Waking up among the trees. Having breakfast outside while listening to the birds. At Park Berkenrhode, nature is right at your doorstep, all day long. That environment deserves attention. That's why we make thoughtful choices in our vacation homes, at the park, and in the natural surroundings. From gas-free heating to sedum rooftops: we take real measures to make sustainability a part of what we do.
Comfort with a focus on energy and water
Our vacation homes are gas-free. Depending on the type of home, we use solar panels, solar collectors, heat pumps, or electric heating. Good insulation helps retain heat. With LED lighting, induction cooktops, and water-saving showerheads and faucets, we reduce our energy and water consumption.
We make these choices when it comes to facilities as well. The outdoor pool is heated using solar energy and heat pumps. At the park, you'll find charging stations for electric cars and bicycles, as well as facilities for recycling. This is how we ensure that attention to your stay goes hand in hand with attention to the surroundings.
Green roofs
Sedum plants grow at various vacation homes. Together, these succulents form a green roof: a layer of greenery that blends in with the wooded surroundings. If you look around from your home or while out for a walk, you will see how nature grows even above you in some places.
A sedum roof temporarily retains some of the rainwater and helps slow down runoff. In addition, the vegetation can help limit how the roof warms up. As soon as the sedum blooms, bees and other insects use it to find nectar and pollen. In this way, the roof also plays a role in the natural environment surrounding the home.
A park where nature also has its place
Among the homes, you'll find native plants, birdhouses, insect hotels, and woodpiles. In the Nature Experience Forest, we leave the vegetation undisturbed as much as possible. This is also where you will find our beekeeper's apiary. All of these places tell part of the same story: treating the environment that hosts you with care.
