At the Hotel Braunschweiger Hof, sustainability is not just a word, but an everyday reality. Many small measures contribute to greater environmental awareness - together with our guests. Consciously, responsibly and with great attention to detail.
- Charging instead of refuelling: two e-charging stations are available for environmentally conscious travellers - convenient, safe and sustainable.
- Room cleaning on request - with a thank you: Those who forego daily room cleaning help to save water, energy and cleaning agents. As a small thank you, guests receive a goodie - lovingly packaged in a cloth bag at the room door.
- Repairing instead of throwing away: Our in-house technicians get to work themselves - many things are repaired directly in the hotel instead of being replaced.
- Naturally well-groomed: The beauty farm focuses on regional cosmetic products - with short delivery routes and natural ingredients from the region.

Germany's northernmost mountain world is already visible from afar: the Harz rises prominently on the horizon and displays a special magic. With misty moors, murmuring stream valleys, rugged granite cliffs and gnarled mountain spruces, the low mountain range is a fascinating place. Numerous hiking trails and mountain bike routes wind through the forests and heights. Rivers and lakes offer refreshing bathing fun on hot summer days. And there's plenty on offer in winter too: the snow-covered wilderness attracts winter sports enthusiasts of all ages for skiing, snowboarding and even tobogganing.
