Fantastic views over the heights
of the Sauerland deep into the Siegerland
Cosy warmth inside the chalet
The dreamlike location with views over the heights of the Sauerland and far into the Siegerland defined the floor plan of the chalet as if by itself. In addition to the striking façade made of pre-weathered silver fir, a great deal of glass was used.
After the Tiefenthal couple had completely renovated a 110-year-old city villa nine years ago, they began to yearn for a weekend home in a rural location. They looked for a suitable property in Winterberg. Winterberg offers extremely high recreational value at any time of year and has the largest ski area in Germany north of the Main line.
After the couple were successful in a bidding process with many other interested parties, they were delighted and got straight down to planning.
«The fantastic location of the property almost dictated the floor plan,» explains Timo Tiefenthal, «with a panorama from east to south to west with views over the heights of the Sauerland and far into Siegerland, it was clear to us that, in addition to the striking façade made of pre-weathered silver fir, a lot of glass had to be used.»
With their ideas and sketches, they went in search of a timber construction company in the nearby Sauerland region. They found what they were looking for in neighbouring Olsberg at the company Wiese & Heckmann.
«As I've grown up with a stove since I was a child, it was clear to us that a stove had to provide cosy warmth in our chalet too. After all, what could be nicer than warming up by the fire after a snowy day of skiing or hiking?»
«In our search for a simple, modern yet classic wood stove, we came across the VIVA 120 L at Ofen-Galerie Stefan Grams in Düsseldorf and decided in favour of it after a very short time,» explains Timo Tiefenthal, «We chose the orientation of the stove so that you can enjoy the fire from every corner of the open-plan cooking, dining and living area.»
As the chalet is also available to holiday guests and should therefore be child's play to operate, the owners opted for a stove with CleverAIR™ combustion technology.
The chalet with wood stove can be booked directly via the Panoramachalet Winterberg website. Mr and Mrs Tiefenthal look forward to welcoming many guests and meeting new people. And when the chalet is not rented out, the couple enjoy cosy moments in the chalet by a wood-burning stove fire.
