For over 25 years my family and I have stood for hospitality in Upper Bavaria. We took over the Gut Steinbach and have developed it lovingly and passionately into a "mountain retreat" with hotel, chalet village and top gastronomy.
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, 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.
Yours
