Wellness hotel with vegan cuisine

In the Hochsauerland, NRW

The DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa is a family-run 4-star superior hotel with a holistic focus on wellness in the heart of the charming half-timbered town of Hallenberg in North Rhine-Westphalia. Modern design from the resources of the region paired with an eye for the traditional origins characterize the house. Over the course of many years, a spacious wellness hotel has developed from a former post office (dating back to 1898). With a pleasant size of 65 rooms, it attracts guests seeking relaxation to the beautiful Sauerland region on the border of North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse. Here, adult guests experience a time-out just for themselves - without children and without dogs.

Wellness (also) for vegans

A wellness vacation that also has a lasting effect always comprises four components (according to Donald Ardell's definition). These are relaxation, exercise, emotional well-being and nutrition. All of these have a different importance for each guest and also feel individually different. A wide range of wellness offers ensures that guests can perfectly meet their personal needs in accordance with our wellness philosophy on a wellness vacation at the DIEDIRCH.

Not exclusively vegan

We would like to expressly point out that our hotel is not an exclusively vegan establishment. This is reflected, for example, in our furnishings, some of which are made of leather, the general menu and other parts of the hotel. However, we support this way of life, particularly in our food and wellness treatments. We try to accommodate all aspects that make a wellness vacation appealing to vegans in the best possible way.

Vegan diet at the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa

Do you follow a vegan diet? A vegan diet is characterized by the avoidance of animal products. A diet that we also support in our wellness hotel. We are not an exclusively vegan wellness hotel, but we would like to offer every guest a purely plant-based diet during their wellness stay. The day with us begins with a visit to our rich breakfast buffet, which also offers a choice for vegans. Here we place particular emphasis on products of regional origin. The coffee comes from the Langen roastery in Medebach (17 km), the baked goods from the Dirk Weber bakery in Sachsenberg (15 km), the meat and sausage products from the Merte butcher's shop in Schmallenberg (36 km), the eggs from the Brocke poultry farm in Dreislar (11 km), jam from Holzbächers Hofladen in Gemünden (31 km) and cheese from the Dülfershof cheese dairy in Bad Wildungen (39 km). This makes breakfast fun! If you get peckish during the day, you can enjoy various vegan dishes from the daily menu in our spa bistro, such as a vegan soup or a vegan salad. Throughout the day, fresh fresh water and fruit are available to you free of charge. Vegan catering is therefore guaranteed.

Experience vegan dishes at dinner

Vegans can enjoy a vegan menu as part of the wellness hotel's half-board menu, which will spoil you with culinary delights from starter to dessert. You can get a first impression of the vegan dishes you can expect from us by taking a look at our menu. In various dining rooms you can enjoy vegan dishes such as - depending on the season - a spicy lentil and bell pepper curry with chickpea patties and lime yoghurt or pumpkin slices wrapped in nuts on dried fruit couscous with coconut curry sauce. We look forward to spoiling you with our freshly prepared vegan and healthy dishes.

Water, heat, snow - discover the spa area

Surrounded by gentle mountains, the Hotel DIEDRICH is a great starting point for hiking or cycling tours. Many different hiking and cycling routes invite you to get to know the Hallenberg landscape in the middle of the beautiful Hochsauerland. Water lovers can enjoy themselves perfectly in our two pools. You can either swim a few lengths in our outdoor infinity pool and let your gaze wander over the Hallenberg valley at the end of the pool or relax in our light-flooded column pool. If you're in the mood for more warming time-outs for body, mind and soul, you'll find plenty of options in the sauna area. From the Swiss stone pine sauna to the Finnish panorama sauna and the steam bath: relaxing with the power of heat is easy here. The final cool-down takes place either under a refreshing shower or in our cool snow grotto, where you can experience winter all year round.

From darts to yoga: active on a wellness vacation

But our wellness hotel also has a wide range of activities for those looking for exercise and relaxation. If you've been craving a game of darts, table football or table tennis for a long time, you'll find plenty of opportunities in our leisure room. Anyone who likes to work out in the gym is in good hands in our large fitness room with a variety of different sports equipment. The facilities are complemented by a wide range of guided exercise classes as part of our activity program - from yoga and relaxation techniques to guided hikes. The "Haus der Mitte" is the perfect place to focus mindfully on yourself again.

Enjoy time with your loved ones

When was the last time you had the opportunity to enjoy moments without ifs and buts? To immerse yourself in a moment and spend it mindfully with a loved one? We would like to create the space for such moments for you - everywhere in our hotel. While enjoying a vegan dinner together, relaxing in our sauna area, swimming in one of our pools or lingering in one of our relaxation rooms.
