AVIVA is totally different. Eat together at large, sociable tables, get involved in a comprehensive daily programme of activities and entertainments with other guests, take part in more than 100 themed sports days (such as yoga, hiking, mountain biking, marathon training, etc.) and many events (beach party, white night, Oktoberfest, wine festival, etc.). There are guaranteed to be no couples and children at AVIVA, so you can simply chat, make friends, dance, party and relax - or simply have some time to yourself.  AVIVA is a relaxed, informal club holiday at 1,000 metres above sea level that retains superior four star standards, offering a 2,000-plus m2 spa with captivating views of the Alps, where you can dine in company, party in the hotel’s disco and field, brew beer in the Brau Boutique, relax in traditional comfort in the hotel’s mountain meadow, chill out in the magical location, pamper yourself with massage and beauty treatments, or simply enjoy some “me” time.

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.

Lots of heart, plenty of variety and an extra portion of freedom - all in an environment that promises pure relaxation. Whether you come to us with family, friends or alone, the Böglerhof is a place to feel good, to take a deep breath and simply to be. In addition to a breathtaking natural backdrop, we offer you our new pure nature.spa, which pampers body and soul: from soothing massages and relaxing sauna sessions to a swimming lake with mountain views. Our spacious gardens invite you to let go of the daily grind and surrender to the moment.
What makes us special? The people, the attitude to life, the nature - we could go on like this for a while. But we want you to experience it for yourself. You'll love it, we promise!

The Brandl family and the ULRICHSHOF team

ULRICHSHOF is quietly located on the edge of the forest on a 64,000 m² hotel area in Zettisch in the nature paradise Bavarian Forest.

Bad Kötzting is 10 km away. The nearest train station is in Furth im Wald, 10 km away.

The Bavarian Forest is known as Europe’s most beautiful low mountain landscape, remarkable natural park in Germany and impressive magic forest in Bavaria. When speaking of the forest itself, it is usually meant the breathtaking cultural landscape in the east of Bavaria on the border to Bohemia. Endless hiking trails in untouched nature and a wide range of leisure and cultural activities in every season have made the Bavarian Forest one of the famous family holiday regions in Germany.

The winter in the Bavarian Forest is like a wonderland of forest and snow. Next to you a snow-covered tree top, above you the bright blue sky and in front of you nothing but limitless snow fun - this is winter holidays in the Bavarian Forest. Whether on the sledge hill behind the Spiel-KISTE or in one of the three nearby ski areas Hohenbogen, Eck-Riedelstein or ArberLand at Großer Arber, fun with the whole family is guaranteed. In the ski areas, perfectly groomed slopes and cosy places to stop await visitors.

Those who want to take it easy can experience pure wellness while strolling through the area. The fresh, clean air and refreshing nature give strength and new vital energy. A wellness or family holiday in the Bavarian Forest is therefore for many an absolute insider tip.

The hotel, newly opened in May 2022, welcomes wine lovers as well as families and business guests. SCHEIBLHOFER THE RESORT offers 118 rooms and suites of various sizes, from the spacious Superior Room to the luxurious Presidential Suite. The 4000m² spa area leaves nothing to be desired for your relaxation.

Enjoyment is a top priority in the in-house restaurant "INFINITY". Mainly products from Burgenland are used, with which regional and international dishes are reinterpreted. The culinary offer is rounded off with an excellent selection of wines, with the walk-in vinotheque being a special highlight.

Our pool landscape is generously designed on different levels with the wellness pool, the brine pool, the sports pool for swimming lengthways and especially our nude pool on the roof terrace. In our 7 different saunas you can enjoy the view of the vineyards with a wonderful panoramic view.
The health weeks with pur-life are a highlight with courses on back fitness, fascia and bellicon®. We offer tours with racing bikes and mountain bikes all year round. Hike with the Lindenhof hiking guides or train with trained fitness trainers in the Fit & Fun House. Our yoga teacher offers gentle relaxation techniques and yoga units.
Culinary moments in Naturno: you will be enchanted by the great wines and regional delicacies. Every week there is an evening wine tasting with South Tyrolean wine producers in the shelter as well as various wine tastings with the sommelier in the DolceVita Resort Lindenhof. The wine rally inspires with three Vinschgau vintners and a product tasting in the organic farm shop. Our chefs use high quality and sustainably produced ingredients from the region.
In the Lindenhof Lifestyle DolceVita Resort, 70 rooms and suites await you, including some with sleeping in the open air, with modern and elegant furnishings, especially made from local larch.

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.

Just consciously let go
Take time for yourself, whether alone or in good company, at the Moselschlösschen Spa & Resort you will find the ideal place where wellness and enjoyment are in perfect harmony.
