Deep in Thuringia, picturesquely situated between Langula, Niederdorla and Großengottern, you will find the Seehausen dam. At the end of the 1970s, the Singelbach was dammed in order to provide water for irrigation in the vegetable fields in the Unstrut region. The area around the dam is protected as a landscape conservation area.

Palumpa-Land was born in 2008. The site was born out of the idea of creating a place that invites you to pause and feel good. Many beautiful materials, shapes and colors were chosen for this. The landscape is harmoniously integrated into nature. Palumpa-Land is located on a 110 hectare lake directly on the Hainich National Park. A very beautiful sandy beach, a great beach bar, party accommodation and group accommodation invite you to linger. There are parking spaces directly on the site (paved), but also in the spacious outdoor area.
