Visiting an old castle is always exciting. But staying overnight is even more of a thrill, particularly when it looks as authentic as this majestic aristocratic estate in neo-Renaissance style. 53 elegant rooms and suites of varying size and furnishing are offered at this historic hotel, in addition to a restaurant with good bourgeois cuisine and a stylish bar. A brand new beauty and wellness center with Turkish steam bath, Finnish sauna, solarium, sun terrace, wellness bar and relaxation room provides true relaxation in an elegant setting.
Historic Hotel: Small castle with long history
Already from afar you can see the peaked roofs and towers of this romantic country castle between the treetops at the foot of the Dachsberg mountain. In the evening, impressive lighting makes it a true sight to see. Today’s Castle Hotel Wolfsbrunnen was built in the year 1900 by local industrialists. Anyone who loves a historical setting will be impressed by the masterful restoration which kept the details of the original castle intact—from the clock tower to the gatehouse to the eponymous ‘wolf fountain’ in the courtyard down to the magnificent interior design with massive hearth, elegant double doors, wrought-iron ceiling lamps and polished parquet floors. Rooms and suites are furnished in various styles; however, they all harmonize wonderfully with their historic frame.
Nature Hotel: Forest castle between mountains & sea
The Castle Hotel Wolfsbrunnen enjoys a secluded location surrounded by a small castle park which is even older than the castle itself and has been maintained in its original form. The park climbs a soft incline over multiple levels, finally offering a wonderful view over the treetops at the Werra valley below. Because it used to be so close to the former border of East Germany, the area features extended forest regions without any industry to mention, making it perfect for hiking or biking. On the nearby Werratal Lake, you can take a boat tour or go canoeing. In summer there are two beaches here for swimming.
Food & Drink: Upscale German cuisine
The hotel restaurant serves good solid German food with a focus on meat and game dishes, but there are also options on the menu for fish lovers and vegetarians. Worth recommending: the excellent monthly-alternating menus from chef Stefan Bühler. Breakfast is offered buffet-style and like the restaurant is of the best quality.
Sports & Leisure: Hiking, Biking & Wellness
The forested surrounding area and Werratal Lake offer countless possibility for nature sport enthusiasts as well as wonderful paths for joggers and bikers. The hotel team is eager to help guests with competent advice and assistance. Bicycles can be reserved directly at the reception desk. The Werratal bike path runs through the park. Within the castle itself there is a brand-new wellness area with massage room, classic cosmetic services, sauna, Hammam and a selection of spa treatments. A fitness room is also freely available, on request with the support of a physical therapist.
Location: Forest locale with a view
