the wearness

Get out of the hectic pace of everyday life and finally take a breath. Wellness for body, mind, and soul instead of 24-hour smartphone flickering. We recommend seven holiday destinations in Germany, which we will introduce to you in the next weeks. From a scenic estate in Lower Bavaria to a designer eco-lodge on the Baltic Sea: very special places where nature and sustainability play the greatest role. This weeks favorite:

STRANDHAUS SPREEWALD 

Perfect for all those who want to escape the noise and excitement of the capital for a weekend. The Strandhaus Spreewald is located about one hour south of Berlin, on the green bank of the Spree, in the Spreewald Biosphere Reserve on a peninsula. 20 spacious rooms and suites, chic and cozy with lots of wood, light, and bright colours. The highlight: the spa suite with its own sauna, four balconies and a fantastic view over the water. Great for relaxing: the small, fine wellness area with panoramic saunas and relaxation cubes. Susanne Kaufmann natural cosmetics products are used for cosmetic treatments and massages. Particular emphasis is laid on sustainability in all areas: Starting with the food - vegetables are mainly sourced from local farmers, some of which are cultivated in the chef's garden - and ending with electricity: The resort uses 100 percent green electricity. Recreation tips: It is very relaxing to sail comfortably on the wooden barges through the Spreewald. Alternatively, the SpreeLagune, a natural beach with fine sand, is only 100 metres away from the hotel. Double room from approx. 128 Euro incl. breakfast, www.strandhaus-spreewald.de.
