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.

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.

The indoor and outdoor relaxation areas invite you to unwind with waterbeds, hammocks and plenty of places to retreat.

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.

Here, right by the lake, surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery of the Steinernes Meer, the warm-hearted host family around Hannes and Martina Riedlsperger have created an exclusive place of indulgence - a place to relax, recharge your batteries and have a really good time.

The Spa am See is located between the two buildings that make up the Wellnesshotel Ritzenhof. The underground wellness oasis opens directly onto the shore of Lake Ritzensee with a private sunbathing lawn. There you can doze in one of the shell and floating loungers with the sound of the reeds in your ears. An indoor pool, Finnish sauna, textile sauna, steam bath, sanarium, infrared cabin and massages or beauty treatments tailored to your individual needs await you in the spa by the lake.

In winter, the cross-country ski trail runs right past the spa and provides access to the region's extensive network of trails. Some people also chase their childhood memories on ice skates on the frozen Ritzensee or simply warm themselves by the flickering fire.

The stylishly furnished rooms and suites are deliberately kept simple; nothing should distract from the essentials. Clear lines and materials replace the sensory overload to which we are exposed in everyday life. The reduction to the essentials helps you to switch off quickly and consciously move in the here and now.

Following our vision of “living nature because nature is what we are”, we offer a platform for authentic, sustainable relaxation with a Forest Spa, Sky pool, and the daily Saltus Relaxation Program with yoga, meditation, forest bathing, Qi-Gong and more.

A place of happiness to recharge your batteries and take a deep breath
In the middle of the historic ensemble of buildings, a feel-good world opens up for all those seeking relaxation and inner balance. In keeping with the landscape and the course of life, where everything is "in flux", the resort is designed to freely trace the flow of the Moselle. The spa concept sees change as an opportunity and aims to help people consciously let go, feel lightness, activate new life energy and open up to positive things. This comprehensive, creative idea runs like a red thread through the rooms and suites.

Wellness in a new dimension
No (wellness) wishes remain unfulfilled in the impressive 2,500 square meter spa area. In the sauna world, a wide variety of saunas from Finnish to organic to infrared ensure well-being. The undisputed highlight of the spa area is our 130 square meter heated infinity pool, which invites you to relax and enjoy the panoramic view of the beautiful Moselle valley. But the special view is also guaranteed in other areas. A relaxation room with hanging chairs and sand play as well as day beds and cozy corners invite you to pause and relax. If you want to cool off, you can enter the icy snow room or use the ice fountain. A Kneipp pool, a yoga room, private and lady spa, wellness packages, beauty treatments, massages and wavebalance® rituals round off the extensive wellness offer.

Culinary highlights
Experience a perfect symbiosis of wellness, relaxation and indulgence in the exclusive restaurant "Zum Schlösschen", the culinary heart of the resort. Local and seasonal ingredients are arranged to create visually appealing culinary delights. Pure, uncomplicated, modern - often with a twist and nuances from distant lands. As the Moselle is considered the most important wine-growing region in Germany, head chef Kristof Nemes compiles the entire menu in close collaboration with hotel manager Marcel Burbach, who is a proven wine connoisseur and lover. If you want to treat yourself to a nightcap in the evening after feasting in a sophisticated atmosphere and with lively conversation, then Betty's Bar is the place for you. Betty Langner, probably the coolest barkeeper on the Moselle, mixes the best drinks with personal finesse.

Close the door and say goodbye to the world!
In the feel-good rooms, you can expect state-of-the-art living comfort behind historic walls. Rooms, maisonettes and suites with plenty of privacy, tranquillity and magnificent views. Virtually none of the 72 hotel rooms here are the same. Always different, always something special.
