Advent Weekends 2025
at Friesensee

Dear Guests,

This year, we would like to make your Advent season at Friesensee extra cozy. Every Advent weekend, a festive program awaits you at Frieseneck and under our beautifully decorated pagoda tents: red and white mulled wine, children’s punch, freshly baked waffles with ice cream, cherries, or Nutella, as well as a selection of delicious soups.

In addition, fire bowls, bread on a stick, Christmas trees, music, and lighting create a festive atmosphere right by the lake. We are open Thursday and Friday from 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday from 12:30 PM to 8:00 PM.

We look forward to spending wonderful hours with you – and of course, all Wittmunder are warmly invited to enjoy the Advent season at Friesensee. As usual, we also accept card payments.

Christmas
at Friesensee

Dear Guests,

Spend the holidays in a relaxed and festive atmosphere with us at Friesensee. On December 24th, Frieseneck will be closed, but we will, of course, be there for you on both Christmas holidays. You can choose from our regular menu and indulge in some culinary delights.

As a small Christmas surprise, the first 100 guests on December 25th and 26th will each receive two glasses of eggnog at Frieseneck. We are very excited to celebrate this special time with you. Please remember: We only accept card payments.

New Year's Eve 2025/2026
at Friesensee

Dear Guests,

At Friesensee, we want to welcome the New Year with you in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. We have prepared a varied program for this occasion:

Until 9:00 PM, you can enjoy a meal at Frieseneck. In addition to our regular dishes, we will also offer two special soups for the evening. After that, various drinks will be available until 12:30 AM – including selected alcoholic specialties.

From 8:00 PM, we invite you to a cozy bonfire with bread on a stick at the boule court. Heaters, fire, and lights will create warmth and atmosphere.

At 11:45 PM, we will meet in front of Frieseneck for a joint toast. Every guest will receive a glass of sparkling wine on the house. At exactly midnight, you can enjoy a small, quiet firework display across the lake. Right after that, there will be a little sweet treat for you – of course, free for our guests.

To start the New Year relaxed, a free late checkout is available for everyone until 12:00 PM. Our reception will open at 10:00 AM, and Frieseneck will open at 4:00 PM.

Please note: We only accept card payments.

We look forward to ringing in the new year with you!

Redesign
of the Dog Beach

It is important to us that our four-legged guests also feel comfortable here.
Therefore, the dog beach will be extensively redesigned starting January 5th, 2025.

Please note that new grass needs to grow first before the dog area can be fully used again.
During this time, usage will be limited.

We kindly ask for your understanding – our goal is to complete the work before the high season, so that the new area will be available in the best possible condition.

Trail
through the Friesenwald

The large loop trail through the Friesenwald is taking shape.
Completion is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2026.

We look forward to offering you a new, nature-oriented walking path at that time.

Construction Work
on the Site

Currently and in the coming months, construction work will take place in several areas – at the Friesenkarree (near parking space 458), in the Harle quarter, and at Sanitary Building II (parking spaces 601–620). There may be occasional noise and dust in these areas. Additionally, construction vehicles may need to drive through the site from time to time. We are making efforts to keep the disruptions to a minimum and thank you for your understanding and consideration.

Important Information
regarding the water supply in winter

Due to recurring frost damage in the past winters, we will be turning off the water at the pitches for the upcoming winter season. From November 1st, 2025 to March 1st, 2026, there will be no running water on the premises. The sanitary building and the private bathrooms will remain supplied with water. Additionally, we will set up special water collection points where you can get water during the winter. This measure helps us avoid high repair costs due to frost damage and ensures the long-term protection of our infrastructure. Thank you for your understanding!

Notice
Loop trail temporarily closed

Due to construction work for the expansion of our campsite, the loop trail will be temporarily closed. We are building a barrier to minimize the noise from the adjacent construction site. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the reception.

Notice
Dog Area

Due to the closure of the loop trail for construction work, the dog area is only partially accessible. To reach the dog area, you will need to walk through the meadow pitches. It is currently not possible to access the dog area via the private bathroom area or Lake Avenue. Please be sure not to step on the wooden planks. These are intended only for older dogs!

Update on Flight Operations
at Wittmundhafen Airport

Our campsite and holiday park is located in the flight path of Wittmundhafen Airport. Since early 2025, test flights have resumed here, and over the course of the year, flight operations have gradually been reintroduced.

In general, landings occur over our premises, while take-offs are in the opposite direction. This means that the afterburner – and thus the loudest noise – is typically not used over our park. As a result, the noise level is usually low and often hardly noticeable.

Nevertheless, occasional flight noise may occur. If you have any questions about flight operations, we are always happy to assist and do everything we can to make your stay as pleasant as possible. If you find the flight noise disturbing, you can get free earplugs at the reception.

New Private Bathrooms with Private Sauna
in progress from March 2025

Starting in March 2025, we will begin expanding area F3 to build new, high-quality private bathrooms. The construction site access will be via the side road outside the Friesensee premises. This is to minimize noise as much as possible. However, it is expected that most of the work will take place during the week at the back section of the area, where the private bathrooms are being constructed. Therefore, dust and noise can be expected in this area. If anything is disturbing you, please let us know – we will be happy to assist. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to presenting our new facilities soon.

New Sauna Area
for up to four people

Starting in the 2026 season, we plan to offer a sauna area not only for our guests with private bathrooms, but also for all other guests staying at regular pitches, lodges, or holiday apartments. To do this, we would like to utilize the narrow piece of land next to the last lake lodge, Störtebecker, to build a sauna area. Although we are still in the planning phase, we aim to equip the sauna with a relaxation area, a shower, a WC, and a sauna with a panoramic window. According to the current planning, up to four people will be able to book the sauna either in the morning or afternoon online. As soon as we have more information on this, we will, of course, let you know!
