Camping in Fribourg
Holzfass Bauernhof-Auszeit
Switzerland-3150 Schwarzenburg
Welcome to the Wooden Barrel, your sanctuary in the heart of nature.
Sometimes all you need is a quiet spot, fresh air, and the freedom to just be. That is exactly what awaits you here. Nestled in nature, our lovingly designed wooden barrel offers the perfect escape from everyday life—no rush, no obligations.
Around the barrel, you'll find plenty of favorite spots: hammocks under apple trees invite you to unwind, while the nearby Sense and Schwarzwasser rivers offer a refreshing dip on warm days. For those who love to stay active, the Gantrisch region offers a variety of hiking and biking trails, ranging from leisurely strolls to athletic challenges.
Inside, you'll find surprising comfort: a large double bed (2 x 2 m) with fresh linens ensures restful nights. Two additional sleeping spots make the barrel ideal for families or friends as well.
Everything you need for your stay is provided: a refrigerator, coffee machine, gas stove, as well as dishes and cooking utensils—simple and practical.
Dining here is a highlight: whether it's a BBQ at the fire pit, raclette under the stars, or a cozy evening fondue, everything you need is right on-site.
The outdoor area, complete with a table, bench, and grill, will quickly become your favorite place. This is where the best memories are made, sharing a meal by the fire under the open sky.
Another highlight is our farm, home to llamas, cats, cows, chickens, and Swiss Mountain dogs—a lively, warm environment full of special encounters.
Treat yourself to a break. Arrive. And enjoy the peace.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Super hospitable family. Very cozy, everything you need is there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We felt very comfortable and welcome. We found Lydia, Markus, and their family to be warm and open. We would like to thank them very much for that. We really enjoyed the hot tub, the nature, and being adopted by a cat.
Lydia and Markus are super friendly and warm. The sleeping barrel is super comfortably equipped and we had dreamy nights under the starry sky. The area around Schwarzenburg is very beautiful and offers several highlights to explore. We were also greeted very warmly by the barrel cat and got to cuddle with her for hours. :) The hot pot under the starry sky is highly recommended. We will definitely be back.
It was really lovely! Great place and very friendly people. And there is even a very sweet cat included for free as a house guest!
We had a few lovely days in the wooden barrel. It was a nice little break and very relaxing for us. Would recommend it. 😊
Lydia and Markus turned our one-night summer stay into a completely unforgettable and perfect experience! We were given a detailed tour of the stables, even got to bottle-feed a little calf, and during the night, we were even able to witness the birth of a new calf. It was quite a spectacle! The breakfast basket filled with all sorts of homemade treats was the perfect finishing touch. Thank you so much, dear Lydia and Markus!
A wonderful farm experience for us and our children in a family atmosphere!
Once again, a totally relaxing time where we were able to experience the warm hospitality and meet both the people and the animals. The sleeping barrel is simply wonderfully furnished. A huge thank you!
