Well-being and Sustainability

We value regionality, quality and seasonality

In the last 1.5 years, we have increasingly focused on our immediate surroundings in all areas of life. The topic of nutrition, food quality and the question of where our daily food comes from and how it was produced have become even more of a focus.

Sustainability

In the process of focusing on these topics, we discovered that there is an abundance of passionate and dedicated farmers and producers in the Lower Rhine region, who create excellent sustainable products. In extensive personal meetings, we experienced their stories, passion and motivation, which immediately captivated us. We now source many high quality, local and seasonal products from these partnerships. Handling these on a daily basis has increased our joy and appreciation for food even beyond our usual levels.

 

We are now driven to explore our regional farms in search of the best potatoes, the tastiest milk or the freshest eggs. We are incredibly proud to know our farmers personally, to learn about their animals and plants and to become a part of this community.

We are proud to have already achieved Gold status in the EarthCheck program.

 

And still – we have not reached our final goal yet. Sustainability is a marathon, not a sprint. Every day, we put in our efforts, focusing on progress and continuous improvement. Through this commitment, we are confident that our efforts will not only benefit our hotel and the people who visit us but will also leave a lasting, positive mark on the world around us, inspiring future generations to engage with nature in more thoughtful and regenerative ways.

Social commitment

Our social commitment is particularly evident in our regular support for various social projects in the region. One particularly valuable initiative is the weekly delivery of meals to two charitable projects. The main aim is to provide a warm and nutritious meal to people who find themselves in difficult life situations. These food deliveries not only provide essential supplies, but are also a gesture of solidarity and compassion.

"Appreciation is defined as appreciating the value of a product. We share this conviction with our exclusive regional partners and also convey this through our cooperation on site. We particularly value transparency and traceable origins, suitable and species-specific conditions, excellent feed, quality over quantity, and respectful handling and processing of produce!"
