A breathtaking view
The Bergenbach farmer's lodge is located on the western flank of the Thur valley at 800 m altitude. The lodge offers a view of the Vosges peaks and the village of Fellering Oderen in the valley.

Since 1978
 Jacques Simon and Marlene Kapp live here for over thirty years with their family.

Marlene is bilingual and welcomes the German-speaking hikers. She loves to share his passion for philosophy in convivial evenings with her guests.

A bustling farm
The farming's a priority for the Kapp-Simon family. There are a dozen pigs, hundred goats and twenty bovine grunting, bleating, mooing. Their also produce honey and eggs. And who expected Lamas in the Vosges?
