Prices, offers & booking

Where and how can I get the best price?

You can always get the best price for your vacation directly from us. Our prices are based on demand, season, and length of stay - a principle that means for you as a guest: the earlier you book and the longer your stay, the more attractive the price will usually be. Many guests appreciate this exact transparency and book early to secure a preferred date and the best conditions.

In our online booking calendar, you can immediately and without waiting see all available room categories, offers and seasonal benefits. If you prefer a single room, need several rooms, or a period does not appear available online, a short inquiry via hotel-diedrich.de/inquiries. Often we can personally provide more than what is visible online – and that is part of our host mentality.

Why aren’t there 3/4-pensions or light lunches?

We deliberately forgo a fixed lunch buffet or a 3/4-day pension. Many guests spend the day very freely - in the spa, in their rooms, outdoors in the surrounding nature, Hallenberg or while taking a walk in the surrounding countryside. A daily lunch buffet would lead to avoidable food waste. We want to work in a mindful and sustainable way.

By focusing on a delicious breakfast and an evening menu, we can cook fresh, clear and with a craftsmanlike approach, without having to prepare dishes that might not even be used. For the occasional mid-day hunger pang, our lunch menu is available – light, fresh and ideally integrated into a wellness routine.

What benefits do early-booker and long-booker offers offer?

Our early and long-stay offers are a thank you to all those who like to plan their wellness holidays early or who choose to stay longer. The early-booking offer gives you a price advantage if you book at least 60 days in advance and stay for three or more nights. Many guests take advantage of this opportunity to secure their preferred dates – especially on weekends.

The Langbucher offer is aimed at anyone who wants to extend their vacation. Starting from six nights, we offer you a significant price advantage so that your relaxation does not have to end too early. Both offers are valid all year round – with the exception of the seasonal specials, which in turn offer their own, very attractive benefits.

What is included in the half-board option?

Their half-board includes a freshly prepared four-course dinner every evening. The kitchen deliberately avoids the use of additives and emphasizes clear flavors, regional ingredients, and seasonal inspiration. A vegetarian alternative is always available. Many guests enjoy their evening meal as a soothing conclusion to a relaxing day, often accompanied by a good glass of wine.

In the morning, a rich breakfast awaits you with hot and cold dishes, fresh fruit, cakes, juices, regional products and small specialities that vary daily. Together, breakfast and dinner form the culinary framework of your stay – light, high-quality and suitable for the relaxing time at DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa.

Can I eat à la carte instead of the half-board option?

Yes, of course. If you would prefer to dine à la carte on a particular evening, please inform us no later than 12:00 noon. This will allow our kitchen team to plan the evening carefully and efficiently, while saving resources. We will add €20.00 to the room bill for any half-board menu not used.

Can price advantages be combined?

No, the individual price benefits - such as early-booker, long-stay and seasonal specials - are not combinable. However, we always recommend the cheapest option for your stay automatically. Transparency is important to us, and we want to ensure that you receive the best price for you.

How do I best book - online or by request?

For many guests, online booking is the easiest way: they can immediately see all available categories, prices, and arrangements. The system is particularly suitable for classic stays and clearly defined time periods.

However, if you require a single room, need several rooms, or plan a special arrangement, an inquiry via hotel-diedrich.de/inquiries Often it is the better choice. We then personally review all the options - often we can offer solutions that are not visible online.

How can I change or cancel my booking?

No changes in the date of the booking are possible. If you wish to change the date of your booking, the existing reservation must be cancelled in accordance with the cancellation terms and a new booking must then be made. Only in this way can we ensure that prices, categories and services remain accurate and transparent.

Please refer to your booking confirmation for whether and to what extent costs will be incurred. The terms and conditions can also be found here. hotel-diedrich.de/reservation terms. If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us - we will advise you honestly and in an understandable way.

Should I take out travel cancellation insurance?

Yes, we recommend it. A wellness holiday is something beautiful and valuable, and an unexpected illness or a family emergency can always happen. With a travel cancellation insurance, you are on the safe side. For more information, see hotel-diedrich.de/ergo.

When do I pay and which payment methods are available?

Payment is made at check-out. In addition, in the morning of your departure you will receive an email through which you can conveniently view your room bill and pay it directly via our guest app; in this case, simply hand over your room key at check-out - we will check the payment immediately and you can then depart relaxed. Alternatively, of course, payment can also be made the evening before or before breakfast.

Do you take groups on?

Our house is primarily a retreat for couples, friends, and small groups of friends seeking peace and relaxation. Smaller groups of up to eight people are therefore generally welcome, as long as they fit into the relaxed atmosphere and the focus is on wellness and relaxation.

However, in order to maintain the special tranquility in the house, we do not accept larger groups of more than eight people or celebrations such as bachelor parties (JGA). In our experience, the character of such events—understandably with the desire for a special day—is difficult to associate with the peaceful, soothing atmosphere of our adults-only wellness hotel. We ask for your understanding in this regard.

I am interested in staying over Christmas. Is that possible?

Our house will be closed over the Christmas holidays so that our team can spend the holidays with their families. We will be back on December 27th with lots of joy and fresh energy for you.

The exact Christmas opening hours and business holidays can always be found in the footer of our website. If you are planning a break during the Advent season or "between the years", we would be happy to advise you on the appropriate offers.

I am interested in staying over New Year's Eve. Is there a special offer for that?

Yes. The turn of the year is a quiet transition for us - with enjoyment and spa time (from 31st December to 01:00 a.m.), without dancing and without loud music. More and more people wish for peace and quiet especially on New Year's Eve; a good evening and a relaxed start to the new year.

Details about the New Year's Eve offer and the current conditions can be found on our offer page under hotel-diedrich.de/angebot/silvester-im-sauerland.

Room, facilities & stay

Where can I find the room categories?

A complete overview of all room categories - including photos, sizes, locations and characteristics - can be found here. hotel-diedrich.de/zimmer. Each room has been designed with clear architecture, warm materials and a calm color scheme that promotes relaxation.

If you are unsure which category suits you, we are happy to advise you personally. Many guests make an intuitive decision when they see the pictures or simply get a brief inspiration from us.

Can I book a double room for individual use?

Yes, for a selection of our double rooms. When booking online for one person, you can book our single rooms and selected double rooms for individual use - simply add 1 adult, and the booking process will show you the appropriate rooms. We can also arrange a selection of additional double rooms upon request and availability - via our Request form, We assign certain categories only after two people have registered; we are happy to tell you in person what is possible for your appointment.

Which pillows and bed sheets are in the rooms?

They sleep with us on high-quality Airfect products, known for their exceptional comfort. The Airfect Original pillow combines a sensitive pocket spring core with adaptive Viscoelastic foam and supports the neck in a pleasant, natural way. Many guests report that after just a few nights they sleep much more relaxed and that they no longer want to miss the pillow at home.

The pillow is complemented by the Airfect Prestige bedspread – a lightweight, breathable all-season cover with a cotton fabric that regulates temperature. It ensures a balanced, dry sleeping climate and a comforting sense of well-being. If you prefer to use a classic 80×80 pillow, we are of course happy to provide one for you.

Upon request, you can purchase both pillows and a duvet at the reception – many guests would like to take this special feeling home with them.

Do you offer double rooms with separate beds?

No, we do not offer separate beds. Our rooms feature high-quality double beds or continuous sleeping systems that are deliberately designed for peace and sleep quality. If you wish to sleep separately, we recommend two single rooms or, if available, two double rooms for individual use.

Why are there no coffee machines in the rooms?

We deliberately forgo coffee machines – for reasons of hygiene, sustainability, and the quiet aesthetics of our rooms. Small machines are hardly ever permanently cleanable in the ongoing operation of the hotel, produce unnecessary waste, and would conflict with the clear, soothing design philosophy of our rooms.

Instead, you can enjoy fresh coffee in many places in the house: at breakfast, in the restaurant, on the terrace or at the bar. Many guests find it soothing that the room remains free from noise and coffee smells – a quiet space that immediately looks and feels relaxing after a break.

When are the rooms cleaned?

The room cleaning takes place daily between 10:00 and 14:00. If you wish to sleep, read, or simply remain undisturbed during this time, please hang the corresponding sign on the door. If you wish for a cleaning at a different time, please let us know - we will of course fulfill your request if it is possible from an organizational perspective.

Are bathrobes and sauna towels available?

Yes, a wellness bag with bathrobe is waiting in your room. Sauna towels are available directly at the spa entrance. We would be happy if you bring your own bath slippers - this is both hygienic and sustainable.

Is there Wi-Fi available in the hotel?

Yes - throughout the entire house. Network: "germanhotspot - Hotel DIEDRICH". The password will be provided during your check-in.

How does the room selection work when booking online?

The online booking system accounts for the majority of our room capacity. We can accommodate certain arrangements - such as single occupancy, longer stays, multiple rooms or specific storage requirements - if possible. Request One. If you have a specific room in mind, send us a message. Often we can offer more personally than what appears online.

Are there rest periods?

Starting in the early evening hours, we ask for special quietness in the hallways and in the spa to preserve the peaceful atmosphere in the house.

How can I ensure that I get my preferred room?

Simply let us know your wishes when booking or requesting a quote. The earlier you book, the greater the chance that we can accommodate your favorite room. We do our best to fulfill your wishes.

Is there a refrigerator or a minibar in the room?

What used to be the minibar is now your cooling option. Here you will also find free water for your stay. Snacks and drinks can be found in the vending machine on the first floor above the reception.

Can I extend my stay if I am happy with it?

Very gladly. If we have available rooms, we can easily extend your stay - sometimes even spontaneously during the day. Many guests choose to do so when they notice how beneficial and relaxing the break is. Simply ask the front desk if an extension is possible.

Is there a dress code in the restaurant or the hotel?

No, there is no strict dress code. Our guests usually dress in a relaxed and elegant way in the evening – just as is appropriate for a wellness holiday. In the restaurant and bar, we ask that you do not wear bathrobes. In all other areas, you are welcome to feel free and comfortable.

Can I walk through the hotel in my bathrobe?

Yes, very much so. From the room to the spa and between the different levels of the spa, wearing a bathrobe is completely customary and desired – that is exactly what a wellness hotel is for.
Only in the restaurant and bar should you wear normal clothes. In the bathrobe bistro you are of course welcome to sit in a bathrobe.

Can I work at the hotel or use my laptop?

Yes, of course - as long as other guests are not disturbed. Many use their room for quiet work or reading. However, laptops and typing activities are not allowed in the relaxation areas of the spa, as these areas are deliberately reserved for silence.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the house, and for those who need a little break from the screen every now and then, our relaxation rooms offer beautiful places to close their eyes.

Arrival, check-in & check-out

From when can I arrive and check in to my room?

Your room is available from 3:00 PM. The period between 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM is ideal for a relaxed check-in; between 6:00 PM and 6:30 PM, our reception team takes a break. If you arrive within this half hour, our service team in the restaurant will be Anna Luise happy to help you, and your check-in will take place at 6:30 PM. Many guests use the time before 3:00 PM to arrive at the spa, have a coffee, or enjoy the first view of the valley.

Can I arrive before 3:00 PM or can I use the spa already?

Yes, that is possible. The spa area is available from 12:30 PM onwards, so you can immediately immerse yourself in your relaxation time. Please note that you can only check in to your room from 15:00 PM onwards.

In addition, depending on availability, we offer two special options: a breakfast on the day of arrival including early spa use or an early check-in for the room including breakfast. Both options allow you to start your wellness holiday in a particularly gentle way. Please feel free to ask us about this in advance.

Is it possible to arrive after 21:00?

Yes, a late arrival is possible. Please inform us in advance so that we can securely store your room key in the key safe. You will then arrive independently and in complete peace of mind – a reassuring thought for many guests when the arrival time is a little later.

By what time do I have to check out on the day of departure?

Your room is available until 11:00 a.m. Many guests still use the morning for a long breakfast, a final sauna session, or a round in the warm outdoor pool.

Can I use the spa area longer on the day of departure?

Yes, with a booked late check-out spa, you can continue to enjoy the wellness area on the day of departure. Changing rooms and lockers are available, allowing you to wind down the day in a mindful way – without time pressure, without haste.

Can I keep the room until the evening?

If available, you can book a late check-out until 21:00. This option is popular and can therefore only be confirmed at short notice. Just let us know during your stay.

Where can I park?

Free parking is available right next to the hotel. This makes arrival and departure easier and ensures that your wellness holiday practically begins with getting out of the car.

Can I charge my electric car at the hotel?

Yes, we have several charging stations. The billing is done through your room bill. If you are sure you need a station, please mention it when booking.

Wellness & Spa

What size and temperature are the pools?

Our infinity outdoor pool measures about twenty meters and is heated to a pleasant 31°C – ideal for swimming laps, but also wonderful for quietly floating in the warm water. Many guests especially love the early morning hours when the valley is still quiet and the water is slightly steamy.

The indoor pool is approximately twelve by five meters in size and is kept at a relaxed 29°C temperature. It invites you to relax in peaceful moments surrounded by gentle architecture and a gentle interplay of water and light. Both pools are open all year round; the respective opening times can be found here. hotel-diedrich.de/opening hours.

What are the opening hours of the spa area?

The indoor pool opens at 07:00 and invites early risers to enjoy a moment of relaxation. The saunas open in the late morning and remain warm until late in the evening. The outdoor pool is accessible depending on daylight hours and the season.

A small ritual for many guests: the early morning coffee in the bathrobe bistro. A quiet moment with the first warm drink of the day – often a favorite moment during the holiday.
The current times can be found at any time under hotel-diedrich.de/opening hours.

I have booked applications. When will I receive the exact times?

You will receive your treatment times upon check-in at the reception. We plan all treatments in the background so that they fit harmoniously and without a rush into your stay.

If you prefer certain times of the day, please let us know. We will consider your requests as much as possible, but we cannot guarantee this in every case. Many guests find it pleasant to simply be surprised.

How do I book additional applications?

The best time is as early as possible - ideally already when booking the room. During the high season, appointments can be booked early. You can submit your request at any time via hotel-diedrich.de/wellness-applications We will inform you as soon as a suitable date becomes available.

Can I book spontaneous applications on-site?

This is possible, depending on available capacity. Especially on weekends and in the colder seasons, many appointments are already booked. If you are flexible, we can sometimes find a suitable option.

What makes your spa area special?

Our spa extends over four levels and combines water, warmth and tranquility in a way that many guests find soothing and surprisingly generous. There are places full of light – like the infinity pool –, places full of quiet comfort – like the relaxation room –, and places for warmth and cleansing – like the saunas.

Many guests tell us that they have found "rooms they never even looked for, but which turn out to be incredibly good". Each floor has its own rhythm and invites you to discover your very own favorite spot.

How does a typical spa day for you look like?

For many guests, a typical spa day begins quite quietly. Sometimes it’s the first step into the gently steamy water of the outdoor pool, while the valley is still calm. Others first enjoy the early-morning coffee in the bathrobe bistro and linger for a moment on a lounge chair to slowly ease into the day.

After a long breakfast – often with a view of the landscape – each guest finds their own rhythm between warmth, water, tranquility, and short walks in the fresh air. Some alternate between the indoor and outdoor pools, others enjoy the soothing silence of the saunas, or retreat to one of the relaxation rooms to read or simply breathe. Those who have booked an appointment are welcomed at the appropriate time and then smoothly slip back into the tranquility of the house.

There is no set routine. Your day at the spa is created by the mood of the moment – relaxed, free and at your own pace. It is this unforced spontaneity that makes a wellness holiday at DIEDRICH such a special place so special.

Can I use the spa area before check-in and after check-out?

Yes, we are happy to do so. The spa area is available to you from 12:30 on the day of your arrival – ideal if you arrive early and want to immediately start relaxing. For guests arriving in the morning, there is also the option to book a breakfast with earlier spa access or, depending on availability, an early room check-in with breakfast included.

On the day of departure, you can still enjoy the spa with late check-out. Many guests find this final half day especially valuable for consciously taking time off without pressure.

Can I use the spa area even if I don't stay at the hotel?

Yes, as part of our Day Spa offerings. Because our spa area is designed for relaxation and the spaces are limited, the daily sessions are available from Sunday to Thursday (breakfast & day spa on Mondays to Fridays). For those who want to come on the weekend: The evening spa is available daily from 17:00 to 21:00.
You can find all the information about this under hotel-diedrich.de/wellnesstag-sauerland.

Is there drinking water, tea or fruit in the spa area?

Yes. In the bathrobe bistro, drinking water, tea, and apples are available. Our focus is on tranquility and ease—that’s why we deliberately don’t have large, loud stations.
If you want to eat something small or have a small refreshment, the swimsuit bistro is always a pleasant place for a short break.

Should I wear slippers in the spa areas or can I walk barefoot?

For hygienic reasons, we recommend wearing slippers, especially on the paths between the spa levels. In the saunas themselves, of course, you enter the benches barefoot and wearing a sauna towel.
If you prefer to walk barefoot, that is generally okay - just be mindful of your own safety and avoid slippery surfaces.

Sauna & textile rules

Are the pools usable without textiles?

No. The indoor and outdoor pools are cloth-only areas. Bathing attire ensures hygiene, well-being, and clarity in shared interactions. A cloth-free bathing style is not permitted throughout the pool area.

What are the textile regulations in the sauna?

Our saunas follow the Central European tradition: they are used without textiles. This form of sauna is hygienic, soothing, and supports the natural evaporation of the skin. Textiles retain heat and moisture and prevent the typical sauna climate from freely spreading.

At the same time, we are aware that sauna culture is practiced differently around the world. Our sauna area is deliberately kept small and very quiet. The clear regulations provide orientation and ensure that all guests feel safe and comfortable.

Why is the sauna textile-free?

Sauna without textiles has health and hygiene reasons. Wet fabrics would store the heat unevenly, hinder the skin from evaporating, and create a drier climate that can be perceived as less pleasant. Without textiles, the heat can act uniformly – and that is what makes a sauna session so soothing.

Can I cover up in the sauna if I feel uncomfortable?

Yes. You can discreetly wrap yourself in a cotton towel if you feel more secure. The important thing is that no swimwear is worn, so that the sauna environment can function optimally.

Is FKK allowed in the spa area?

FKK is only allowed in the saunas. All other areas – pools, bistro, terraces and rest areas – are cloth-only. This clear separation ensures orientation, peace and harmony.

Are there steams in the saunas?

No, not intentionally. In sauna everything DIEDRICH is dry: dry heat, where you can stay as long as you like, and cabins that remain places of individual relaxation. You can find moist heat in the steam bath. More about our saunas.

How should I behave in the sauna and rest area?

Our sauna area is a place of silence. Many guests deliberately seek peace and quiet here to switch off, relax, and gain some distance from everyday life. Therefore, we kindly ask you to speak quietly, completely silence your mobile phones, and treat other guests with respect.

If you are unsure about how to behave properly in a given area, we are happy to help you. A calm and respectful attitude towards one another makes the spa a place where everyone feels comfortable.

Culinary delights

What exactly does half-board include?

Their half-board includes a changing evening menu of four courses daily. The dishes are prepared fresh, artisanly and with a clear focus on quality ingredients. Regional products, careful coordination and a calm, enjoyable atmosphere make dinner a special part of every day of vacation.

In the morning, you can expect a rich breakfast for those who stay up late, featuring both hot and cold dishes, fresh fruit, cakes, and savory and light components. For many guests, this breakfast is a beloved ritual – an unhurried, warm start to the day.

Why don't you offer a 3/4-board or an included lunch buffet?

A wellness holiday thrives on tranquility, ease, and freedom. A fixed lunch menu would not suit many guests, as most spend the day in the spa, in their rooms, or in nature. A buffet would cause avoidable food waste.

We prefer to cook fresh, clear and without overproduction – morning and evening. For that little hunger we have our lunch menu: light, lovingly prepared and ideally integrated into a relaxed daily rhythm.

What are the opening hours for breakfast, dinner and the restaurant terrace?

We serve breakfast from 08:00 to 11:30.
The dinner for guests with half-board is served between 18:00 and 19:30.

Our terrace opens in good weather at 12:00. It is a place for light meals and cakes during the day and a wonderful place for a glass of wine in the evening – until at least 21:30, out of consideration for the rooms above.

Is there anything to eat or drink during the day?

Yes. Between 12:00 and 16:00 we offer a lunch menu - small dishes, soups, cakes.

Drinks are available throughout the day via the bar and terrace. Many guests associate these small breaks with a quiet moment between the sauna and the pool.

Can friends who do not stay at the hotel have breakfast or dinner with us?

Yes, if there is enough space available. A short message to mail@hotel-diedrich.de That's enough. We would be happy to reserve a table for you and your guests.

Are there vegan dishes available?

Upon request, we are happy to prepare a vegan dinner for you. Since the demand for a completely vegan offering is currently still low, we do not offer a large vegan breakfast selection – to avoid food waste. If you eat vegan, we are happy to prepare fresh, suitable alternatives for you.

Where can I find the menu and the drink menu?

You can find our evening menu here hotel-diedrich.de/evening card.
The Vesper card under hotel-diedrich.de/vesperkarte.
You can access the drink menu in the house via a QR code.

Day Spa, Yoga & Activities

Can I use the spa without staying overnight?

Yes, as part of our day spa offer. Due to limited capacity – especially on weekends – we recommend visiting from Monday to Friday. Information can be found here. hotel-diedrich.de/wellnesstag-sauerland.

Where can I find the course schedule?

Under hotel-diedrich.de/curriculum. It is regularly updated and includes yoga, meditation, relaxation sessions and small exercise classes.

Is there yoga in DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa?

Yes, yoga is an integral part of our home and is offered daily. Through the regular course schedule, basically every weekend is also a yoga weekend. The sessions take place in the light-filled "Haus der Mitte," a special place for movement, breathing exercises, and relaxation. Some sessions combine yoga or meditation with brief moments in nature.

Do I have to sign up for yoga classes?

Yes. Registration is only possible on-site and always applies to the respective day. This ensures that the groups are distributed comfortably and that no courses are fully booked well in advance. Many guests find this fair solution very pleasant, because it gives everyone the same chance to participate during their stay.

What activities are there around the hotel?

Hallenberg It is located in the middle of authentic nature – without crowds, without noise, without hustle and bustle. Hiking trails, small paths and wide vistas start right outside the door. The Heidekopfturm tower is particularly popular with its view over the Sauerland landscape.

Winterberg is just 15 minutes away by car and offers numerous leisure activities. This combination of tranquility and variety is highly appreciated by many guests.

Can I borrow a bicycle?

Yes, we offer e-bikes and classic mountain bikes for rent. Reservations are recommended at least one day in advance. The gently hilly landscape around the area Hallenberg is perfect for relaxing or sporty tours.

Can I safely park or store my own bicycle?

Yes, we would be delighted to do so. Directly opposite the hotel we have a lockable room where our rental bikes are also located. There you can store your bike or e-bike free of charge and also charge your e-bike battery using the available sockets - simply bring your own charger with you to access the room. Access to the room is provided at any time via the reception.

What indoor activities are there besides yoga?

In addition to our daily yoga and relaxation sessions, our fitness room is available from 07:00 a.m. - a bright space for quiet workouts.

Next to the spa entrance is also our leisure area with table tennis, billiards and darts. Many guests use it spontaneously, sometimes even in a bathrobe, as a small, lively addition to an otherwise quiet wellness day.

What clothing do I need for yoga or fitness?

For yoga and fitness, comfortable sports or yoga clothing is sufficient. Mats, blankets, and other equipment are available on site. Many guests travel light—the "House of the Middle" is fully equipped.

Adults Only, Children & Dogs

Do you accept children or babies?

We welcome guests aged 16 and over. This clear focus creates an atmosphere where adults can relax – in the spa, in the relaxation rooms, in the restaurant and on the corridors. Many guests are looking for just this kind of silence, and it is an essential part of our house.

There are numerous wonderful hotels that specialize in serving families. Our house, however, is a place where adults can consciously find time for themselves.

Why are children not allowed?

Our Adults-Only concept is an offering for adults seeking a break from everyday life. Babies and young children require attention, movement, and noise – things that are difficult to arrange in a quiet wellness environment.

For many parents, a stay with us is a rare opportunity to be alone for just a few days. Many tell us that they return to their children with more serenity and joy afterwards. In this sense, children also benefit when parents recharge their own batteries.

Can I bring my dog along?

No. We want to keep our house as allergy-friendly as possible while at the same time protecting the peaceful atmosphere. Dogs—as much as we love them—would interfere with both. We therefore ask for your understanding.

Accessibility

Is the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa barrier-free?

In many areas, yes. Since our house has grown over the decades and is located on a slope, there are however certain areas that are not completely barrier-free accessible. There are handrails on the stairs, not along the hallways and paths in the house. Nevertheless, many guests with mobility impairments feel very comfortable, as the most important areas are easily accessible.

How do I get to the reception and my room barrier-free?

The main entrance is not barrier-free. However, you can access the house via the side entrance on the left of the building, which leads smoothly into the house and takes you comfortably to the reception and most of the guest rooms by elevator. If you require a particularly accessible room, we will be happy to advise you before booking.

Are the spa area and the saunas barrier-free?

The spa entrance, the treatment rooms, the sauna area and the pillar-shaped pool with indoor pool are barrier-free accessible. The indoor pool has steps with handrails. The outdoor pool is accessible from the ground floor but has a vertical ladder as an entrance.

The fitness and spa level, as well as the "Timeless" relaxation area, are not barrier-free due to the structural design.

Are there barrier-free rooms available?

Yes, we have several rooms that are particularly suitable for guests with mobility impairments. We are happy to explain to you personally which equipment is ideal for your needs.

Which areas are not barrier-free?

Due to the sloping terrain, this affects the fitness and spa level, as well as the "Timeless" relaxation area. The other main areas - reception, restaurant, spa entrance, indoor pool, saunas and terraces - are accessible without stairs.

Can you help me with the planning?

We would be delighted to do so. Many guests with special requirements contact us in advance so that we can discuss the ideal room selection and route planning together. We advise openly and honestly - so that you know exactly what to expect.

Location, arrival and surroundings

Where is the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa located?

Our hotel is located in the heart of Hallenberg, a small, quiet half-timbered town on the southernmost edge of the Sauerland – right on the border with Hesse. The landscape is characterized by gentle hills, forests, and wide vistas. Many guests describe the surroundings as "a treat for the senses".

The claim "Clear skies ahead" aptly sums up this feeling: Farmland, tranquility, nature - and yet good accessibility.

What is the environment like and what can I do there?

Hallenberg It is a quiet place without any noise. Just outside the door begin hiking trails, small paths, and varied hiking routes. The Heidekopfturm is particularly popular, offering impressive views of the landscape.

Just 15 minutes away is Winterberg, where you can enjoy sports activities, dining options, and other attractions. Many guests combine relaxation in the spa with small adventures in nature.

How is the best way to travel by car?

Getting here is easy. Through well-maintained country roads, you can reach our house safely and relaxed. Free parking is available right outside the hotel, so your getaway practically begins with getting out of the car.

Can I charge my electric car at the hotel?

Yes, we have several electric charging stations right at the hotel. The billing will be made from your room bill. Please mention your charging needs when making your request so that we can plan the capacities optimally.

How do I best travel by train?

The nearest train stations are in Winterberg, Frankenberg (Eder) and Münchhausen. Depending on the direction of travel, it is worth taking a look at the appropriate route. From there, we are happy to arrange a taxi for you if you wish.

Which airports are nearby?

The airports of Paderborn-Lippstadt, Kassel-Calden, Dortmund, Cologne/Bonn, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt are easily accessible. Many guests associate the journey with a scenic introduction to their holiday.

Are there parking facilities at the hotel?

Yes, there are sufficient free parking spaces directly at the hotel, so no reservation is necessary. The parking areas are easily accessible and are located around the hotel and in front of the opposite buildings. This also makes leaving the hotel a pleasant and uncomplicated process.

Other service topics

Can I have mail or packages sent to the hotel during my stay?

Yes, that is possible. If you would like to send mail or a package to our house, please inform us in advance. We are happy to accept shipments for you and store them for you. For packages, we ask for delivery exclusively during your stay dates.

Is there any way to wash or dry clean clothes?

Yes. If you would like to have clothes cleaned during your stay, please simply contact us. We are happy to arrange the cleaning for you. Processing times may vary depending on the day of the week and the scope of work, so we recommend that you let us know as early as possible.

Are there any periods of time when the hotel is closed?

Yes, there are fixed periods when our house is closed. During Christmas, we give our team a few days off so that they can spend time with their families as well. In addition, we usually take a short period in the summer to carry out maintenance work and improvements in the house.

The current operating holidays are listed in the footer of our website. This way you can see at a glance which days we are open to our guests and when we deliberately close the house to ensure it remains in a tidy and welcoming condition for you.

Can I purchase vouchers from you? What should I pay attention to?
