Since 1926, Dabis has been owned by the Gaugler family and is now run by the fourth generation. The Dabis Guest Farm turn-off is 10 kilometres north of Helmeringhausen, on the C14 towards Maltahöhe. A 7-kilometre track off the main road, with some dips, brings you to the farmstead. Dabis has achieved an effective balance between welcoming visitors and operating as a farm.
Accommodation
Accommodation is provided in six simple, comfortable twin-bed rooms with en-suite showers (one has a bath instead) and toilets. Guests also benefit from a swimming pool and a tennis court (racquets available).
Farm Experience
One of the main attractions of staying here is learning about the farm. Most guests arrive by 15:00, have tea or coffee at 16:00, and then go out on a farm drive for an hour or two. In-depth techniques will be explained, complete with information on the area’s climate over the last four decades. Dabis now farms mainly with crossbred sheep for lamb production, using advanced rotation techniques to survive on the meagre rainfall. Although the main emphasis is on farming, there are a number of small animals around to be seen.
The Gaugler family are more than happy to share their farm with guests, and their knowledge can considerably enrich your stay.
