The Horse Lake Ranch saloon with its windmill, donkeys and sheep by the Horse Lake

Neuendorf on the Saaler Bodden · Baltic Sea

A Wild West holiday on the Baltic coast

A western ranch with an original Texas saloon, ranch houses, a covered wagon and a tipi – just 250 metres from the lagoon.

Howdy and welcome!

Horse Lake Ranch is a holiday resort built as a western ranch – complete with an original Texas saloon – in Neuendorf on the Saaler Bodden lagoon. The bathing spot and the marina are only 250 metres away, and the Baltic Sea beaches are a short drive.

On the ranch you'll find three western-style log houses, a Texas Lodge, a covered wagon, a large tipi and a small tent and caravan site; above the saloon there are two guest rooms. On the shore of the Horse Lake there is a large, rustic campfire and BBQ area, and Texas Longhorns, ponies, donkeys, goats and sheep live in the pasture.

Inside the saloon: Texas-style tables, pool table and wood stove

The saloon

Our original Texas saloon seats up to 40 guests – plus the front porch and the wide ranch grounds.

Every Tuesday there's line dancing from 7 to 9 pm, in summer in front of the saloon. Beginners are just as welcome as old hands.

On Wednesday evenings in high season we serve the American BBQ buffet – booking is essential.

Impressions

On the Saaler Bodden

Neuendorf lies on the southern lagoon shore of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula. The bathing spot and harbour are within walking distance, the Darß a few minutes' drive away.

In spring and autumn thousands of cranes rest in the shallow lagoon waters and on the fields – and even in winter the Baltic coast is well worth a trip.
