Jerrishoe: Hotels and Accommodation

The nature conservation project in Jerrishoe comprises 25 tree islands, each measuring approximately 20 × 20 meters. Between the tree and shrub islands, pastureland is preserved. The combination of trees, shrubs and open spaces creates both sunny, sheltered spots and cooler shaded areas. The project aims to promote native flowering plants and provide food for wild bees, butterflies, hoverflies and bumblebees.

History

Jerrishoe’s roots date back to 1196. The place name is explained as a combination of the personal name Jerrik and “hoe” for hill. A local interpretation also links the name to the extraction of iron from bog ore, which was practised in the region for centuries.

Agriculture

The Neue Erde farm in Jerrishoe sells grain and potatoes mainly through its farm shop. It offers fruit, vegetables, potatoes, baked goods, eggs, spices and animal feed. The farm’s bakery produces bread, bread rolls and other baked goods three times a week.

Getting Around

The 43 kilometre-long Große Binnenlandtour route passes through Jerrishoe. It crosses a wide landscape characterised by a dense network of hedgerows and small villages. Most sections run along lightly trafficked roads and agricultural tracks.

In the surrounding area, canoeing on the Treene is possible during the summer half of the year, departing from the Langstedt launch site. A nearby Treene round tour follows extensive forests, meadows, fields and the Treene.
