🌱 Sustainability Commitment
Sustainability is at the heart of our operations. The property generates a large portion of its own energy and operates CO₂-neutrally. We prioritize regional sourcing, reduce waste through deposit systems, and offer digital alternatives to paper and plastic.

The restaurant is great. When I heard the knocking from the kitchen (while preparing a schnitzel), I immediately knew that you can eat excellently there. Really prepared with a lot of love and no frozen food...

My partner and I had such a lovely stay! We enjoyed bike rides around the lake during the day and dined on delightful food in the evenings. Super clean rooms made it even better!
