bymeyers Our three-sided farmstead, which we've gradually transformed, is located in the heart of our beautiful hometown of Ummendorf. It was actually too big for just the two of us, so the idea arose to put it to better use. The former stable buildings have already served as a garage, workshop, and private party room over the past few decades. Enjoyment & beautiful things Opening hours: Friday and Sunday, and by appointment for larger groups
