Everything was perfect, everything was clean, upstairs at the fountain house it was a bit small but still very nice. You can go hiking and walking very well.

We spent our Easter holiday in the beautiful sunny suite. The apartment is simply great: freshly renovated, new furniture, super clean, equipped with everything you need, nice and spacious and very comfortable. Very nice, quiet location with a view of a small valley. From the shared sun terrace you can keep an eye on the children in the adventure playground on the slope opposite the house. The birds are chirping and the bees are buzzing, apple? - baum... A dream... In the in-house shop you can find all sorts of regional products. From milk, directly from the farmer, to sausage and cheese, jams made by the landlady herself, to pasta, sauces, spices, juices, wines, etc. You can even get a quick bottle of milk for breakfast on Easter Sunday morning . There is a bread roll service, bread, rolls and delicious cakes, made to order, delivered fresh every day. There are many beautiful hiking routes all around, also suitable for children, as well as many excursion destinations nearby. We didn't manage to do everything. Thank you very much to the Dittrich family, you are wonderful hosts, very friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back and are really looking forward to it.

We have been coming here again and again since it opened in 2006. Nature right on your doorstep. We enjoy hiking and have visited this area in all seasons. We have already tried out almost all of the cozy and comfortable holiday apartments in the country house. Super nice hosts. We always feel that the well-being of the guests is the focus for Dittrichs.
