Small, very pleasant spot by a pond. No facilities. A distant road is not very bothersome. Nobody here at the end of July. Just the kind of place we like!
It is an idyllic place, but unfortunately private. The gamekeeper kindly came to tell me that I could not stay.
A beautiful, idyllic place. We saw or heard at least 20 bird species, and the frogs croaked loudly. We stayed here for two nights. The grounds were worked on in winter, so it is still a little bare at the moment, but it will grow back quickly.
Level, quiet and clean spot under the pine trees. We spent one very peaceful night here in a van. Please help keep this place as clean as it was. Several spots are possible along the path beside the lake up to the clearing.
A very nice place for an overnight stop. By a pond with an unobstructed view, allowing you to enjoy the sun late in the evening and early in the morning. Note: very humid in the morning, but at this time of year, late September, that is normal. No noise. Very peaceful night. We recommend it.
Small, quiet pond; we were alone when we visited at the end of October. The pond is currently being worked on, but there is enough space to park. Very peaceful night.
Lovely little lake for spending the night. There are several places for vans around it, so we are quite far apart from one another.
Really quiet night, very clean, so please keep it that way. Shady spot under the pine trees. Several places along the lakeside.
Accessible to cars and motorhomes, with the possibility of stopping in two or three places along the path by the pond. Be sure to leave the path clear, as municipal workers came by to drop off vegetation. We had a very pleasant night; no road nearby, convenient for dogs. Many water birds pass through here. We approve!
Easily accessible and very quiet next to the pond; we only met one person walking their dog. The place is good for one night, though the scenery is not exceptional. A few mosquitoes in the evening, but not bothersome.
Careful, the GPS is lying to you! Do not let it take you through Zol! Steep slope, ruts tending to become marshy, and it is not the road at all... Otherwise it is charming, but not a rediscovered paradise; a few tractor drifting sessions have taken their toll.
Quiet, with a few fishermen in the late afternoon and several possible spots.
Superb spot, very level ground, lovely scenery. Quite peaceful, but you must be okay with all the farm noises! Rooster early, dogs, tractor early, road noise in the background. No mosquitoes for us.
Nature at its best, just as we like it. Do not be afraid to take the dirt road; it is passable even with a 7.5-ton vehicle.
