Sustainable hotels in Germany: A passion and an art
Quality is our top priority, and you can certainly taste it – both in our in-house beer “Blobb” and in our own meat and sausage specialities. Everything we don’t produce ourselves comes from farmers and producers in our vicinity. Short transport routes and long partnerships are particularly close to our hearts.

The power of the sun
The photovoltaic system provides energy for the garden house. This has already saved several tons of CO² and coal. For many years, we have been using the waste heat from the cooling systems to preheat the water for our guests. This also saves energy. LED bulbs help reduce energy consumption.
We are reducing the cleaning products!
We clean our rooms sustainably and still hygienically clean - without any chemicals! Micro dry steam cleans deeply, even sensitive materials. Due to the low water consumption and the avoidance of cleaning products and their packaging, resources are conserved. Thermal disinfection removes 99.9% of germs. In this way, we not only protect the environment but also the health of our staff and guests
Bread, roll, and cake.
Baking day (or rather baking night) - often starting at 03:00 AM. We bake bread ourselves once a week, which is why it tastes a bit different every day - craftsmanship after all - made with natural sourdough, plenty of time, and the best ingredients. The flour for it is milled by the Poschenrieder Mill in Sinzing, which regularly receives awards for its quality. A matter of the heart for Carola Hausen.
Regional quality
We place the highest importance on the origin and quality of our meat. We focus on sustainable, regional sources and are proud to source meat from farmers who prioritize the well-being of their animals. At Uhl Farm in See near Parsberg, the animals are kept in species-appropriate conditions and can grow up happily. They always graze in the pasture, and there's a shelter for them in bad weather. The herd is deliberately kept small. There are no transports, as the animals are slaughtered on the farm. We want our guests to consume meat more consciously. High-quality meat promotes moderation in consumption, which has benefits for both health and the environment.
Stay in one of the loveliest sustainable hotels in Germany!
We pay attention to our carbon footprint in everything we do and in every step we take. At best, we buy our food from within the region, making it homegrown, so to speak. After all, we certainly don't want to endanger the 311-hectare protected landscape area that surrounds our hotel in Parsberg. Need a sustainable holiday? It’s certainly guaranteed with us!
