Gerswalde is blossoming: New guest house inspires Berlin creatives!

In the picturesque Uckermark, more precisely in Gerswalde, it is currently becoming increasingly popular to enjoy nature and spend relaxing weekends. With its charming “Bienenhaus” daycare center, which relies entirely on ecological wooden toys, this place has established itself as the “Prenzlauer Berg of the Uckermark” and has been attracting an increasing number of Berlin weekend guests and creative types since the 2010s. Real estate prices in the region are continually rising, which underlines the changes in the more rural parts of the community such as Böckenberg and Briesen. As berliner-zeitung.de reports, there are also exciting new architectural projects to discover there.

A particularly successful project in Gerswalde is the “Buchholzer” guesthouse ensemble, which was designed by the architects Ulrike Flacke and Nina Otto. On a spacious plot of 7,500 square meters, this ensemble with two guest houses, “Beech” and “Weide”, and another building that houses three studios, takes visitors into a world of modern architecture. The inspiration came from the traditional wooden buildings in the area and the historic tobacco barn. The clear lines and the large panoramic windows give the overnight stay a special flair. Here you can stay in a studio for 80 euros or in a fully equipped holiday home for 160 euros. If you want to rent the entire ensemble, you pay from 640 euros per night.

A place of meeting

Particularly noteworthy is the positive integration of the guest house into the village community of Buchholz, even if there was some skepticism at the beginning. The ensemble can be booked both individually and in groups, making it an attractive option for families and groups of friends. There are currently a total of 24 sleeping spaces, which perfectly showcase the rural idyll of the place.

Parallel to the developments in Gerswalde, there are also global events that are attracting people's attention. The Northern Caribbean is currently preparing for the arrival of Tropical Storm Erin, which will have maximum sustained winds, according to apnews.com. of 60 mph is reported. While tropical storm warnings are in effect for several islands such as Anguilla and St. Barthelemy, the storm represents a potential harbinger of a turbulent hurricane season. Weather experts are expecting an active season with up to ten hurricanes possible.

And while the weather in the Caribbean is causing unrest, people are increasingly drawn to the countryside. Whether for a weekend in Gerswalde or a cozy stay in the “Beehouse” – the balance between nature and modernity is very important in this region.
