Themed hiking trail in Unterammergau

In the middle of the Ammergau Alps Nature Park, you have the opportunity to explore traditional whetstone making as part of an eventful and varied hike. Passing numerous splashing waterfalls, small streams and huge stone landscapes, you can visit the restored Wetzsteinmühle and learn more about the production of whetstones. The surrounding area, which is characterized by several quarries, offered an ideal location for practicing this rare craft until the 1960s. After the old mill in the Schleifmühlklamm had fallen into disrepair, it was painstakingly and lovingly restored in detail by the historical working group and is definitely worth a visit. Explore the Ammergau Alps Nature Park and discover the old mill as well as the surrounding whetstone quarries, which are only a few kilometers away from our hotel.

For private events, we recommend our cosy fireside lounge. On the upper floor, our two floating balconies each offer space for up to 30 people and our Hidden Room Nautilus seats a maximum of 12. For large parties, our Restaurant Hieronymus is also available exclusively. Contact us - we will be happy to advise you. 

Inspired atmosphere for big projects. The view through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the mountain and meadow landscape of the Ammertal encourages free, concentrated thinking. The sculpture garden stimulates during walks and coffee breaks. The large conference room meets the highest standards of materials, technical equipment,
comfort and functionality.

Creative retreat for new ideas. The Creative Lab provides space for wild thinking and new ideas in a relaxed start-up atmosphere: a retreat where small and medium-sized groups can create visions and view their projects from new perspectives.

The mSE Kunsthalle and its sculpture park with the 32-metre space and sound sculpture "Sichtung" in Unterammergau present contemporary art in changing exhibitions and make art tangible.

FIND THE RIGHT HIKE FOR YOU 

Vom Forsthaus zum Königshäuschen zum Schloss, so lässt sich die Baugeschichte von Schloss Linderhof zusammenfassen. Ab 1869 ließ König Ludwig II. das ehemalige Försterhäuschen seines Vaters schrittweise im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes „umbauen“, bis schließlich ein prunkvoll ausgestattetes Lustschloss im Stil des französischen 18. Jh. entstand. Auch die Umgebung sollte dem Geist des französischen Absolutismus entsprechen. Nach Plänen von Carl Joseph von Effner entstand schließlich einer der qualitätvollsten Parks des 19. Jh., der Elemente des französischen Barock mit dem englischen Landschaftsgarten vereint: Terrassen mit Wasserbassins, geometrische Beete, eine Kaskade mit Figurenbrunnen treffen auf einen naturnahen, unregelmäßig gestalteten Park. Dieser wird belebt durch exotische Bauten, die die Orientmode der Zeit (Marokkanisches Haus, Maurischer Kiosk) und Ludwigs Vorliebe für Richard Wagners Opern widerspiegeln. Am bekanntesten ist hier wohl die „Venusgrotte“ (1. Akt des „Tannhäuser“), eine künstliche Tropfsteinhöhle mit See und Wasserfall und damals völlig neuartiger elektrischer Beleuchtung.

Right next to the famous Ettal Monastery, at an altitude of 900m, lies the Ettal Show Dairy - an association of 37 farmers from the Ammergau Alps. You can follow the processing of the milk to the finished cheese with all your senses and experience how cheese is made today with the most modern technology. Experience, taste and enjoy! 

We will soon be offering yoga classes with you - Friday from 5pm in the Kunsthalle and Saturday from 11am in the Creative Lab - 75 minutes per hour for 20€, with pre-registration at the reception. There must be a minimum of 4 participants, max. 15 - less than 4 people can book a "private" hour - this then costs 75€. Yoga mat should be brought by yourself, but can also be rented at the reception for a fee of 5€. In principle, groups / meetings can also book a yoga lesson (during the week by arrangement).

Austria's largest nature park is within sight. The Innsbruck Nordkettenbahnen take you from the old town of Innsbruck up to 2,300m in just a few minutes, where breathtaking views of the capital of the Alps and the Karwendel Nature Park await you. On the way to the Top of Innsbruck - the Hafelekar at 2,256m - you pass the Seegrube at 1,905m and the Hungerburg at 860m. The small cable car museum, the Theresienkirche church and the Alpine zoo complete the impressive nature experience. 

PLAN YOUR EXPERIENCE HERE
