What to bring to the bubble tent

The bubble tent is fully equipped. A comfortable king-size bed, linen, towels and the basics are all there. Below is what you are best off bringing yourself.

Summer (April to September)

In summer you are mostly outside by the bubble tent. The evenings can cool down, so bring something warm for after the hot tub.

Practical notes

What you need not bring, what the grounds ask of you, and what not to leave at home.

Already there

  • King-size bed with linen and pillows
  • Towels
  • Basic kitchen equipment and crockery
  • Coffee and tea
  • A fridge
  • Lighting and heating
  • Eye masks and earplugs

Good to know

  • The ground is unpaved. Comfortable shoes help.
  • The hot tub is wood-fired. Heating takes about an hour for every ten degrees, so start in good time.

Don’t forget

  • A charger for your phone
  • A camera for the night sky
  • A good book or a game
  • And above all: no hurry. You are here to slow down.
