Family leisure in Sahlenburg

Traveling with children, experiencing exciting things, enjoying nature, experiencing community, gaining new impressions, making friends

The Obervieland family home is organizing a family holiday to Sahlenburg/Cuxhaven this year.

Dates: July 10–17, 2026

This offer is aimed at families (in all their diverse forms) for whom travel is not a given, partly because their income doesn't allow it. Or at families who simply want to vacation with other families.

This family retreat is sponsored by the Daniel Schnakenberg Foundation. Low-income families can receive a subsidy or grant towards travel expenses. The foundation's grant amount depends on income level. The required contribution should be manageable even for those with low incomes. BREBAU, GEWOBA, and VONOVIA have also contributed financially.

Costs with full funding:
Adults: €175,-
Children aged 3 and over: €175,-

Costs for self-paying guests:
Adults: €376,-
Children aged 3 and over: €266,-

What is included in the travel costs?
The stated amount covers all costs: travel expenses, program activities, accommodation and meals.

What awaits us at our holiday home?
You can expect an idyllic accommodation surrounded by nature – right next to the forest and just steps away from a large adventure playground. The beach is only about a 5-minute walk away, guaranteeing a true holiday feeling.

Each family enjoys their own room with plenty of privacy. A cozy terrace and a lovely outdoor area with a playground invite guests to relax and play. The rooms and modern bathrooms offer comfortable accommodations. Meals are served in a welcoming dining room.

Is there a program?
The family retreat is organized and run by the staff of the Family Center.
Plenty of play and activity materials for both children and adults are available. Various activities are offered throughout the retreat, allowing participants to choose according to their interests. The focus is on physical activity.

What do I need to do if I want to go along?

• Have your name added to a waiting list at the family's house
• To receive funding, make an appointment at the Family Center to fill out an application for funding and bring all income documents with you to this appointment
• Attend the preparatory meeting (the date will be announced later)
• Payment for the trip is also possible in installments!
