WHAT WE DO PROACTIVELY

• No meat from factory farming
• Game from our own hunt
• Protection of biodiversity: no food from
  endangered animal or plant species
• Food (except coffee and chocolate)
  exclusively from Germany
• Organic coffee from a
  roastery Kaffeemänner from Aschersleben
• Personally verified suppliers: All suppliers have been visited by us personally on site and share the same basic attitude towards sustainability and care for animals and the environment
• Regional fruit and vegetables:
  • Vegetables from regional
    gardens within a 20 km radius
    
  • Fruit (apple, pear, plums, berries) from
    own gardens from
    Hainfeld (Stolberg in the southern Harz region)
• Cones, wild herbs and wild berries from our own forest
• Grain flour from Saxony-Anhalt
• In-house herb garden: Fresh herbs come from our own herb garden
• Production of our own vinegars from fruit from our garden
• Glasses, cutlery, porcelain and furniture
  made in Germany

Resource-saving use of water and energy

• Efficient water treatment:
  dishwasher filters the water after every rinse, so less fresh water is used
• Own spring water: From our own spring and well from our forest on the property
• Photovoltaics: Photovoltaic systems - electricity for our resort
• Geothermal energy: heat for the hotel rooms
  and the public areas
• Heat recovery and wood pellets: Heat recovery - waste heat from IT for the
  hotel swimming pool
• Wood pellets and wood chips - for hot water preparation
• Biowastewater treatment plant: local water circuit with direct
  irrigation on site

The concept combines environmental awareness, regionality and sustainability into a harmonious holistic concept.
