Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Historic half-timbered facades line Marktstraße right outside. The medieval town walls and the Kunsthalle HGN gallery are an easy stroll away.
The rooms
Rooms look out over the medieval town center, and duplex suites open onto private rooftop terraces.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The emerald-green indoor pool sits under dark ceiling trusses, illuminated with mood lighting and a water fountain.
The spa
A circular glass floor reveals excavated historic foundations, surrounded by curved mosaic walls and heated thermal benches.
The gym
Curved glass walls enclose the fitness space, equipped with stationary bikes and a Milon strength and endurance training circuit.
At the table
Dining rooms serve regional Eichsfeld cuisine beside modern fireplaces, and guests gather for draught beers in the vaulted cellar bar.
How it began
The inn dates to the seventeenth century and once sheltered post-war refugees before the local Näder family bought it in 1987.
