About this spot
Where are we? In the Steigerwald Nature Park, in the heart of Franconia, roughly between Würzburg, Bamberg and Nuremberg. Your bubble tent stands in Oberscheinfeld, in the southern Steigerwald, where the air smells of forest and wide views rather than the big city. The bubble stands privately on a small hill, and from bed you not only look up at the stars through the telescope, but also down into the wildly romantic valleys.
No bedroom could hold more view.
All around are gentle hills, dense forests and clear streams – and nothing else to distract you. No hotel complex blocking the view, no campers suddenly pitching up next to you – here, you have the place to yourselves.
If you'd like more on the agenda for your short break in Bavaria, you can do a lap or two on the Steigerwald treetop walk or take a trip to Iphofen for a wine hike. In theory, the latter also works without the hiking, sitting down – you're on holiday, after all.
There's no shower at this location, but luckily it's just the two of you. Still fancy a little more wellness and freshness? Then we warmly recommend a visit to the Franken-Therme Bad Windsheim, with its salt lake and sauna area.

Habe den Aufenthalt sehr genossen, die Heizdecke hat gute Dienste geleistet und deshalb war es auch Ende Oktober und bei regnerischem Wetter kuschelig. Gefrühstückt haben wir beim Bäcker in Geiselwind, das war sehr…

Frequent questions
Everything you need to know about booking and payment. Still stuck? Just message our friendly team in the chat.
There's no shower at Steigerwald. You'll find the composting toilet just a few steps from the bubble tent.
Food isn't included. Bring whatever you like – and don't forget drinking water.
Bubble Tent Steigerwald has one double bed. There are no other sleeping options. You're welcome to bring a child, as long as the double bed is big enough.
We ask you to treat nature, the facilities and the neighbours with consideration, so that all guests can have a pleasant experience.
For safety reasons, open fire isn't allowed inside the bubble. If you have any questions about permitted fire pits, please contact your host on site directly.
That depends on the location. In the search, you can select the "Dogs welcome" filter. The listing will also give you more information – for example, that dogs are usually only allowed in the airlock chamber and that you'll need to bring a dog basket.
For cancellations up to 21 days before arrival, 85% of the booking amount will be refunded; the remaining 15% is retained as a service & transaction fee. For cancellations up to 7 days before arrival, 50% of the booking amount will be refunded. For cancellations up to 3 days before arrival, 20% of the booking amount will be refunded. Unfortunately, no refund is possible for cancellations after that. You can easily cancel yourself under “My booking”. The refund is made automatically to the original payment method. If you paid with a voucher, that portion will be credited back to your voucher.
Bookings can be rescheduled free of charge for the same location up to 10 days before arrival. Depending on the dates you choose, you may need to pay the difference or receive a refund. You can easily reschedule yourself under “My booking”.
No, unfortunately that isn't technically possible. The refund is made automatically to the original payment method. If you paid for your booking fully or partly with a voucher, that portion will be credited back to your voucher.
Our regular cancellation terms also apply in the event of illness. Unfortunately, this means a short-notice cancellation free of charge isn't possible, even if you can't travel due to illness.
We therefore recommend taking out travel cancellation insurance when you book, which also covers illness. That way, you're financially protected just in case.
The bubbles are built to be weatherproof, so rain won't spoil your nature experience. Thanks to the transparent roof, you can look outside from the comfort of your bed, even when it's raining.
The temperature inside generally follows the temperature outside. Depending on the location, electric blankets or additional heating are available, so you can stay cosy on cooler days. On warmer days, some locations also have a fan.
Please note that even on warm days, it can cool down considerably at night. On hot days, we therefore recommend enjoying the late afternoon and early evening outside first and only heading into the bubble tent in the evening. That way, you'll make your stay especially pleasant.
We recommend dressing for the season and, in cooler temperatures, bringing extra warm clothing and blankets, as this is a nature experience.
