»DAS KRANZBACH« - a rare Eco-Habitat

Nature is the intrinsic attraction in »KRANZBACH«. The meadows and forests that surround us are full of energy and their remoteness provides a peaceful sanctuary.
We are proud of our location in the middle of nature. Clean air, crystal clear mountain spring water, unobstructed views of the countryside - therefore we believe in our special Eco-philosophy.

Green facts about »DAS KRANZBACH«:

Nr. Description
1. »DAS KRANZBACH« is located - all by itself - in the middle of 13 ha of mountain meadow, 1,030m above sea level. These meadows are protected and are therefore not fertilised and are only mown once a year, at the end of July. Throught this process the wild flowers can spread their seeds.
2. »DAS KRANZBACH« is surrounded by a huge forest owned by the Bavarian State. There are no noisy roads, no neighbouring buildings, no electricty pylons and the gas pipes and the electricity cables are all buried under ground.
3. The protected mountain valley is only accessible over a toll road (currently €5). This limits the amount of traffic in the valley.
4. The main attractions in winter are long walks, Nordic skiing through the valley or snow-shoe walks - these are all possible directly from the hotel. In summer, you can explore the surrounding untouched mountain meadows and the protected woods: Jogging routes, easy as well as hard hiking routes, Nordic walking, biking or walks along the mountain streams and clear lakes are included in the highlights.
5. Yoga and meditation sessions are conducted in the open air, when the weather allows.
6. The »Garden Wing« is South facing and is built into the hillside. Consequently, it seamlessly fits into its surroundings and is invisible when looking from the »Mary Portman« house. The building is covered on three sides by soil and therefore is ideally insulated and energy efficient.

9. The hotel uses gas to create heat. In 2014 a Block heating station as well as a photovoltaic facility were installed. These untis help to generate about 80% of the hotels electricty requirement. The warm water generated from this process is used to heat the pools.
