There is an electric fireplace in the Eifeler Stube (living room). The original house had no fireplace.

Flooring

Downstairs has the original flooring in most places, except for the toilet area, the wet room and the downstairs bedroom. Upstairs has the original wooden flooring with some renovated patches. Because the wood is probably pine, it is too weak to be left bare. Therefore, we have covered it with new appropriate flooring. For hygienic purposes, we have chosen flooring which is cleans easily and hardly gathers dust.

Food

The guests bring along their own foodstuffs and drinks. They can also go to local restaurants, tea rooms and pubs.

Forests

The Dojo-Haus combines the best of two worlds: the centre of a village and a short distance to 360° nature. Choose whatever direction, you will soon see wonderful views or smell delightful forests.

Tip 1 | close both the roller blind and the hanging curtains in the bedroom.

Tip 3 | hang a towel or a coat over the coat rack at the door and thus in front of the windows of the door.

Sports seminar

See: seminar, dojo

Stage

The Dojo-Saal has a theatre stage with curtains. Do not just pull or slide them open. Use the pulley system for the large curtains and the string for the small curtains. If you slide them open, you will break the curtain system.

Stube

Style

The Dojo-Haus is an Eifel house that was renovated by the Vansteenland-De Baets family in 2015 and 2016. The style consists of, among other things, natural stone from the Belgian Eifel, bluestone from the Schieferstollen in Recht and wood from the Flemish village of Lembeke.

View

The Dojo-Haus is in the middle of the village, in between houses. Tip: look between the houses and see the distant views of nature.

Village

The village of Recht offers several services, has some dining locations and lies in the middle of nature. The villagers are exceptionally friendly. Some tips:

Say Guten Morgen, Guten Tag or Bejour as a greeting.
Say Tschüß when saying goodbye.

Things often happen in the village, e.g. the village fair every last weekend of September. Visit the website while planning your stay: http://dorf-recht.be/

Waste

The guests sort their waste and throw it in the designated containers at the end of their stay:

The municipal glass container is at the back of the village graveyard (Zur Ochsenbaracke).
PMD, which stands for plastic bottles, metal cans and brik packaging, in the car park container.
Paper and cardboard in the car park container.
Residual, general waste in the car park container.

Waterbed

The ground-floor bedroom has a waterbed. Because the mattress is a non-standard size, the Dojo-Haus provides an appropriate mattress cover. ♣ The guests bring their bed linen along: two pillow covers and a double duvet cover. Or, hire a bed linen set.

Wheelchair users

The ground floor is accessible for wheelchair users: there is a designated parking space, a slope towards the entrance, wide doors, no stairs, a double room with a waterbed, an accessible bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink.

Whiteboard

There is a red glassboard on wheels. ♣ The guests bring along their glassboard/whiteboard markers.

Zen garden

There is a zen garden with a cosy zen corner on the mezzanine of the Dojo-Saal. Because the indoor garden does not get much daylight, it is difficult to use real plants. However, we have tried to give it as much zen garden radiation as possible. This quiet corner offers seats, books and the like.
