An established hotel: the Riedlberg has been owned by the Graßl and Mühlbauer families since 1912 and has been carefully expanded from a small mountain inn to a 4-star superior wellness hotel, yet has remained manageable with 58 rooms and suites.
The secluded location in the middle of a large forest estate guarantees heavenly tranquillity and pure, clean air. The unspoiled landscape invites you to take long hikes in the pristine landscape of the Bavarian Forest as soon as you arrive. Since 2020, our guests have also been able to rent e-mountain bikes or an e-car for excursions directly on site.
Our feel-good dreamland covers 5000 square meters with indoor pool (31°) and whirlpool (36°), year-round infinity pool (31°), as well as year-round brine pool (36°). A spacious garden area with various retreats is available to every guest. The modern and comfortably furnished SPA landscape extends over two levels:
Sauna with light therapy, modern Swiss stone pine sauna, large Finnish panorama sauna, 2 steam baths, infrared cabin for 4 people, salt gallery and flower bath as well as 6 different relaxation areas offer every guest their personal favorite spot.
Choose from our wide range of massages and cosmetics with products from the brands BABOR, Gertraud Gruber, Kurland and PINO and enjoy our varied activity program with Nordic walking, Qi Gong, gymnastics and much more.
Our winter guests are in for a special treat: you can use the hotel's own ski lift and toboggan run right outside the front door free of charge when the snow conditions are right - ski school and ski rental are located right on the slope.

In the morning the sun rises over the peaks, in the evening the lights sparkle in the valley. In this absolute top location on a sun-drenched south-facing slope above Burgeis, every corner of DAS GERSTL Alpine Retreat opens up views that you will never forget, just like the warm, down-to-earth hospitality of the owner family Gerstl.

At 1,500 meters above sea level, guests can enjoy pleasant temperatures even in the warmer months, while relaxing in the open air on box seats by the 18-meter-long, year-round heated infinity pool, on cosy day beds or in the outdoor whirlpool in the sauna garden. Relax, read a good book, take a dip in one of the pools, let your gaze and thoughts wander - all of this is possible at Hotel Gerstl.

The exclusive suites also invite you to do nothing. The new 60 square meter pool suite with a private infinity pool and whirlpool, a large veranda and its own garden for undisturbed togetherness is certainly a special experience. The pleasant vacation feeling of lightness and light-heartedness spreads at the latest during a floating aperitif in the cool water.

If you do want to leave the retreat, there are hikes to nearby Switzerland, mountain bike trails, irrigation canals along historic irrigation channels or a visit to the smallest town in the Southern Alps: the medieval town of Glurns. The Gerstl team also offers daily guided excursions, from guided e-bike tours to joint forest bathing.

After a day full of activities and fresh mountain air, the evening ends with a delicious, multi-course meal. For all their innovative spirit, the Gerstl family relies on tried and tested dishes: the hotel's regionally oriented cuisine, which sources its products from the surrounding area to support the farmers in the valley and protect the environment with short transportation routes, is already a tradition. Once a week on r30 Day, all ingredients even come from within a radius of no more than thirty kilometers - this is when the creativity of head chef Michael Ziernheld and his team is particularly in demand. It is clear how much everyone is behind this concept. When the first elderflowers can be harvested in early summer, for example, fresh blossoms from many of the employees' gardens are brought to the hotel for processing. Fruit, herbs and berries are also grown locally by the GERSTL Unique team. If you would like to take a look behind the scenes of the Gerstl's gourmet workshop, you can do so at the weekly kitchen party. Here, culinary delights are celebrated in a special way and guests are invited to watch the chefs prepare dinner and collect the delicacies from the kitchen in person. If that's not enough, book an exclusive evening at Gerstl's Chef's Table in the middle of the action in the hotel kitchen.

The extent to which the family is rooted in the region is illustrated not only by the r30 philosophy in the food, but also by its continuation in other areas: Building materials are sourced locally wherever possible and are processed by local craftspeople, the cosmetic products are made from regional ingredients and even the staff almost all come from within a radius of just 30 kilometers.

The Impulshotel is an exciting journey of discovery from check-in to the journey home. Many surprises around every corner, your own bucket list, a 10 smiley challenge with 10 small selfness tasks and rewards in the HAPPYMAKER, a varied sports program, culinary courses and many other impulses will inspire you to explore the beautiful world outside your comfort zone.

Between your activities, you can relax in the breathtaking SKY spa with SKY pool at a height of 36 m, various saunas, steam bath, infrared cabin, ice fountain and vitality corner with a magnificent view of the hills. The hotel is located in the heart of the historic cultural and brewing town of Freistadt and is surrounded by a 9,000 m2 wellness garden with swimming pond, outdoor pool, garden sauna and outdoor whirlpool.

Our predominantly vegetarian evening menu on food sharing plates for 2 people is also unique - 3 different starters, main courses and a delicious dessert plate await you. If you prefer meat, you can of course also enjoy it with us. In the SKY restaurant at a height of 40 m, you can also enjoy our vital breakfast buffet and afternoon snack.
