Hi, we are Nancy und Mario
– The founders & builders of Lev naturanda, your family retreat with a special ambience in Mensträsk, a forgotten village with a once impressive Guinness Book history.
As former campers, we wanted to create a place that touches hearts, offers space to be completely with oneself, to dream, breathe deeply and enjoy.
We dreamed of a place that would bring people closer together—in a relaxed, free, and unpretentious way. A place that fosters community and unites cultures.
What we’ve seemingly created is more than that:
Nicole and her family visited us in early 2026. Together, they traveled through Europe and around the world, documenting their experiences on their adventure blog, DONVENTURE.de.
Besides children’s books, Nicole also writes travel guides for explorers of all ages. Her latest work, “To the North,” allows readers to experience and empathize with her adventures. As she herself says, it’s a hidden gem for year-round inspiration, offering a glimpse into real life “on the road,” including mishaps, unpredictable weather, and moments of pure joy—perfect for anyone who loves the North, wants to rediscover it, or is looking to experience it for the very first time. We highly recommend it.

What guests say about Lev naturanda:
An unforgettable and beautiful event full of joie de vivre and special moments
What began as an experiment in 2025 has become a major attraction and is now an integral part of our community. Our Midommar event was fully booked again in 2026, and even day visitors from the surrounding area came to enjoy our wonderful festival.
A sense of community among complete strangers, tourists and locals at one table, inspiring conversations, exciting stories and a wonderful atmosphere made this event something very special.
Many thanks to everyone who participated and enriched this event with their warmth and openness. We are already looking forward to Midsummer 2027.
