in the foreground.

However, we do not make "organic" a dogma, but weigh it responsibly. Thus, from our point of view, it makes more sense to use a genuine heather honey from the southern Heide than an "organic" certified honey that has been flown halfway around the globe. The same applies, for example, to beer from the Celle brewery, produced, by the way, according to the old brewing art and absolutely free of micro-plastics, and only 25 kilometres away from us, as well as to the delicious fruit juice spritzers from Lütts Landlust from Lower Saxony, but also, for example, to asparagus and fish.

Oekologischer Abdruck


We have the highest standards for our actions in order to find a balance between economy and ecology. In doing so, we are always looking for new ways.
To achieve this, we rely on considerately produced, fair-trade products that are as regionally produced as possible.

Our products and suppliers

Foods and beverages

Organic cosmetics

Our coffee specialities

The delicious organic Café Intención is officially certified with the Fairtrade mark. The production of this organic coffee excludes the use of fertilisers, synthetic or chemical sprays.

Our honey specialities

Heidehonig is probably one of the best-known products from the Lüneburger Heide. We get our honey directly from a beekeeper in the region. You can not only taste it with us, but of course also buy it and take it home with you.


Our TraumzeitHof is a NATUROTEL

Farmyard,  Naturotel & Biohotel

For the overnight stay desires of fellow nature lovers the hotel chain "NATUROTEL" was created by the Lüneburger Heide. These are hotels, which are characterised by special nature proximity and nature responsibility.

A NATUROTEL must at least fulfill the following criteria:

  • A NATUROTEL is a selected, regionally typical house in the Lüneburger Heide in a particularly beautiful location close to nature.
  • The hotel may have a maximum of 120 beds.
  • Sustainable action is guaranteed.
  • The furnishings are nature-oriented, the cuisine light and with ingredients from the region.
  • You will receive mainly sustainably produced products (organic) for breakfast.
  • Since you will certainly be out and about in nature a lot, the hotel provides you with a packed lunch to pack yourself.
  • Also there is free WiFi, rest areas outside and daily newspapers or magazines for you.
  • We will gladly inform you about the excursion and event program.
  • All NATUROTELs have been personally selected and checked by the Lüneburger Heide GmbH.

We are an ecologically oriented house

For a small company, this is not always easy to implement. We consistently realise everything that is (technically) possible for us, and we are constantly working on improvements. Therefore, we also welcome any suggestions from our guests.

The TraumzeitHof is located in a water protection area

Therefore, we operate a state-of-the-art, fully biological small sewage treatment plant with a special purification effect. The treated water trickles into the sandy subsoil of our meadows. The waste water values are checked twice a year and the plant is serviced.

Cleanliness and hygiene are important keywords for us

We use biodegradable, gentle cleaning agents. We provide sustainably produced organic cosmetic soaps and shower gels for our guests. We operate our own Miele washing centre with low water and energy consumption (e.g. by means of a heat pump, automatic dosing device). This means that we always have the cleaning process comprehensively under control and thus avoid unnecessary transport routes and environmental pollution. No fabric softeners or similar agents are used. Fun fact, we do not iron our bedsheets either as this leads to very high electricity consumption. We ask our guests to refrain from a daily change of towels.
