The World House is not just a guest house.
It truly is a special place - one with an eye on a sustainable future. Relying on an innovative energy system, we produce our own electricity and are committed to protecting the environment.
The World House is situated just outside the village of Wetten.

is surrounded by a large scenic garden and offers free WiFi throughout. World House Wetten is at 5-minute drive from the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer and 20 min from Weeze Airport.

Each room offers views of the surrounding gardens and countryside.
Here you can enjoy a green environment with fresh air, healthy organic food from our garden and a lot of other delights such as our tea house or meditation room, all the way knowing that you too are environmentally friendly.

Our Garden
We are extremely proud of our garden.
Our approx. 3000 m2 meadow orchard has been redesigned to enhance the native biodiversity and to maintain this species-rich cultural landscape by creating wild bee nesting support, dead wood areas, stork nests and flowering areas for butterflies and wild bees.
​
Here are some links to videos and posts.
​
​
​
The information boards in the garden, each with their QR-codes, provide further details to the guests and visitors.
​
Furthermore we participate in the German contest "Wir tun was für Bienen" (We do something for the bees)
​
Claudia Blauert implemented this great project in our garden in collaboration with several German environmental organisations, including NABU Kreis Kleve e.V., Netzwerk Blühende Landschaft and the LEADER- Region Leistende Landschaft e.V.
​
Thank you very much to all the people who contributed to realization of this wonderful project.
