Vacation in the idyllic village of Dunum near the North Sea spa town of Esens-Bensersiel
Our property, “Haus Sassenhof”/“Haus Hohe Lucht,” featuring five comfortable and cozy vacation apartments and an equally cozy vacation home, is located in the wonderfully idyllic farming village of Dunum, in the immediate vicinity of the North Sea resort of Esens-Bensersiel on the East Frisian North Sea coast. Here you’ll find the perfect setting for a wonderful and relaxing vacation in East Frisia.
Our five vacation apartments range in size from approximately 65 to 85 square metres and offer plenty of space for up to four or six people. Four of the five vacation apartments are located in “Haus Sassenhof.”
In the “Hohe Lucht” vacation home, which is approximately 185 square metres in size, you can enjoy your vacation with eight people plus two additional small children.
Our property, featuring the “Sassenhof” and “Hohe Lucht” houses, is located away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the North Sea resorts along the North Sea coast. Here, you can go on wonderful walks through the countryside and enjoy nature as well as the fresh air of East Frisia. And yet, you can get there in no time by car or ride your bike to the coast. The fresh air you’ll breathe is wholesome North Sea salt air!
Our property offers plenty of space for the whole family. So there are plenty of opportunities for the kids to play, for adults to relax and sunbathe, or for the whole family to have a barbecue.
Dunum is a small village located away from the main roads. Nevertheless, you can reach the coast by car in about ten minutes. The areas and farms in Dunum are spread out over a wide area. We offer you an unforgettable vacation with games of “Boßeln,” barbecue evenings at the village sports field, folk theatre, carriage rides, and group biking and hiking tours.
Dunum is centrally located with excellent transportation connections to all tourist destinations in East Frisia. It’s not far to the coast and thus to the tourist and spa facilities, such as the North Sea spa towns of Esens-Bensersiel or Neuharlingersiel. However, you do not have to pay a guest tax here. We only offer the “Nordsee-ServiceCard” (spa card) if it’s worth it for you.
Around Dunum, you’ll find the authentic East Frisian hedgerow landscape, extensive wetlands with beautiful and fascinating flora and fauna, as well as a large forest teeming with wildlife. You’ll be amazed at how often, while cycling along the side roads and bike paths, you’ll be able to spot numerous wild animals in the meadows and fields at dusk.
According to an old legend, the grave of the Frisian king Radbod lies beneath Dunum’s “Radbodsberg.” He was the only chieftain to unite all the Frisian tribes and secure a historic victory against the Norsemen. Our old 13th-century brick church is also a special attraction.
The East Frisia Hiking Trail runs right through Dunum and offers you the healthiest way to reach the North Sea by bike—whether you’re heading to the coastal and North Sea spas or the dike. We, the residents of Dunum, have also prepared a biking and hiking map for you. Our location is ideal for walks, bike rides, and all kinds of explorations of East Frisia’s unique and diverse natural landscape. Enjoy an active yet relaxing vacation on the North Sea and make the most of the region’s invigorating climate.
On the way to the beach in nearby Bensersiel, you’ll pass through the historic town of Esens north of Dunum. There, children can enjoy the “Klabautermann” indoor play park, while adults can take advantage of a wide range of dining, shopping, and leisure options.
The North Sea spa town of Bensersiel has plenty to offer for sports, recreation, and fun—for example, the harbour leading to the island of Langeoog, the beach, the beach portal with the covered play area “Bennis Abenteuerland,” swimming pools, tennis courts, surfing spots along the dike, fitness facilities, beach volleyball, fishing opportunities, and much more.
