A little piece of Germany.
Your favorite little spot.

Your piece of Germany is in Bavaria

Green before my eyes.
Everyday life on pause.

A gift that’s full of fresh air. And a good reason to treat yourself to more time outdoors again.

Your property is located in Bavaria, on the outskirts of Welden, west of Augsburg. Here in Holzwinkel, clearings, trees, and the landscape of the western forests come together. It’s a beautiful spot for anyone looking to clear their head.

Bring your favorite people, a good book, or just yourself. You don't have to get anything done here. Just sitting out in nature for a bit and thinking, "Someone gave this to me," is already a pretty nice plan.

There's a nice thought there

"This is for you."
And it leaves you with a good feeling.

Some gifts sit on a shelf. This one lures you outside.

Whether it's a birthday, a token of love, or just because: Someone wanted to give you something special—a little place that makes you smile. Even if you'll have to wait a little while before your next visit.

Maybe you'll send a photo back: "Look—that's where I want to go. Thanks for that lovely thought."

And maybe that gift will turn into an outing together—with fresh forest air, a snack, and a story you'll love to tell for a long time to come.

A gift. A land of opportunity.

A little break.
A great love of discovery.

Today, fresh forest air. Tomorrow, a stroll through town. And in between, a coffee that can take as long as it takes.

Germany has many great things to offer: vibrant cities, charming little towns, lakes, mountains, and coastlines. Sometimes “Moin,” sometimes “Servus”—and almost everywhere, a good reason to stay a little longer.

Your personal starting point is in the south, in Holzwinkel near Augsburg. Here, you can visit your plot of land and enjoy nature. Berlin, Cologne, and Hamburg are some ideas for a longer trip through Germany.

Maybe it all starts with “That’s where I want to go.” And ends with “Thank you for this special gift.”

Small plans. Beautiful stories.

Out today.
The rest can wait.

You don't need a big plan. A little time, something tasty, and a desire to be outdoors are all you need.

01

Picnic in Your Corner of Germany

Pretzels, your favorite snacks, a picnic blanket. Find a nice spot when you get there and make it a relaxing day. Let your calendar see some woods for a change today.

The Water Castle and Canals in Hamburg's Speicherstadt
Hamburg · Speicherstadt & Harbor Air

Hamburg. Hi, wanderlust.

Approx. 565 km as the crow flies from the property

Brick buildings, bridges, and water between the houses: The Speicherstadt is a great way to start your day in Hamburg. Afterward, take in the harbor air and look for a fish sandwich. The northern part of the city can easily be a separate leg of your trip.

Fresh Pretzels

Pretzels. They're always a good choice.

For a picnic, as a snack on the go, or with a serving of Obatzda: A pretzel is a pretty great travel companion. Add your favorite drink and a nice spot in the great outdoors, and you’ve got yourself a little Bavarian break.

Currywurst. With fries, please.

Beer Garden with a Time Buffer

A table in the shade, nice people, and a relaxing break. Even with apple spritzer, you can really get a taste of the Bavarian way of life.

From currywurst to fish sandwiches

Try a currywurst in Berlin, grab a fish sandwich in Hamburg. A short break for a meal is also a great way to get to know a country.

Your Little Outdoor Menu

Bring a blanket, water, and something tasty. Pack up the wrappers. The memories will come along anyway.

Good questions. Relaxed answers.

More excitement.
Fewer question marks.

A Landgeschenk is meant to bring joy. Here, we’ll explain what you’ll receive, who will take care of things, and what to expect when you arrive.

Your gift. No endless cycle of expenses.

One-time payment. No ongoing property costs. Managed by HappyLandGifts.

And for your visit? Pack your backpack, check the weather, and leave nature just as beautiful as you found it.

Will I have to pay any additional costs later on?

No. Pay once, enjoy it for a long time: There are no ongoing property costs or annual payments for your land gift. We also cover the property tax. Of course, you’ll be responsible for your own travel expenses and gear.

Do I have to deal with taxes, administrative matters, or government agencies?

No—we'll handle all the paperwork for the property. HappyLandGifts remains the owner and takes care of management as well as all legal and regulatory obligations associated with ownership. You can focus on looking forward to it.

What actually belongs to me—and what am I allowed to use?

Your personal share is assigned to you. You are granted the right to enter and use the entire property. Ownership of the property remains with HappyLandGifts; the land gift does not make you the owner. Your land gift therefore grants you rights to the land without imposing the obligations of ownership on you.

Are my rights to the land limited in time?

Your rights to the land are valid indefinitely. So your piece of Germany has no built-in expiration date.

What am I allowed to do there?

Have a picnic, read, relax, and spend the night in a tent. Nature stays just as it is: no buildings, no tree cutting, no planting, and no open campfires. Take your trash with you when you leave. And your memories, too.

Is the property a public park?

No. The property is private and reserved for use by HappyLandGifts landowners.

Can I transfer ownership of my land or pass it on as an inheritance?

That's not possible at this time. We're working on a solution for the transfer.

Where exactly is my part of Germany?

Near Welden in Holzwinkel, west of Augsburg. Above, you’ll find a map, a site plan, and coordinates. Click on “Plan Route,” enter your starting point—your GPS will take care of the rest. You choose the soundtrack.

Can I stay overnight on the property?

Yes, a night in a tent is part of the HappyLandGifts package. Bring your sleeping gear and everything else you’ll need for the outdoors. Check the weather and any current local advisories before your trip. With a little luck, the starry sky will provide the evening’s entertainment.

Are all 4,620 m² of this land mine personal property?

The 4,620 m² is the total area of the property. You can find the size of your personal share on your deed or in your offer. The cadastral map shows the entire parcel; individual land grants are not marked separately on it.

What should I pack in my backpack?

Water, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, and season-appropriate clothing. If you're spending the night outdoors, be sure to bring suitable sleeping gear. Snacks are also a pretty good idea. Check the weather one more time before you leave.

What is the purpose of the land registry—and how do I register?

Once you register using your name and email address, your land ownership will be activated and documented. Have your deed ready, open the registration form, and enter the information—and just like that, your piece of Germany will have its place in our land registry.
