Your wellness hotel in Bavarian forest

Its secluded location at 700 meters provides the necessary distance from everyday life. Up here, surrounded by meadows and forests and a few scattered old farms, the clocks go slower. It's as if the good old days are hiding up here. You can forget the hustle and bustle and stress, they don't come up here. The Watzmann outside shows us how it's done - calmly reminding us of what's really important in life: Taking time for yourself and your loved ones. "The best times in life are the little moments when you feel that you are in the right place at the right time," is the Alpenhof motto.

At the 4-star superior hotel, you are always in the right place. This starts with the hut-style reception. Of course, the hotel has modern card keys, but there are still a few of the beautiful old key rings with the family crest hanging on the hooks. Tradition combined with modern comfort is how you could describe the style of the Alpenhof. This can also be seen in the Almbar, which has much of what is commonly understood by Bavarian coziness. The restaurant area is more elegant. Here you can enjoy the sumptuous breakfast buffet and the magnificent view outside. In the evening, there are various menus to choose from.

The comfort rooms are designed in a variety of ways, sometimes in a modern, sometimes in a classic country house style. The feel-good Sauna-Alm is really rustic, as the sauna area is reminiscent of cozy alpine huts and Stad'l. The infrared cabin made of Swiss stone pine provides gentle deep warmth, the steam bath is filled with wonderful brine and herbal mist and perhaps the best thing to do after a sauna session in the Hütt'n sauna with a view of the valley in winter is to rub yourself down with powder snow in the sheltered outdoor area. Afterwards, you can retreat to the relaxation rooms, which are designed like tunnels in a salt mine or old barns, where you can relax wonderfully. The adjoining wellness oasis offers an all-round pampering program. The various massages and treatments provide true wellness pleasure. In addition to classic massages, there are Far Eastern SPA massages, Ayurveda massages and special massages for expectant mothers. The cosmetics department uses the organic cosmetics line from Dr. Spiller, an effective skincare line from the region.

Next door in the indoor pool, you should definitely take a leisurely lap on your back and take a look at the hand-carved wooden ceiling. This ancient carpentry technique is no longer found very often. Small carvings on the pillars look very elegant - which is typical of the Alpenhof. Tradition meets modernity and rustic meets elegant. In the outdoor pool, hot meets cold, at least when it's winter and you can swim through the snow-covered landscape. The outdoor pool is heated to a pleasant 30°C all year round, as is the pleasantly warm 37°C whirlpool.

Afterwards, you can lie down in the sun pavilion, look out over the meadows and forests to the mountain peaks and relax. Here, unwinding becomes a tangible reality. And if you haven't had enough exercise while hiking, you're sure to find it in the fitness room with Techno-Gym equipment. Behind the Alpenhof is the Zapletal family. While Stefan Zapletal looks after the hotel with its 52 rooms, his wife Gabi, a trained chef, is in charge of the kitchen. But the most important thing for both of them is their staff. "We provide the frame, our employees paint the picture," says Stefan Zapletal, who is happy to have such a strong team. After all, guests should simply feel at home in this beautiful hotel in the midst of glorious nature.

It is a place of tranquillity for a time-out without haste. A hideaway. Simply switch off, let the hustle and bustle of the world pass you by and listen to the whispering of the trees - nowhere does this better than here. You can choose between the historic villa and coach house or the newly built private spa suites with absolute privacy and personal wellness.

High-quality cuisine awaits you in the 20zwanzig restaurant, while the sauna and fitness facilities invite you to relax. While the medieval half-timbered streets of Stolberg nestle along the bed of the Thyra and the narrow Lude rivers in the valley below, the Hotel & Spa Suites FreiWerk is enthroned high up on the Thyrahöhe and offers you a beautiful view, and not just from the large sun terrace.

With seven new Private Spa Suites in the Hotel & Spa Suites FreiWerk, you can enjoy exclusive moments of peace and quiet - all to yourself. Each individual Private Spa Suite in the Harz Mountains is two-storey and has a living space of around 100 m² with absolute privacy.
The spa suites are also furnished with selected works of art from the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory. Sustainability is very important to us, which is why our private spa suites are made entirely of wood from local Harz spruce. In our suites in the Harz Mountains, you can expect plenty of space, a high-quality interior and everything your wellness heart desires.

You can indulge in complete relaxation on two floors. The spacious living area, a shower room and a loggia with a fantastic view of the forest are located on the lower floor. A staircase takes you to the heart of the spa suites: In addition to a bedroom with a balcony, here you will also find the exclusive vitality area with a designer bathtub, a steam and infrared sauna with colored light play, a Finnish sauna and rain shower - it could hardly be more beautiful. In addition to the vitality area, the absolute highlight awaits you in the upper area: a secluded loggia with a cozy corner, an exclusively designed whirlpool for up to two people and a wonderful view of the forest - alone or as a couple.
