Our cozy vacation apartment, “Abendsonne,” is located on the first floor of our country house on the Wirtshof estate, which exudes a rustic farmhouse charm.

Great e-bike region (charging stations available). Enjoy the beautiful surroundings, with wonderful forest and meadow trails and refreshing streams. Afterward, relax by the property’s covered pool or hot tub and wind down the day comfortably by candlelight on the covered terrace or at the grill and campfire area with its macramé swings. The pool/garden house includes, among other things, a refrigerator stocked with all kinds of beverages (beer, shandy, cocktails, water, soda, etc.; glasses/cups and a beverage list are available in the pool house). Infrared sauna in the neighboring house (additional charge per session; bookable on-site), parking, and bike garage at the house.

We are a three-generation family consisting of Grandma Fini and Grandpa Sepp, us—Christine and Werner—and our daughter Annalena; we are the sixth generation. Our family has lived on this beautiful property for over 120 years; it used to be an inn—hence the name “Wirtshof”—nestled in the heart of a small natural paradise in the “Pechschnaitt” high moorland, set against a stunning mountain backdrop. Our family is deeply rooted in tradition and has strong ties to our homeland.
We are delighted to welcome every guest and visitor; hospitality and “hosting” are very close to our hearts.
