As a caveat, I've not been to a facility like this before so my experience is of a first timer. I was staying in the attached hotel and excited to get my relaxation on and disconnect from everything. When you stay in the hotel you are granted access to Keidel through an underground tunnel (which means you get to walk over in your robe). There is a section of the facility that is for families and includes a large indoor/outdoor pool with jets and lots of lounge seating. I spent about 30 seconds there before high-tailing it to the sauna section (again, not a fan of kids). The sauna section is also a no-clothing section. As an American with American sensitivities to nudity (eek! Nipples are scary!), I was apprehensive (see: terrified). We entered the locker room where there are places to change into your robe. They also had a set of gender-specific showers, though they don't have any doors, just dividers. Queue immediate hives and the onset of hyperventilation. You then walk into the common area that has a few separate saunas, a steam room (beautifully tiled), a cold ice plunge, some seats with foot baths, several open shower heads for quick co-ed rinses between sauna sessions, and the entrance to a pool that extends outside. Once outside you'll see there are additional saunas, a natural lake (for more cold plunges), and a quiet sitting area to lounge. We happened to visit when there was a light snowfall outside and it was actually quite magical to be floating in a heated pool while snow drifted down around us. What struck me the most though was how quickly I got used to the nudity. Unlike nude beaches back home, folks weren't gawking or staring at one another (I won't mention the other unpleasant activities I've seen at American nude beaches, but suffice to say our prude culture leads to some sickos). No, here groups of girlfriends were laughing and chatting while using the communal showers and walking around in their birthday suits. Yes, I still kept a robe on anytime I wasn't in a sauna or skinny dipping in the pool, but there was no judgement whatsoever and who knows, maybe next time I'll forgo the robe altogether. All in all, we spent several hours decompressing and doing our sauna routine and left feeling totally relaxed and a heck of a lot less bashful. The facility did feel a bit more therapeutic and not super luxurious (like a spa back home) but I'm a fan and we've already planned our trip back 2 years after our first visit.

Tucked away in the black forest this is the prefect hotel to come and get away from 'whatever it is…read moreyour trying to get away from' The first thing I should write before I go any futher is 'Your mobile phone will not work in the hotel!' You will have to walk more then 1km down the road or go hiking up one of the trails around the hotel to find reception- I say this now as nobody warned me when I went to spend C'mas and New Years here so I spend 3 of the 8 days I spent here unreachable by family and loved ones back home :-( and finally someone told me where I could find reception. This place is really beautiful all year around but Winter and summer are my favorites with ice and snow turning it into a winter wonderland around C'mas and during summer blueberries and blackberries grow everywhere and the neighbouring winneries are just getting ready for grape picking season. The hotel is about 40 rooms big and the rooms although not the biggest hotel rooms I've come across are comfy and well sized (plus you won't want to be spending much time in your room here anyways) the mini bar can be stocked to your requirement all you need to do is order. Brunch is served in the hotels Breakfast room which during summer opens up for outdoor seating so that you can enjoy all the unusal amount of sun this part of Germany gets- and the Brunch here is the best I've had in Germany HUGE sellection and REAL breakfast items as well....so alot more then just your usual cheese and cold meat stuff. Actually pretty much everything I've eaten in this hotel is fantastic... they have a really good chef and the meals here are usually 3-4 course (unless it's new years and C'mas and in those cases we had a menu that went on for hours and hours with the last dish desert being served at 11pm) The wine list is really extensive too as we're in the middle of Germany best wine region and the owners are friends with many of the wine making familes aroudn here and of course France is only half and hour drive from here so you pretty much have no reason to drink out of the regional wine list. The dayspa has a sunbed, massage rooms, beauty therapy (They use Thalgo here), waxing and lounges to relax and read on... a huge swimming pool which is heated all year around- a wirlpool and a three room sauna area with nordic sauna, wet sauna and a cooler tempture wet sauna for kids. For things to do around the area while staying at the hotel- there's a huge selection of forest trails for cycling or walking plus wineries to visit and day trips into France and Freiburg are very easy. The Owners (Holgar and Yara Weber) are great people, extremely friendly and helpful as are their staff.

There are running/bike trails right by the hotel and they let you rent bikes for the day, which is a nice deal. The rooms themselves are spacious, with a balcony.

Overall, this is a good place for a work trip, the only downside is that it's not walking distance in the city, but the views are amaizing from almost every room!

This seems to be the go to hotel for people in my company when visiting our local office. I stayed only for one night. The front desk staff was very friendly and we were checked in quickly.

The bathrooms were small, but everything worked just fine. This hotel has a decent bar in the lobby called Hemingway's, like the author. They also have a pretty good breakfast spread in the morning.
