THE BREAK ISLAND IN THE PALATINATE FOREST

For over 30 years, the Dr. Manfred Maus family has been running the 4* Superior Hotel PFALZBLICK WALD SPA RESORT with a keen sense for their guests and the treasures of the region. True to the motto "Recreation is celebrating the break", the house started 2019 with extensive innovations and impresses with a 55,000 square meter garden area with adjacent, in-house forest area including a natural bathing pond, outdoor sauna island as well as a new two-story panorama house with year-round heated outdoor infinity pool and extensive relaxation zones. In the garden wing of the resort facility, guests can also look forward to 14 new double rooms "Lindelbrunn", five new spa suites "Römerfels" with private spa and the family spa suite "Römerfels". The resort offers an extensive range of both mental wellness and activity programs, as well as culinary delights from the upscale regional cuisine of the Palatinate and Alsace. Thanks to its location in the middle of the Palatinate Forest and the nearby Northern Vosges Mountains, the resort is an ideal starting point for hiking and biking excursions.



SIMPLY SWITCH OFF IN THE MENTAL WELLNESS OASIS

In the PFALZBLICK WALD SPA RESORT guests enjoy holistic relaxation and mental wellness offers in the spacious spa and vitality world with three different saunas, indoor pool and panoramic whirlpool overlooking the valley of the Dahner Felsenland. In the new panorama house of the PFALZBLICK those looking for relaxation spend deeply relaxed hours with forest feeling on two floors. In the modern relaxation rooms designed in warm colors, wellness fans not only find themselves in the midst of nature with a view of the adjacent Palatinate Forest, but also immerse themselves in a peaceful feel-good atmosphere thanks to the combination of natural materials and design elements. Thus, vacationers relax on comfortable water loungers between ceiling-high, tree-shaped wooden columns, let their gaze wander over the garden paradise from the daybeds and the cozy seating areas, or rest on the large hanging swing. Through automatically opening doors, the path leads to the year-round heated infinity pool, the "Sprudelwoog". At pleasant temperatures, they splash around with an atmospheric play of light and soak up the soothing water pressure of the massage jets.

Sauna fans experience the outdoor sauna island with a Finnish sauna with experience infusions, a steam grotto and bio sauna as well as an ice fountain and experience showers. Between classic full-body massages, trendy detoxing massages and cosmetic treatments in the beauty center, wellness-hungry guests choose their own individual pampering program. Furthermore, fitness courses such as yoga, Pilates and aqua fitness ensure that body and mind are in harmony. A special highlight is the direct access to the 55,000-square-meter garden paradise and the natural bathing pond "Kleiner Wasgau-See," which impresses with a swimming length of 38 meters. The indoor and outdoor relaxation areas invite you to unwind with waterbeds, hammocks and plenty of places to retreat.



SPACE AND LUXURY IN THE NEW ROOMS

The PFALZBLICK WALD SPA RESORT lives its concept of free space in all areas. As of now, more spacious and luxurious rooms await couples and families in the newly expanded garden wing. In addition to the 14 double rooms with 49 square meters, guests enjoy plenty of space in five spa suites, each with 82 square meters, and in a 97-square-meter family spa suite. Like the existing penthouse suites, all are equipped with their own whirlpool on the balcony or covered terrace, as well as their own Finnish sauna, which can also be used as an infrared cabin.



THE HIKING HUB ON YOUR DOORSTEP

Numerous premium themed trails invite active nature lovers to hike, bike and explore the impressive landscape of the Palatinate Forest and Alsace. The premium hiking trail Dahner Felsenpfad or the Dahner Rundwanderweg lead directly across the resort's property. Impressive red sandstone formations and historic castle ruins can be found along the Legend Trail or in the Pfälzerwald-Nordvogesen Nature Park and Biosphere Reserve. Exciting insights into the world of wolves can be gained by animal lovers of all ages on the wolf nature trail. In addition, the hotel organizes its own hiking weeks several times a year, and hiking events on various themes take place all around the premium hiking region.



FAMILY TIME UNDER ONE ROOF!

Spending time together with the whole family away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is valuable and important. At the intergenerational family hotel PFALZBLICK WALD SPA RESORT, every member of the family - from grandchildren to grandparents - will find relaxation and adventure amidst the pristine nature of the Palatinate Forest. Water rats enjoy the natural bathing pond. Little explorers go with grandma, grandpa and Co. on the numerous premium hiking trails directly from the resort grounds, following in the footsteps of the castle ghost and the old legends that entwine themselves around the bizarre rock formations and the numerous castles of the Palatinate Forest Nature Park. Should the Palatinate sun not shine, nearby museums and an ore mine are waiting to be discovered.

ENJOYMENT: CREATIVE CUISINE WITH HANDPICKED INGREDIENTS

In six comfortably modern dining rooms and on the panoramic terrace with an unobstructed view of the Dahn countryside, gourmets at the PFALZBLICK WALD SPA RESORT will enjoy a colorful mix of upscale yet down-to-earth Palatinate cuisine and Alsatian delicacies, such as the top-class cheese selection of Alsatian maître Bernard Antony, who is one of France's leading cheese specialists. At the same time, the hotel's two restaurants lovingly craft regional and fresh ingredients into sophisticated dishes and offer plenty of variety with seasonal menus and an in-house pâtisserie. A variety of dishes is also available for vegetarians, vegans and allergy sufferers. The highlight of the culinary vacation day at the PFALZBLICK WALD SPA RESORT are the varied theme buffets and menus in the evening. The in-house vinotheque rounds off the culinary offer with 170 top wines from the Palatinate and Alsace. At the weekly wine tasting with host Dr. Manfred Maus, wine lovers can sample the fine wines before ending the evening at the cozy hotel bar in the Kamintreff Altdahn.

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.

At the Gräflicher Park Health & Balance Resort, contemporary longevity philosophy, holistic health and active relaxation merge into a unique experience in the heart of one of the most beautiful English landscape parks in Germany.

Embedded in the expanse of the landscaped park, soothing warmth is combined with the power of nature.

High-quality products, precise application techniques and holistic rituals ensure visible results and a deep sense of regeneration. The offer is complemented by tailor-made spa rituals, beauty treatments and regenerative treatments that harmonize body and senses and provide lasting relaxation.

Nature park and landscape experience
The Gräflicher Park is considered one of the most impressive gardens in Europe. Its extensive lawns, historic tree-lined avenues, moorland ponds and themed gardens create an invigorating environment that invites you to relax, be active and enjoy a conscious experience. Whether it's a morning run, forest bathing or a walk along the fountain arcades - the park is the heart and soul of this resort.

Cuisine & vitality
The resort's gastronomy complements the holistic concept with healthy, creative cuisine - seasonal, regional and quality-oriented. In the two restaurants "Caspar's" and "Pferdestall", guests experience a delightful combination of fine cuisine and conscious nutrition: from vital, balanced dishes in the spirit of longevity to classic regional specialties with a modern twist.

Your retreat for regeneration and performance
