Getting Around

Take the S1 Albtalbahn electric tram directly to Karlsruhe. This seamless connection is the most efficient way to reach major cities, ideal for business travelers or those exploring the wider region without transfers.

Best Season

Year-round appeal, but spring and autumn offer mild weather perfect for hiking and outdoor thermal experiences. Summer brings lush greenery, while winter is ideal for indulging in indoor spa treatments amidst the cool forest air.

A really cosy place, where you will also eat very well: seasonal Swabian-Baden cuisine, with an emphasis on regional produce; some of the meat comes from the restaurant's own highland cattle. Some dishes are labelled ‘Naturparkwirte’ (nature park hosts). There are good wines to accompany your meal, as well as a special whisky offer. In summer, try and bag a spot on the terrace. Pleasant guestrooms also available.
