A special feature this year:
The week together takes place against the background of three anniversaries –
50 years of BENEN-DIKEN-HOF … 200 years of Teehaus Ronnefeldt® …
100 years of nature reserve Sylt-Nord.
We’ll start the week together in a relaxed atmosphere on Sunday evening in our RESTAURANT KÖKKEN – with a fish menu, just like the Frisians love. After the first night, which can be a bit shorter after a visit to our bar, we start on Monday after a hearty breakfast for a tour of our bar together
beautiful captain’s village of Keitum.
The trip to the nearby mainland is always one of the highlights of this week. On Tuesday we visit the art museum in Tønder.
Then on Wednesday we’ll take it easy with a reading in the fireplace room – literary and culinary. As part of a tea hour with selected teas from the Teehaus Ronnefeldt®, which is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year.
The evening is at leisure.
If you want, you can take part in the traditional Wednesday church concert in our St. Severin church in Keitum. We are happy to get the tickets in advance.
On Thursday we start by bus to explore our island of Sylt together. The focus of the excursion this year is nature in the north of the island – the nature reserve Sylt-Nord is 100 years old.
In the evening, the culinary highlight of the week together takes place – we enjoy a 5-course TEA MENU on the occasion of the joint anniversaries of 50 years of BENEN-DIKEN-HOF and 200 years of Ronnefeldt
On Friday morning we end the week with an Irish breakfast.
I am looking forward to a very special week with interesting encounters, many conversations and new experiences that will be remembered for a long time.
