Eating means more than just getting full - it is a moment of enjoyment, an expression of culture and an occasion to bring people together. Whether it's a good conversation at the table or the first bite of a new favorite dish - food creates connections and is remembered.

We attach great importance to quality, freshness and variety. We are aware that enjoyment is also individual, which is why we are happy to cater for special diets and dietary requirements. Whether vegetarian, vegan or with intolerances such as gluten or lactose - we want everyone to feel welcome and well catered for.

Important for your visit: So that we can cater to your wishes in the best possible way, we ask you to inform us of any intolerances or special diets (e.g. vegan or vegetarian) before you arrive. This is the only way we can ensure that everything is prepared for you in good time and in the usual quality.

Our kitchen thinks along with you: Creative, balanced dishes - even without animal products - are just as much a part of our philosophy as alternatives for allergy sufferers and people with special needs. Because good food is for everyone.

Let yourself be inspired by our passion for taste, care and conscious enjoyment.

Ms. Klaedtke will accompany you on a weekend-long search for local herbs and give you a comprehensive insight into how to make your own herbal recipes - whether for refining dishes or for a small medicine chest. The course includes delicious meals for breakfast, a coffee and cake buffet and a 3-course menu for dinner.

Please have weatherproof clothing ready, you will spend a lot of time in the fresh air collecting your own herbs.
The processing then also takes place in the group under supervision.
