In addition, our guests can look forward to an 18-meter-long indoor pool and a completely new SPA offer for relaxation and wellbeing. We’re looking forward to your visit!

A home-like mountain retreat
With Gut Steinbach, Klaus Graf von Moltke fulfilled a childhood dream. In 2011 he took over the aging Hotel Steinbacher Hof – well aware of the potential that lay behind the stock and the associated area of 51 hectares.

He was inspired by the idea of sustainability and the idea of leaving behind something very special for the next generation. Take a piece of earth and give it back, just as it should be: authentic, traditional, sustainable in the true sense.

After an initial revitalization, extension and renovation of the main house, a holistic ensemble with various residential and feel-good havens together with a chalet village was built in further project phases up to 2017.

Particular attention was paid to the aspect of sustainability with regard to the highest possible quality and locally sourced products, such as the use of wood, which comes primarily from the surrounding area and the Gut Steinbach forest.

The entire resort is optimized by a certified organic farm. The animal inhabitants, including yaks, deer, chickens, pigs and goats, underline the idea of sustainability and make Gut Steinbach a real estate.

The combination of authenticity and attention to detail is the foundation stone for the shared aspiration of Graf von Moltke and his team: Your retreat in the mountains.

Sustainable. With heart and soul.
Guests and visitors who come to our estate in the heart of the Chiemgau Alps for the first time quickly learn what it means to us to place sustainability not just as an empty phrase in an advertising brochure, but rather to make it tangible in every possible detail: Starting with the building materials, which were used for the revitalization and extension measures under the inclusion of traditional craftsmanship, up to our own, certified organic farm with wild game, pigs, goats, chickens and yaks.

At Gut Steinbach, we also pay particular attention to sustainability and resource conservation by ensuring that 80% of our products are locally sourced within a radius of 80 km.

For our guests, however, the unique variety of leisure activities in the region will also be in the foreground. This makes the Gut Steinbach a real “retreat in the mountains”: families, couples or single travelers will find the ideal compromise between high recreational value and relaxation in harmony with nature.

Sustainable & regional
80: 80. The credo that we live at Gut Steinbach is easy to explain. 80 percent of the food that we process in our hotel comes to us from a maximum of 80 kilometers away. In this way, we not only maintain regional trade and support the Bavarian economy, but can also serve our guests the best of Bavaria.

Honest, authentic and sustainable. The use of fairly produced food that has a short way to the consumer is very important to us and is also reflected in the quality of the dishes from our kitchen.

The main house: Hotel Gut Steinbach
In our Hotel Gut Steinbacher Haupthaus there are 50 rooms and suites as well as our restaurant HEIMAT, our cozy dining rooms with sun terrace and the fireplace bar.

Pure relaxation awaits you at our Gut Steinbach Beauty & Spa area. Companies will also find an ideal location in the modern conference area for meetings and seminars. Everything under one roof!

The Chalet Village in Chiemgau
10,000m² of idyllic local color par excellence: seven chalets nestled around a natural pond in Upper Bavaria as if they had always been there.

Each has between 150 to 185m² of living space on approx. 700 m² of ground. Built in the traditional Chiemgau style with craftsmen mostly from the immediate vicinity: valuable, genuine, authentic.

The furnishings could not be more elegant: fabrics by Pierre Frey, furniture from BW Bielefelder Werkstätten, surprisingly modern in form and color interpretation. Two to three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and a fireplace or stove.

For absolute relaxation, every chalet has a private spa area with sauna/infrared, splash shower and relaxation area. And if that’s not enough relaxation, you can also try some detox.

The Chiemgau region on your plate
HEIMAT. Memories of childhood and tastes that once were and still are. Dishes that authentically honor the quality of the products. Selected from the nearby Chiemgau region and prepared with great passion and love for the homeland.

Perfect for your enjoyable holiday here in Upper Bavaria: In our restaurant HEIMAT and in our dining rooms we celebrate our regional cuisine for you. Enjoy dishes made from seasonal, regional products from suppliers we know.

Our claim to our homeland is found in soil, peace and tradition. This makes it quite clear that what is on the table is not only strictly regional and seasonal, but that we take responsibility for knowing where our ingredients come from.

Our credo is that 80% of the food comes from within a radius of 80 km. This guarantees the sustainability aspect in our kitchens and leaves us room to surprise you from time to time.

CHEF ACHIM HACK
Gut Steinbach is committed to uncompromising sustainability – also, and above all, in terms of culinary delights. Achim Hack, as the responsible chef, implements a consistent regional kitchen philosophy in our retreat, which, combined with the refinement of the high culinary school, brings with it a very special character.

In Hack’s kitchen, therefore, mostly locally sourced products are used, some of which come from our own farm. From our chickens’ eggs and herbs from the garden to meat products from our own game. The result: down-to-earth modern dishes with a special reference to traditional Bavarian cuisine.

Restaurant HEIMAT
The HEIMAT restaurant with its three lounges in Reit im Winkl is a very special place to explore the culinary subtleties of head chef Achim Hack. In the restaurant, which has been furnished with great attention to detail, our definition of local cuisine is also lived in the ambience – and loved by our guests.

In addition to the lovingly designed HEIMAT, which, as the name suggests, makes a special reference to our roots, conveys values that inspire us and creates a very homely feeling of security, we welcome our guests in three additional rooms.

In Bavaria, a parlor always has the character of a living room and used to be the only room in a living room or farmhouse that was heated. The family life therefore mainly took place in the living room.

Accordingly, we connect our rooms with a feeling of security and at the same time see them as a place of communication and shared enjoyment.

In keeping with our demand for individuality, we would like to give our guests an impression with the different design of the three rooms, which currents in Reit im Winkl have their influence and how the values in the area behave.

So you have the choice between the Auerhahn Stuben, the Bayern Stuben and the Tiroler Stuben. The former deals with its tiled stove and the focus on the wild animals of the Chiemgau with the traditional craft of a hunter and looks a bit like a rustic hunting lodge in the mountains.

A little further north of the mighty Alps is the Bayern Stuben, which with its lighter wood, plenty of daylight and wood paneling creates a cozy atmosphere. The Tiroler Stuben, on the other hand, is already deeper in the Chiemgau in terms of name and appearance and makes use of the influence of our neighboring country.

The darker and heavy wood can be found on the ceiling, walls and floor, but is loosened up by fine carvings and light-colored fabrics and thus looks particularly stylish. The menu is identical in all rooms as well as in the Heimat restaurant and you decide on the principle that the eye is always eating, for a guest room.

Fireplace Bar
A relaxing afternoon with coffee and fresh cake or as an aperitif after an eventful day in nature: enjoy the selection in our fireplace bar all day long. When the weather is fine, our terrace lures with its very special flair in front of the backdrop of the surrounding mountain landscape.

The MOLTKE Wine lounge
You will find our MOLTKE wine lounge on the upper floor of our forester’s house. A wonderful place to relax, read, and cuddle around the crackling open fire.

Under mighty beams, hand-cut in the nearby forests and assembled into a very special refuge using traditional craftsmanship, it is not only the day that ends comfortably. The MOLTKE wine lounge is also the ideal retreat on Gut Steinbach for bookworms, those who enjoy quiet hours, poets and thinkers.

Thanks to the large glass surfaces, there is always enough light and in the evening the open fireplace illuminates the lounge with atmospheric light. In addition to an exclusive library with many literary classics, illustrated books and exciting books, there is a coffee machine, soft drinks and beer for your physical well-being.

The MOLTKE wine lounge would not bear its name if there wasn’t wine for our guests. Thanks to our wine-by-glass system, treat yourself to your favorite wine with your MOLTKE Wine Lounge card, which gives you exclusive access to this very special place. Enjoy a unique ambience on your vacation in a very private circle.

Sun terrace with mountain view
Cozy lounge furniture, stylish decoration and the unadulterated view of the chalet village and the mountains of Chiemgau.

Whether you enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or one of the refreshing cocktails that our bartender conjures up for you, or reserve a table for your gourmet menu – the picturesque view is always included.

In the afternoon you enjoy a exquiste selection of homeade cakes and delicious coffee specialities from the Dinzler coffee roastery. On our sun terrace you can also have a wonderful breakfast in summer and dine relaxed throughout the day.

We also offer BBQs and various culinary events on selected days, which take place all year round.

First-class meetings…

In The Summer
The perfect starting point for your summer vacation in Bavaria. Explore the numerous activities, be inspired and get active!

Go on an extended hike or bike ride with a mountain bike or e-bike along beautiful alpine pastures and enjoy the fantastic view of the Kaiser Mountains and the Unterberg. The area offers numerous possibilities for excursions and makes your summer vacation unforgettable.

Hindenburghütte hiking trail
Option 1: Start directly from the hotel on a rather demanding ascent to the Hindenburghütte. First you run parallel to our ski jumping hill, in the forest, uphill. Follow the path up to the top and follow the signs towards Hindenburghütte.

Via ferrata Reit im Winkl
Due to the beautiful nature and the medium difficulty tour with a total of 170 meters of altitude, the path is considered the pleasure via ferrata in Chiemgau. Enjoy the breathtaking view over Reit im Winkl!

Mountain bike tours
Via Blindau we follow the signs to the Klausenbergalm. We reach the alpine pasture area after approx. 3 km along the Klausenbach. From Garadaus we drive the path past the beautiful alpine pastures, after a mostly closed gate we reach a forest road.

Following the signs to Kössen, we reach the highest point with a great view of the Unterberg and the Kaiser Mountains. From here the descent begins. We always follow the well-developed forest road to the state road.

We turn right on the street and turn left at the second parking bay, thus crossing the street Kössen – Reit im Winkl at the Neuwirt.

Keeping to the right of the Ache, we take the path to the center of Kössen and turn right before the war memorial, always following the signs for Moserbergweg, Peternhof. The fantastic view of the Kaiser Mountains and the Unterberg makes up for all the effort.

At km 14 we reach the Peternhof, but keep straight ahead at the signs for “Fußweg Reit im Winkl”. We cross the border past the golf course and drive back via Oberbichlerstrasse and Birnbacherstrasse via the center of Reit im Winkl to Gut Steinbach.

Refreshments: restaurants in Kössen, farm café in Oberbichl, Gasthof Stoaner – Alm in Birnbach, mountain hotel Birkenhof and restaurants in town.

In The Winter
Whether cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, snowshoeing or winter hiking, ski touring, tobogganing, horse-drawn carriage rides and torch-lit hikes …

Reit im Winkl in the middle of the Chiemgau Alps is one of the most snow-sure places in Germany and not least thanks to the extensive and perfectly groomed ski areas of Winklmoosalm / Steinplatte.

Chiemgau, the golfing region
Did you know that our Steinbach estate is located in one of the most attractive golf regions in Germany and is therefore the ideal starting point for some attractive golf courses? In our Upper Bavarian home Chiemgau, against the backdrop of the alpine foothills, there are twelve golf courses that meet every requirement.

Whether you hit the ball from Bavaria to Austria on Europe’s only cross-border golf course Reit im Winkl/Kössen or rather swing a game in the face of the Maxlrain Monastery: In the Chiemgau region you have the choice!

With our package offer, which we have put together especially for our golfing guests, you not only “play” the region with a free green fee of GC Reit im Winkl/Kössen, but also come relaxed or enjoyable from the green thanks to massage and half board.

Your Family Vacation

Let Us Inspire You at the Klosterhof
A spa and wellness hotel full of personality, culture and spirit
This is a place of peace and power that plunges our guests into a world full of excitement and passion. “Passion and excitement come alive” is the motto of the Klosterhof. And we, your hosts Henrike and Dr Andreas Färber, do our all to make this true for all guests.

“Passion and excitement come alive” reflects the variety and comfort you will find at our four-star superior hotel and combines culture, spa, health and joie de vivre.

But the hotel truly comes alive thanks to our team – they, like no other, give the hotel its soul. We at the Klosterhof are proud to make wonderful connections each and every day: connections to nature, to people and to ourselves.

Surround yourself with passion and excitement at the Artemacur Spa
Peace and relaxation meet insight and perspective. At the Klosterhof in Bayerisch Gmain, Germany, your holiday will be characterised by luxury and truly special experiences.

We practise the Artemacur philosophy in all areas of the Klosterhof. It is the namesake of our spa – and its soul. Artemacur represents the art of taking care of yourself and paying attention to your own inner needs.

While guests pay attention to their own well-being, they also focus on the beauty of the Bavarian landscape. Bright glass facades and floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors in, treating you to views of the mountains, meadows and forests that surround our lovely spa hotel.

Inside, you will find peace and a quiet refuge: in our pools and saunas, through cosmetic and spa treatments, or in our one-of-a-kind Alpine Soledom, a soothing alpine brine pool where you can enjoy the sensation of floating.

Get lost in thought in the Artemacur Spa, sweat your stress away in our saunas and enjoy professional treatments with history and rituals – with our hammam ceremony, for example. Here you will feel just how passionate and exciting life can truly be!

Health prevention and consultation in the Artemacur Health Centre
In the original building of the Klosterhof is where you will find Dr Andreas Färber’s Artemacur Health Centre, which hotel guests are welcome to visit.

Services range from diagnostics and therapy to nutritional advice and guidance on how to integrate healthy practices into your everyday life. But what kind of tips can you expect from the doctor?

We do not directly treat a diagnosis, but rather offer support from a different, often unconventional perspective. I advise you not to think in terms of deficits, but to appreciate yourself and your own story. This makes it easier to focus on the positives in life.

Frequent health lectures at the Klosterhof round out our holistic approach. Lectures address topics such as fasting, mindfulness and enjoyment. And what’s so special about that? Being mindful often leads to true enjoyment in life!

The Klosterhof’s unique spirit is sustainable
It is with great sensitivity and joy that we excite our guests! As interior designer of the hotel, Andreas focused on wood that builds a visible connection between the Klosterhof and nature.

Construction was of course carried out with sustainability in mind. Our Alpine Hideaway features apple wood on the inside, while larch wood shingles are a nod to nature on the outside.

Enjoy life at the Klosterhof in style
Art and culture are ever-present. When the moon is full, the Klosterhof resonates with the sound of special melodies from hand-picked musicians and bands; works of art on the walls inspire with new ideas; and each room features a sculpture in the form of a very special artistic style.

Just outside our bright glass walls and windows, Mother Nature’s masterpiece fills the Klosterhof with tranquillity and grace. The Klosterhof takes its name from its original purpose as a monastery (“kloster” means monastery in German) where the monks created a sublime paradise.

The monks appreciated and cherished their secrets for a healthy life. The monks loved nature and took health very seriously. We wish to continue this work with our Artemacur Spa & Health Centre!

We warmly welcome you
We are ready to give our guests our full attention – every member of our team brings their own personality and individuality to our hotel.

We are all devoted to making your stay the most wonderful holiday possible and to helping you create special memories that will remain with you long after you return home…

How the Klosterhof became a place of power
Our connection to this unique place began in 2010. We were on the search for a hotel project where we could live out our life-long dream. Together, we created this place where people can relax and recharge, be inspired and do the best for their health and themselves.

We always approach work with positivity and a hands-on mentality. Together, we have created a coherent, harmonious place – for you as guests, for our staff and for ourselves. That is what makes the Klosterhof so powerful. And what will move us into the future!

A Hotel with History and Passion
Stay, enjoy, and walk the path of history
The Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa has history – one that is still alive today. The old part of this four-star superior hotel in Bad Reichenhall was once the St Zeno self-sufficient monastery. Augustinian monks guarded ancient knowledge and practised the traditions of their order.

Their beautiful garden served as a place of retreat: herbs, vegetables and old remedies flourished magnificently. Your host Dr Andreas Färber is particularly proud of the hotel’s history and the monks’ knowledge – as a doctor, he too wants to contribute to a healthy life for his guests.

Passion and excitement in Berchtesgadener Land
There is so much to see, discover and tell at the Klosterhof. Trails steeped in history wind their way past the hotel. Your hosts Dr Andreas and Henrike Färber happily take the time to tell you about the history of the region, treasures of the hotel and the variety of life that calls this area home.

Our passion for life is even reflected in the hotel’s logo. What does the Klosterhof symbol stand for? Dr Andreas Färber will be happy to tell you more about the meaning behind the triskelion – the Celtic sun symbol – in person.

The symbol of unity, progress and growth can also be found in the three pillars that make the passion for living at the Klosterhof so vibrant: “Find inspiration, live healthy and feel individuality – that is our motto,” say the Färbers, who have built everything in keeping with these principles.

How did the Klosterhof get its name?
“Klosterhof” is a combination of the German words “Kloster” – monastery – and “Hof” – farm. From 1500 to 1800, the Augustinian Monks of the St Zeno monastery lived and worked here. Later, they sold the monastery to a family of farmers and soon after people were flocking to this place.

An old funicular railway took people from the city of Bad Reichenhall to the Klosterhof, which at the time featured a dance floor. The fun and happiness came to a halt with the outbreak of World War II.

The Klosterhof transformed into refugee accommodation and later into a boarding school. Actress Romy Schneider often came to visit her brother, who spent his childhood here. Years passed and the Lederer family bought the Klosterhof and breathed new life into it by turning it into a small and lovingly run hotel.

The Färber family and the Klosterhof
The Färber family purchased the property at the end of 2011. Today, their lifelong dream has become reality. After an extensive expansion, the Klosterhof awoke from hibernation in July 2016 in its new architectural splendour – and it hasn’t looked back since.

The former self-sufficient St Zeno Augustinian monastery today offers guests the space they need to recharge both body and mind. Excitement and passion provide constant inspiration.

“We know every stone in this house and have created something beautiful – even if at times in a somewhat unconventional way,” says Henrike Färber happily.

During the expansion, Andreas Färber placed great importance on sustainability, modern architecture and widespread use of wood. The outer walls are clad with larch-wood shingles and charmingly blend into the alpine landscape.

Together with the Philipp Haas und Söhne traditional master workshop in Bad Reichenhall, Dr Andreas Färber worked tirelessly on the interior design.

The Hotel Klosterhof is made of 90% apple wood; a unique feature that solidifies our connection with nature – and a true rarity! Our rooms create a sense of well-being and make you want to explore your own connection to nature.

Did you know … ?
Sustainability is an important issue at the Klosterhof. Even despite our high energy expenditure in the spa, our efforts were boosted by a loan for energy-efficient construction from the KfW.

Adjustments were made to meet the requirements of the community and the salt water protection area, energy consumption was optimised and gas is used.

A Secluded, Idyllic Hotel and Spa

Immerse yourself in the natural power of Bad Reichenhall alpine brine and experience the feeling of weightlessness on your spa holiday in the Alps! Book the Alpine Soledom for yourself or for two – look forward to this unique experience!

Deep relaxation: floating in Bavaria
The feeling of weightlessness is achieved thanks to the 15% Bad Reichenhall alpine brine in the pool’s 35°C water. Without gravity, the body becomes light and can truly relax as you float.

“We have created a retreat for you at the Klosterhof where you can relax as you float,” explains Moni, who takes care of guests at our Artemacur Spa.

You’ll find the Alpine Soledom to be quiet, comfortable and warm – within minutes, everything will feel in sync. Where does the body end, where does the body begin? The boundaries fade, time stands still.

Therapeutic floating: simply let go!
Guided therapy in the saltwater floating pool: upon request, you can be accompanied by an experienced therapist – a special kind of non-verbal communication full of trust and mindfulness, closeness yet distance.

This is the time to let go and enjoy. The heaviness of the body transforms into lightness; pain and limitations disperse for a while.

Romantic getaway at our hotel and spa with floating pool
Your own private spa – a highlight of your spa holiday! The Alpine Soledom offers a unique retreat for couples. Leave the outside world behind as you close the door.

Finally you have time for each other – float hand in hand in the warm water and feel the lightness of simply being. For many, this is an experience on which they look back fondly for weeks. You can book our Alpine Soledom for one hour as a private spa at reception or at the Artemacur Spa.

Special alpine brine from Bad Reichenhall
This is a truly special treasure in our area: the alpine brine mineral spring around the Bad Reichenhall Bavarian State Baths. For more than 250 million years, the salt of the prehistoric ocean was hidden in the depths of the mountains.

Dissolved by spring water, it has collected in the cavity of the Bad Reichenhall basin as a unique alpine brine – with wonderful benefits for people. With a salt content of 12%, it has a beneficial and cleansing effect.

Studies show the positive effects of this salty brine on the respiratory tract, body, mind and soul. At the Klosterhof hotel and spa, this “white gold” can be found in our healing saltwater floating pool.

The alarm pain receptors discovered by Liebscher & Bracht are used to influence pain points, which act as biological information switches to the brain.

Cosmetics – bringing out the best in him and her

Medical Spa and Wellness in Bavaria
Artemacur Health Centre: get and stay healthy on your holiday
“Good health is the most important thing in life!” Everyone has surely heard this before and it is true – the best things in life truly do come second to good health. At the Artemacur Health Centre, personalised wellness and medical spa treatments are our priority.

“We always want to walk a healthy path,” explains Dr Andreas Färber. As a doctor, he has dedicated his life to helping others get well and maintain their health.

Klosterhof guests can also enjoy our medical spa in Bavaria with a wide range of services and excellent convenience. After all, passion and excitement come alive when you take a bit of health and happiness back home with you after your holiday.

Andreas Färber’s Artemacur Health Centre
Your host Dr Andreas Färber studied international health and worked in advisory bodies of the WHO and The International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease. In addition, he was active in development assistance, which taught him how to treat people with respect – and to appreciate what we have in life.

Dr Färber is a doctor by calling and has set up a small health centre in the historic building of the Klosterhof which guests are free to visit. He regularly holds health lectures at the Klosterhof. “We discuss fasting, mindfulness and enjoyment. That’s quite special because we often only truly enjoy life when we are mindful!” he says.

Our focus: your health
The Artemacur philosophy
Medical wellness at the Artemacur Health Centre focuses on the patient as a person and individual. Together with doctors and therapists, Dr Andreas Färber creates personalised concepts that incorporate not only diagnoses, but also potential future developments and a person’s current situation.

With new philosophical perspectives, Dr Färber’s conceptual medicine can transform a patient’s quality of life. These new perspectives open new diagnostic approaches and therapeutic possibilities.

During this very personal, internal realignment, the Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa with our in-house Artemacur Health Centre will become your unique medical wellness hotel in Germany.

Find yourself at the Artemacur Health Centre
A healthy life needs a strong mind. This is the only way to overcome life’s lows. “We do not treat diagnoses, we treat the person from a different, often unconventional perspective,” explains Dr Färber.

This is the guiding principle of the Artemacur Health Centre and helps people not only come back to health, but also find themselves. Old patterns are broken, and a new perspective of the human being as a whole – and not just his or her medical history – enables new diagnostic approaches and therapeutic possibilities.

Osteopressure – pain therapy with the Liebscher & Bracht method
Developed by Liebscher & Bracht, osteopressure points help remove mis-programmed tension and pain. Our certified pain management therapist Gerlinde uses her hands to treat not only symptoms, but their cause, naturally.

Using alarm pain receptors discovered by Liebscher & Bracht, pain points that act as biological information switches to the brain are targeted.

The deadlocked pain is relieved with the osteopressure points, balance in muscles and fascia is restored and the pain is usually completely eliminated or greatly reduced in just a matter of minutes. This therapy is often used to treat joint pain and arthrosis. Very effective stretching exercises round out this therapy.

Medical wellness services
Services at the Artemacur Health Centre range from diagnostics to therapy and integrating healthy practices into your everyday life. Dr Andreas Färber develops specialised programmes with a focus on nutrition. Look forward to a health and wellness holiday with style.

Mindfulness training gives you a better quality of life
Living mindfully ought to be so easy – if it weren’t for the constant stress of everyday life. Tension means we suffer from an extreme lack of time, over-stimulation and even from so-called “free-time stress”.

There is no room for stress or pressure at the Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa – here, we focus on true well-being for body, mind and soul. Mindfulness training at our yoga hotel in Bavaria shows you how to put an end to all the stress and lead a more relaxed life.

Hiking and Spa Holidays at the Klosterhof
Berchtesgaden has hiking and wellness for all
Reach new heights at the Klosterhof – namely in the Berchtesgaden Alps! The summits of the National Park reward you with spectacular views. Leisurely trails and challenging ascents take you to the top. Around the Klosterhof, you will find hikes that stimulate all your senses; ones that excite you and inspire you.

Have you heard of the “heart stone”? This romantic place of natural power is easy to reach from the hotel as it is hidden on one of the trails around the Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa.

The Alps – a true masterpiece – are right outside the hotel
When you stay at the Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa, you’ll find yourself itching to lace up your hiking boots and hit the trail. The lovely Klosterhof oak-lined alley is your path to pure nature. Knotty old trees line the trails.

What a joy it is to hike and then hit the spa in Berchtesgaden afterwards. The Klosterhof has the perfect programme no matter the weather – and if you would like to book a guided hike, just ask!

Nature’s masterpieces are so close in all four seasons thanks to our excellent location. Surrounded by luscious green fields, enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the “sleeping witch” and Untersberg mountain.

Look in the other direction and soak up the views of the Hochstaufen or the Lofer mountains whose picturesque peaks are covered in snow, even outside of winter.

Tips for tours in and around Berchtesgaden
Are you a passionate mountain climber or looking for energy and places of power? Have you heard of forest bathing? There is so much to discover around the Klosterhof – with plenty of mindfulness and opportunities for living in the moment.

The “sleeping witch” and traversing the Lattengebirge

Four peaks from the Hallthurm to the Predigtstuhl: from the Hallthurm car park (5-minute drive from the Klosterhof), hike a short distance on the panorama trail.

After about 15 minutes, turn right and head up the Rotofensattel. Follow signs towards Hochschlegel – Predigtstuhl – Dreisesselberg – Karkopf to the Steinerne Agnes (“Stone Agnes”).

There, take the trail to the ramshackle Steinbergalm alp. Keep right here and go up the path to the hollow between Dreisesselberg and Karkopf. After about 15 minutes, keep right to reach the peak of the Dreisesselberg mountain. Then head back down to the hollow where the trail meets the ascent (uphill) trail.

Here continue straight ahead on an easy path to the Karkopf. Go back again and keep left to the summit of the Hochschlegel. Descend over the summit hollow to the Schlegelmulde-Alm, and on to the summit of the Predigtstuhl (AV Trail no. 469/404A).

From there, hike to the mountain station of the Predigtstuhlbahn cable car which will take you easily back down into the valley. From the valley station, it is a 5-minute walk to the bus stop for buses back to Hallthurm.

Duration: approx. 6 hours, 9.75 km – Elevation gain: 1,150 m ascent, 300 m descent

The Hochstaufen: Bad Reichenhall’s highest mountain
This hike starts at the Padinger Alm car park (10-minute drive from the Klosterhof). Follow the path that runs past the car park uphill until it ends and transitions into a smaller trail. After a longer section of the trail in the forest, you will reach a tree-free, rocky passage.

Just after a long curve to the left, you will reach a bench at a scenic lookout that provides a great spot to take a break and enjoy the panoramic views to the left. The trail then heads above the treeline and through rocky sections with hardly any plants.

The trail becomes a bit greener at Bartlmahd, then climbs towards the west ridge of the Hochstaufen. The path over the ridge is technically not difficult to walk, but it does have some quite exposed passages.

This hike requires surefootedness and a head for heights, but the beautiful views are reward for the difficult ascent. The path then becomes less exposed and leads to Reichenhaller Haus, the highest mountain hut in the Chiemgau Alps. From here, it’s just a few metres to the summit.

Duration: 5-6 hours, 10 km – Elevation gain: 1,330 m

From Großgmain up to the Untersberg
This hike starts at the Bruchhäusl, an old quarry in Großgmain (a 5-minute drive from the Klosterhof), directly in the foothills of the Untersberg. Hike uphill for about 2 hours until you reach the ramshackle Vierkaser Alm alp.

The path is rarely used by hikers, and you won’t meet many people along the way – perfect if you want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the great outdoors.

From there, hike over the Ochsenkopf to Mitterberg and continue on until you reach the Stöhrhaus hut on the Untersberg. Here you will be treated to incredible views of Salzburger Land. If you want, you can take the Untersberg cable car back down.

Duration: approx. 5-7 hours, 8 km – Elevation gain: 1,500 m ascent, 314 m descent

Outdoor Fun on Two Wheels
Explore Berchtesgadener Land by bike or e-bike
A cycling paradise awaits you at the Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa. The experience of being in the Alps is wonderful on a bike. Looking to take things a bit easier? Hire an e-bike at reception. Excitement and passion for life can also be felt on bike tours.

But the Klosterhof is more than just a hotel with e-bike hire in Bad Reichenhall: let us pamper you with four-star superior luxury, delicious food and drink and relaxation after your bike tour.

Hotel with e-bike hire
Exclusive e-bike service for hotel guests
It’s easy to explore Berchtesgadener Land on e-bikes starting right at the hotel. The Klosterhof is one of the Movelo hire stations in Bad Reichenhall and Bayerisch Gmain.

“We have both city e-bikes and mountain e-bikes for our guests to use,” explains our sauna master and mountain fan Schorsch, who is happy to share some of his personal tips for a leisurely bike tour in Berchtesgadener Land. Why not ask him whilst you’re relaxing in our spa and wellness area?

Bike tours around the Klosterhof
The Untersberg round: a border-crossing tour
Starting at the Klosterhof, ride uphill to Hallthurn. As soon as you reach the plateau, continue on the state road towards Berchtesgaden via Winkel and Bischofswiesen. You will already be able to see the Watzmann and Hagen mountains that surround Lake Königssee.

Follow the German High Alpine Road to Berchtesgaden. From there the path runs steadily slightly downhill along the beautiful Königsseer Ache river, through Marktschellenberg to St Leonhard.

Here you will find yourself in Austria! Continue through Glanegg towards Fürstenbrunn. Then the steepest section of the route begins at the end of Fürstenbrunn village as you ride over the so-called “Wachterl” with its incline of up to 14%.

After several ascents and some descents you will reach Großgmain. Continue through Bayerisch Gmain until you reach the Klosterhof.

Distance: 46 km – Elevation gain: 660 m

Mountain bike to the Steiner Alm alp
Cycle from Bayerisch Gmain towards Bad Reichenhall and from there on to the climatic resort town of Piding. The “Rund um den Högl” (“Around the Högl”) trail runs steadily uphill to the Steiner Alm alp.

The path along the Frillensee lake leads to the Adlgaß restaurant. Here you can fill up on tasty food for the ascent to the Inzeller Höhe and the Fürmannalm alp. From here, you continue down to Anger and through Piding and Bad Reichenhall back to the Klosterhof.

Distance: 37 km – Ascent: 910 m

Explore our Region
Excursion destinations & sites in Berchtesgadener Land
We must admit: the Hotel Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa is situated in an absolutely beautiful setting. Nestled into the Berchtesgaden Alps, we boast a unique, sunny and secluded location above Bayerisch Gmain.

And all around us: so much variety! There are so many things to see and do near the Klosterhof – this is the perfect homebase for exploring the area’s most beautiful places and cities!

Holidays in Berchtesgadener Land mean exciting outdoor experiences
With its pristine nature, many hiking and biking trails and special cultural events, the immediate surroundings of the Hotel Klosterhof have something for anyone who loves the great outdoors.

However, our proximity to Bad Reichenhall and the festival city of Salzburg and more opens up countless exciting possibilities. How about an exciting search for traces of history in the Kehlsteinhaus/Eagle’s Nest?

What about a picture-perfect trip along the Rossfeld Panorama Road? Are you thirsting to learn about salt – our region’s “white gold”?

Berchtesgaden healing salt caverns
Unique in Western Europe, this is an oasis of salt that should not only be seen from the outside: the special salty environment of the healing caverns can alleviate conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, hay fever and sinus infections, as well as psychosomatic ailments such as sleep disorders and tinnitus.

It can even help improve your mood. In addition, it is a treat for your ears: the healing caverns are an interesting venue for concerts. Harps, Tibetan singing bowls and the popular overtone singing performances set a special mood as you relax in the caverns, activating their self-healing powers. The reception team will be happy to reserve a place for your visit.

Salzburg, the Festival City
The city of Mozart is just a short drive from Bayerisch Gmain. How about some shopping in the famous Getreidegasse street? The picturesque old town, Hohensalzburg Fortress and Mozart’s birthplace are waiting for you to explore.

Salzburg is a city with style, and has countless impressive, historic sights in store. We are happy to organise special tours if you’d like to see the city with a guide. We offer Salzburg Festival visitors a total package for their glamorous appearance in the city of Mozart.

Lake Königssee in Schönau
Surrounded by steep mountains and at the foot of the towering “King Watzmann”, Lake Königssee is one of the most beautiful lakes in Berchtesgadener Land. No trip to Lake Königssee is complete without a boat trip to the St Bartholomä peninsula.

Bayerische Seenschifffahrt takes you across the lake by electric boat – the echos of the trumpet being played on board are truly magical. Or what about a visit to the Röthbach?

We also recommend hiking around the lake – Königssee is Germany’s number one excursion destination and for years has been a much-loved hot-spot for photographers. Please note: it is forbidden to fly drones in the Berchtesgaden National Park.

Eisriesenwelt Ice Cave in Werfen
Experience the fascinating Eisriesenwelt with its massive 45-km-long labyrinth of caves. The ice cave was discovered in 1879 by Salzburg naturalist Anton von Posselt-Czorisch.

In 1920 the researcher’s lodge and the first climbing systems up and into the cave were built to make the experience more convenient for the public.

The first cable car was built in 1955 and an incredible 60 years later it went into well-deserved retirement. The Eisriesenwelt in Werfen in Salzburger Land is open daily from 1 May to 26 October.

Where Inspiration Feels Right at Home
Design hotel in Bavaria: a place for art and stylish relaxation
At the Klosterhof, you will find inspiration everywhere you look as you are surrounded by incredible art. Every corner of our design hotel in Bavaria has something for art aficionados to enjoy; everything has been carefully selected by us.

The works of art come to us from Wolfgang Gerner. The artist has set up a living gallery that is part of the hotel: in the BarBarossa, the restaurant, the lobby.

Art steles with contemporary works provide inspiration in our rooms and suites. High-quality art is part of the savoir-vivre at the Klosterhof and a connecting element in our overall concept.

Modern interior design, wood, a connection to nature and lots of art
Columns with contemporary art sculptures give each room something unique. They complement, reflect and emphasise the architectural beauty of our four-star superior hotel in Bayerisch Gmain.

Art is an ever-present companion on your way through our hotel: even the walk-through cornerstone is a lithograph with Celtic symbolism. Modern art on the walls creates an exciting contrast to the historic building.

The Klosterhof is a true design hotel in Berchtesgadener Land: the interior of the lobby made of rosewood and gold tones creates style and offers a lovely contrast to the naturalness of the apple wood, larch and Swiss pine in our rooms.

Take a seat at the BarBarossa and be amazed at the effect the Klosterhof has on you. As soon as you step foot into the hotel, you enter a very special world.

As you sip your welcome drink, just imagine the honourable politicians attending the G7 summit who have also sat in these chairs. At that time, the chairs were located in Elmau and cushioned quite a few famous backsides.

A hotel full of variety, tradition and modern
There is so much to see, discover and say at the Klosterhof. We love taking the time to tell you more about the art and treasures you’ll find at the hotel, as well as the variety that calls this place home.

While the new extension of the hotel features lovely touches of modern architecture, the historic section tells venerable stories of the past. Take, for example, the salon or our Hallgrafen, Zeno and Itha parlours that can be booked for private events.

Here, old vaulted ceilings and beautiful floors remind visitors of days long past. Excitement and passion come alive in our LiterArt library in the form of art and literature. Dr Andreas Färber holds weekly informational lectures here, and it is also the venue for readings and art and literature talks.

Selected items from the hotel library in the cloister courtyard
Stories and narratives provide entertainment
Whether written or spoken: words become stories and stories connect people. The monastery courtyard is a historical place that has a lot to offer and tell.

Inspiration is the order of the day here. Because the walls of the monastery courtyard cannot speak, host Dr Andreas Färber likes to speak and fills evenings with interesting medical, entertaining or, during the Festival season, musical topics. Let yourself be inspired and enjoy your wellness hotel with library!

The hotel library
A place of art, tranquillity and togetherness
In the “LiterArt” library, enthusiasm thrives in the form of literature, stories, verbal and non-verbal communication. It is the perfect place for literary and musical inspiration as well as a place of well-being. Dr Andreas Färber holds entertaining lectures on Wednesday evenings, including on health topics.

Readings and introductions to musical works take place here, such as on the occasion of the Salzburg Festival at the in-house festival salon. The library is the centre of the house, a salon for encounters, exchanges and tranquillity. Books of all genres make you want to read and also reflect the thirst for knowledge of the host.

Through its presentation and perspectives, man-made art is at one with Mother Nature’s masterpiece: the mountains never look the same way twice, they change with the seasons, with the time of day.

Perhaps you, too, will find new excitement and inspiration that will accompany you throughout your stay at the Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa…
