Even the drive up the hill to the castle makes it clear: this hotel is in a league of its own. At the top, a panoramic view of Lake Eder and the national park unfolds—one you won’t soon forget. The centuries-old walls, the crackling fireplace, and the small castle museum lend your stay a depth that goes far beyond a typical night at a hotel.
