Our wellness philosophy

Spa on four levels

A warm purism runs through the entire house; in the hallways you meet warm-hearted staff and friendly guests. You’ll find plenty of space to recharge everywhere. Here you can simply be yourself. In the spa, you experience both cold and heat. You swim, you rest, you relax, you enjoy. That’s how the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa feels.

Hello Muße, old friend. In the Duden dictionary, Muße is described as "free time and [inner] peace, in which one can pursue one's own interests". And quite frankly, when have we in everyday life ever really had enough time and space for that? We want you to be able to devote yourself to exactly what you find meaningful here at Muße - without ifs and buts.

As an adults-only wellness hotel, we offer holistic breaks - without children and without dogs. Only so that we are understood properly: Of course, we love children and dogs. When deciding to run our house as an adults-only hotel, we are concerned with the following: As wonderful as these make our everyday life, it also does us good to take a real little break for ourselves once in a while. Having time for ourselves and giving ourselves attention is what we understand wellness to be about at its core. Young children and even dogs structure our daily routine based on their needs. We know this well, and our own family includes children and a wonderful dog - and as much as we love them: Sometimes it’s nice to just focus on our own needs.

The time we take is the time that gives us something.

Ernst Ferstl (Austrian teacher and writer, *1955)

Pleasure in feeling

It’s all about you here. Or more precisely: it’s all about you. We want our hotel to be a place where you can relax and take a break. Where you can discover and feel at ease. Where you can arrive and feel at home. Where you can enjoy and experience. We offer you the space to do so; time and space create moments.

Wellness not only means relaxation, but is rather a holistic pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. It essentially revolves around four pillars: relaxation, nutrition, exercise, and emotional and social well-being. These are wonderful guides to a positive sense of well-being and a life in inner balance.

Pleasure and Tradition

Nutrition that keeps you healthy and energetic

A healthy diet is important and it includes not only what you eat but also how you eat it. We value sustainable vegetable cultivation, the consumption of meat from organic sources, and rely on regional products instead of constant availability of exotic foods. Our dishes are fresh and prepared from as many local and seasonal ingredients as possible. For example, you will get to know coffee from the neighboring town of Medebach, enjoy bread from the nearby Saxon Mountains (15 km), and enjoy heavenly jam from Gemünden (31 km).

Food is precious. We are happy when you try it with all your senses. The breakfast buffet is open until 11:30 am. During the day, you can enjoy the small dishes from our lunch menu between 12:00 and 16:00 (last order available). A delicious dinner in a relaxed atmosphere makes every wellness day perfect.

Culinary delights

If you cannot find peace within yourself, it is pointless to look for it elsewhere.

François de La Rochefoucauld (French writer, 1613 - 1680)

Our favorite place in the world: Hallenberg

Movement for the body, mind and soul

Soft, extreme, stimulating or soothing, whether it’s a walk or a bike ride through the beautiful Sauerland nature, jogging on a treadmill or a round of mindful swimming: Discover the joy of movement anew with us. Our charming "House of the Center" is a beautiful place to get closer to the inner center through inspiring yoga or meditation courses.

Truly, nothing is as wonderful as shared time. It is often not material things that give our lives value, but rather the sum of the memories we have spent with loved ones. Memories that we like to reminisce about.

During a wellness holiday with your loved ones, you can focus on these moments. Spend time together without worries, cherish memories, and together create plans – and consciously enjoy the presence of the other.
