Our water bottles from cycling were kindly refilled at the counter. The name Schäferhof fits the furnishing style exactly. Perfect location. Very cozy and attractive. Friendly staff. The cake was delicious, but very expensive. Currently (07/24) costs €5!!! apiece.

We got to know the Schäferhof as accommodation as part of our Rothaarsteig hike and became total fans. In addition to the family atmosphere, the great cuisine and a very attentive boss who recognizes wandering tongues and then even offers a beer without being asked, the incredibly harmonious sauna area not only saved us on a really bad weather day, but also left us with lasting enthusiasm! The top stay of our entire hiking week.!!

"You think you're on the mountain pasture" is written on the beer mats at the Hotel Schäferhof. And that is actually the icing on the cake for this house, which is beautifully located in the hiking paradise of Hochsauerland and directly on the Rothaarsteig.The hotel is a good size, well equipped and very well maintained. As a guest, you can feel the friendly and attentive commitment of the owners and employees everywhere. As expected, the regionally oriented food rounds off the positive overall picture.But the best thing is to enjoy the “alpine feeling” on the sunny terrace with a cold drink or coffee and cake.
