About us
At the crossroads of history and innovation
Our accommodation, which can be rented in part or in its entirety for maximum privacy, is a dream destination for every (endurance) athlete. Located in the heart of the Ardennes, it’s the perfect getaway for sports teams such as cycling, triathlon, mountain bike, trail running and running teams.
A dream come true
As the founder of the Innerme Triathlon Team, Dirk Baelus had been organising training trips in the Ardennes and in Spain for many years. These outings were wonderful experiences, yet the accommodations always left something to be desired. Knowing what sports groups need, Dirk saw what was lacking from existing facilities. Most of them have no bicycle storage, no professional kitchen, too many double beds, and so on.
Dirk started looking for a suitable location in the Belgian Ardennes to launch his own project. In 2018, he came upon Ferme De Blier in Erezée. The place ticked all the boxes …
Our mission

Moreover, Tæru lets you soak in the beauty and tranquillity of nature. Silence, relaxation, workouts, and lots of fun: you’re all set for creating unforgettable memories.

Our core values
Back to basics.
Challenge yourself.
Become the best you can be.
A healthy mind in a healthy body.
Dirk Baelus
As a successful triathlete, Dirk saw the effects of natural food first-hand: more energy, a better recovery and less injuries. He wrote a book about his experiences, and in 2012, he launched Innerme, the first brand of sports food in Europe that uses only plant-based and organic ingredients. To share his passion with other sports enthusiasts, Dirk went on to found the Innerme Triathlon Team in 2014. In 2020, he set up a factory so Innerme could produce its own Protein Bars and Energy Bars.
Now, with Tæru, things have come full circle. Enabling like-minded souls to work out in a beautiful setting, to enjoy the peace and quiet afterwards, and to eat delicious and healthy food: what more could anyone wish for?
A place with a story…
The Tæru site used to be called Ferme De Blier. On this farm, Jacques Quirynen raised cows and grew crops. The former owner is still around: he lives further down the street now, and we’ve inspired him to switch to organic farming.
