Testing of the model house takes place in Bispingen
In the picturesque town of Bispingen, Center Parcs Germany is making strides towards a greener future. The pioneering Center Parcs Bispinger Heide, the first holiday village in Germany, has recently undergone a renovation, costing €33 million, and now features a prestige holiday home to the Kfw40 low-energy standard. This new holiday home serves as a prototype for future realignment across the Center Parcs group.
Employees are given the opportunity to extensively test the new holiday home prototype over the next six months. One of the standout features is the open and flexible furnishings, with a large dining table and spacious terrace, designed to encourage an outdoor lifestyle. The roofing of the new holiday home is intended to allow more time to spend outdoors, further emphasizing this focus.
In a bid to promote nature connection, Dream catchers, nature-related workshops, and activities like dream catcher making are offered at Center Parcs Bispingen. A small retreat area has been set up, lined with tree trunks, for pausing and perceiving nature sounds. Additionally, a ranger, Imke Büsing, designs and leads the paid workshops.
In a move towards climate neutrality, the fireplace has been omitted from the new holiday home due to emissions not aligning with the goal of climate neutrality by 2050. The new holiday home is energy-independent, featuring a heat pump and photovoltaic system, making it a significant step towards sustainability.
Meanwhile, Center Parcs is expanding its horizons with a new development planned in Pütnitz near Ribnitz-Dammgarten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The new Center Parcs by the Baltic Sea is set to be completed by the end of 2027 and will feature 500 holiday homes and 100 apartments, with a total investment of around €220 million.
An observation tower is being built around an old tree, offering barrier-free access via a ramp. A 2.7-kilometer-long trail has been created through the nature reserve at Center Parcs, providing visitors with ample opportunities to explore and connect with nature.
To manage the waste produced by the new holiday park, a wetland area has been created using the overflow for the large artificially created lake. This not only helps in waste management but also contributes to the local ecosystem.
Whether in Bispingen or Pütnitz, Center Parcs continues to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and nature-focused activities. Director Seimer estimates that there is still room for five to six more holiday homes in the existing area in Bispingen, but whether they will follow the prototype remains to be seen. The future of Center Parcs looks promising, with a focus on sustainability, outdoor living, and nature connection.
