Raus

Raus is officially a “Threenager” 🎂 That’s right, Raus is turning three years old today and we’re feeling all kinds of emotions – mostly excitement, gratitude, and maaaybe a little craving for birthday cake! Since day one, our mission has been clear: to inspire and empower people to reconnect with nature – not just by bringing them close, but by immersing them fully in it. We believe that getaways are an opportunity to be mindful of what matters in life. We want our guests to be present in the here and now and to be able to consciously focus their attention on the things that are important to them, without much effort or preparation. And what an incredible journey it’s been! We’ve: 🌿 Expanded from our first cabin near Berlin to over 70 across Germany and Austria 🌳 Opened our Lodge Landsitz & Lodge am See for fellow nature lovers to experience the outdoors together 🫕 Curated delicious breakfasts, lunch, and dinner packages for that special “mmmmhhh”  🐑 Shared heartwarming moments with sheep, horses, cows, dogs, cats and even alpacas 🤝 Grown a community of adventure seekers, nature huggers, and trailblazers As we blow out the candles today, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to YOU – our amazing guests, partners, and friends. We couldn’t have done it without you and we look forward to the adventures ahead, staying committed to our mission, and helping more people discover the joy of the outdoors. To celebrate and share the joy you’ve brought us, we’ve prepared a special birthday gift! Starting today, October 18th, every 5th booking made within the next 48 hours using our non-refundable rate will get their stay for FREE! Thank you for being part of the Raus family – here’s to many more adventures together!

Whether it’s Pumpkin Spice Latte or Oasis, the best things always find their way back – just like our Raus merch, now fully restocked! 👕🧢✨ Our hoodie, t-shirt, cap, weekender bag and tote have achieved cult status for a reason: Whether dialling into a Zoom call or enjoying a crisp autumn stroll, it strikes the perfect balance between cosy and professional. Not only does our merch feel as amazing lounging on your couch as it does exploring the outdoors in our cabins, it also happens to make the perfect gift (yes, this is your friendly reminder that Christmas is almost around the corner, and let’s not forget all those October birthdays either!) Whether it’s for your special someone or one of those hard-to-shop-for friends, we have you covered. If you love being "in the green" as much as we do, take it literally: https://lnkd.in/d5kBkx2x

✨ We’re renting out a room in our freshly moved-in spacious & bright Mitte office and looking for some awesome co-workers to join us! If you’re up for filling our big kitchen with delicious cakes (in exchange, we offer an espresso machine with tasty specialty coffee aaaand matcha, of course ), we’d love to meet you! 🍰☕️ Bonus: You’ll be joining a team that’s all about nature immersion (and we’re eager to prove that doesn’t necessarily mean tree-hugging during lunch breaks). Sound like your kind of place? Get in touch via hello@raus.life!

Big news: Our beloved Lodge am See is officially 1 year old! 🎂 This isn’t just any anniversary – it’s a HUGE one for us, as it's our biggest project to date. It took a lot of hands-on work (and more sweat than we’re proud to admit) to bring this magical lakeside haven to life! From sowing grass to polishing every inch around our cabins, everyone of our team went all in; including a few joy rides on the buggy for good measure! We started with eight cosy cabins, a wellness area with a sauna and hot tub with a perfect lake view, a fireplace for those "let's tell ghost stories" moments, and a community tent for gathering around. One year later, we’re at fourteen cabins, making Lodge am See the perfect destination for quality time with family, all your friends, and even those fellow nature enthusiasts you met who are now your new favourite hiking buddies. A big shoutout to our all-star crew on-site Britta, Sabine and Felix for your endless dedication and going above and beyond. And we can’t forget the local partners behind our bookable extras, providing our guests with fresh bread rolls, delicious breakfast, grill boxes, pottery classes and fluffy alpaca hikes. Above all, we want to say thank you to our wonderful guests – for filling Lodge am See with life by sharing your laughter, memories, and joy with us. So far, 978 of you have stayed with us – yes, we counted – and we can’t wait for the many more memories (and magical sunsets) to come. Thank you for making our first year unforgettable. Here’s to many more evenings by the fire, morning dips in the lake, and all the good vibes this place is known for!

After cabins in the mountains ⛰️, cabins on alpaca farms 🦙 and cabins by the lake 🥽 comes – cabins by the sea 🌊! 📍Ahornhof is our first location with two cabins reaaally close to the Baltic Sea! Just a mini bike ride away from a kilometre long beach (and that crunchy fish sandwich), we could not be more excited about this dream destination come true! And as autumn finally approaches, so does the perfect time to plan that seaside escape you’ve been contemplating about! As summer fades, so do the crowds, leaving behind peaceful beaches and coastal towns. If you crave some time away from the hustle and bustle of your day-to-day life, the serene, uncrowded coastlines are the place to be now. The brilliant oranges, reds, and golds of the changing leaves set against the deep blue of the water will (quite literally) appeal like a sea full of stunning shades and contrasts for your eyes to soak in. And because autumn weather can be a bit dramatic at times, watching a storm roll over the sea – the waves crashing against the cliffs, the salty wind in your hair – snuggling up afterwards in your cabin (or shall we say, your very own big strandkorb) with a hot mug of cocoa will feel even cosier. Grab your favourite colourful scarf for your perfect autumn getaway close to the sea: https://lnkd.in/d_rhxNYZ

We’ve been around in Austria for a while now, but our latest launch is truly the chocolate glaze on our Sachertorte:📍Almwiese, which we lovingly call our most Austrian location yet, boasting not just one but two stunning cabins! You might be wondering: What makes it so unmistakably Austrian? Well, picture views of rolling green meadows, quaint alpine villages, and towering mountains, all set against a backdrop of dense, dark forests, with the gentle sound of cowbells echoing through the crisp, clean air. Gazing over this landscape will make you feel wonderfully small, as if time has slowed down just for you to keep looking. For those precious moments, you don’t have to think about emails or laundry. While feeling nothing but zen, Mother Nature whispers to you, “Hey, take a break and enjoy the scenery – I’ve worked really hard on this.” And that outlook is getting even sweeter: We’re offering you 15% off your stay in September using the code SUMMERZEN – and to help you truly unwind, we’re throwing in our meditation bundle for free! Pick your favourite Austrian view here: https://lnkd.in/e4HSyaAi

Does the term “farm holiday” paint a picture in your mind? 🐥 Maybe you instantly think of “Bullerbü” or “Süderhof”: childhood shows that brought the charm of farm life into our homes, making us dream of waking up to golden fields at sunrise. Even more so, they tickled our longing for those bespoke “farm holidays”: a somewhat 90s phenomenon where many farms turned into tourism, sharing the beauty and simplicity of rural life with city dwellers and their children. Sleeping in the hayloft on a golden, crackling soft carpet, being woken in the early morning by the crowing of a rooster, stroking chicks and romping around with the farm's horses and dogs, maybe even driving a tractor – the idyllic vision of farm holidays back then was playful, perhaps a bit romantic, promised some adventure and a welcome getaway from the concrete jungle. Like the original idea behind farm holidays, our concept at Raus today is designed to be in harmony with the environment. Hand in hand with our dedicated partners – more than 30 land and forestry farmers who operate our cabins with us – we offer our guests a behind-the-scenes look into farming: What does agriculture look like in 2024? What is permaculture, and how does community-supported agriculture work? How much work goes into running a farm shop, and when is which grain harvested? Our hosts make their farms, meadows, fields, and gardens accessible, sharing values, products, and nature with our guests, and perhaps even a tractor ride if you ask them! For your modern "farm holiday" with Raus, this means you can delve into a variety of extras and activities to add to your stay: a delicious breakfast basket or meal kit made with farm-fresh ingredients waiting for you upon arrival at your cabin, a farm visit or walk through the herb garden, an alpaca hike, and more. Or you visit the nearby pastures with various fluffy neighbors, watch as the fields around you are harvested or the yellow rapeseed dance in the wind. And if your childhood self now eagerly wants to pet a pony (or one of the newborn alpaca babies at 📍 Wildblumenwiese), here is an overview of all our cabins close to a farm: https://lnkd.in/dMsP63Cz

Grab the sparklers! 🎇 Yep, you heard right – especially if you’re the type of person who likes to do a bit of planning ahead when it comes to special occasions (or life in general). But even if long-term scheduling isn’t really your thing, and you’re more about mastering the art of being present the Eckhart-Tolle-way, this is your chance to at least pick the time and place to savor every moment with full awareness and without distractions: We’ve just opened our booking calendar up until spring 2025! So, choose your bridging days wisely or surprise your friends and family with the ultimate New Year’s Eve masterplan (which might include ice bathing at our📍Lodge am See, an alpaca hike with snow-white furry friends at📍Alpakaweide, or an Italian cabin dinner while immersing yourself in the starry night sky at any of our 60 cabins).

At work, we're constantly learning and growing in our fields. But how often do we delve into topics that simply fascinate us – yep, we’re talking about that nerdy knowledge that is purely measured by its fun factor, not by KPIs! With the Perseid meteor shower peaking on the night of August 12th-13th, it's the perfect time to do just that — and perhaps impress someone special in the process who's not your boss! 💫 📖 Did you know? In Ancient Greece, shooting stars were believed to be the tears of the gods, a symbol of divine emotion streaking across the heavens. Many cultures have long held the belief that these meteors can grant wishes — a magical notion that still captures our imaginations today. The trick? Make your wish silently as the shooting star fades, and keep it a secret! 🔭 But here's the real science: what we romantically call "shooting stars" are actually meteors – tiny particles from space, such as rocks or dust, that enter the Earth's atmosphere at high speed and burn up. This particular meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through the debris left behind by the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle (should we name a cabin after it?), resulting in a spectacular display of up to 100 meteors per hour! 🌟 Whilst Stargazing, plan to stay for at least an hour, as shooting stars often appear in bursts. In the meantime, you can explore constellations with our Visit Dark Skies audio experience! And as the Perseid meteors light up the night sky, take a moment to reflect and maybe even make a wish. After all, it's said that wishes made during this meteor shower are more likely to come true!
