Hiking

A hike can always be a spiritual experience. Being on the move. Simply walking with companions, far removed from everyday obligations. Enjoying nature. Experiencing community. The guesthouse at the LWH offers the perfect setting for this. Quiet and idyllic, it's located directly on several long-distance hiking trails. The forest borders our guesthouse, as do the Ems meadows. Our modern rooms offer relaxation after a hike. Our cozy common rooms, housed in old half-timbered buildings in the garden, provide an opportunity for evening conversation and drinks. Plan your hikes yourself, choose from existing routes, or let us create a customized tour based on your preferences.
