ArchitecturePreservation and continued use of an ecologically harmless building fabric is often the best sustainability strategy. So the Kirnbauers took over their parents' guest house and carefully renovated and renewed it. The floors have been upgraded with oiled parquet. In the Stadl, the former barn, there is now less hay and instead the guest apartments for two people with a kitchenette and balcony. It is connected to the main house by an architecturally excellent intermediate building made of traditional building materials and local woods. Even existing furnishings were still used and, if necessary, supplemented with new pieces. All rooms are therefore individually furnished. Some with antique painted country furniture, some in a more modern country house style.

FoodIt's cozy in the Vesperstube for house guests. The house specialty is jacket potatoes with homemade herb quark. Herbs come from our own garden, potatoes from the region and the quark is made from silage-free hay milk. The buttermilk waffles are recommended for dessert. All food is obtained from the local area and some are certified organic. And what is left of the food goes to the mill's goats and poultry. Then the chickens lay delicious eggs again. Vegetarian guests will also find something on the menu.

EnvironmentIf enough water rushes down the Mühlbach, then there is no more grinding here, but electricity is produced. Otherwise there is a photovoltaic system and a thermal solar system for electricity and hot water. Own well water is used for the garden and the distillery. And in the hotel garbage is avoided as far as possible, and the garbage that arises nevertheless is strictly separated. Nothing is fertilized or sprayed in the permaculture garden and orchard and is therefore all the more delicious. The Kirnbaurs are involved in the conservation programs "Preservation and care of orchards" and "Preservation and care of meadow meadows" and are privately involved in the "Slow Food" movement.
