We passed by this hotel a couple of years ago but didn't have a chance to stop so this year we cycled approx. 40 miles to the hotel and stayed the night. …

I came across the village and hotel by chance on a road trip to Dresden from UK. The village has a great simple, peaceful campsite by the river Werra ( the old East/West border). …

Stayed a couple of nights at this lovely, small hotel in Altenburschla. The family that runs it were very welcoming and helpful, the food was wonderful and the room was very nice. It makes a great base for exploring the Werra River Valley or as a stop along the lengthy, paved bike trails.

The four of us visited the restaurant for dinner and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.Our dishes were super tasty, rich and definitely freshly prepared. The price range isn't necessarily a bargain, but it's definitely worth the investment. Quality and service were top! In our opinion, a real insider tip!PS: And at the end the chef himself came to every table and asked how satisfied the guests were. ♥️

The food is very tasty and made with love. The service warm and friendly. All wishes will be fulfilled. We thoroughly enjoyed the starter, main course and dessert. The prices are reasonable and we look back fondly on our culinary experience in a beautiful beer garden.

We booked Apartment No. 1 with a travel group of 4 people through the OpenFlair Festival.Everything was clean.The rooms and the rest of the apartment are cozy and beautiful.We had enough keys to visit the festival individually for each person.Individual arrival of the travel group using the key safe is very flexible.There are opportunities to shop in the surrounding area, in the neighboring towns (Rewe, Edeka, Aldi).You can also go hiking in nature here. There are many signposted cycling and hiking trails.The breakfast buffet was sufficient and varied enough.You can book it individually.The lady who took care of it was very friendly and pleasant.The owners are reliable and friendly.The cancellation (at relatively short notice) by one person was no problem and did not incur any additional costs.We will be happy to come back next year.
