Our wellness philosophy
Space to recharge
A warm purism runs through the entire hotel, and you will encounter warm staff and friendly guests in the corridors. Everywhere you look, you will find enough space to recharge your batteries. Here, you can simply be yourself. In the spa, you will experience cold and heat. You will swim, rest, relax, and enjoy yourself. That is what the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa feels like.
Clear skies ahead
Hello leisure, old friend. The dictionary describes leisure as "free time and [inner] peace, in which one can pursue one's own interests." And honestly, when do we really have enough time and space for that in our everyday lives? We want you to be able to devote yourself to whatever you feel like doing, without any ifs, ands, or buts.
As an adults-only wellness hotel, we offer you holistic breaks – without children and without dogs. Just so we are clear: of course we love children and dogs. Our decision to run our hotel as an adults-only hotel is based on the following: as wonderful as they make our everyday lives, it is also good to take a little break just for yourself. Having time for yourself and paying attention to yourself is, in our opinion, what wellness is all about. Young children and dogs in particular have a decisive influence on our daily routine due to their needs. We know this well, as we also have a toddler and a wonderful dog in our family—and as much as we love our daughter and cherish our dog, sometimes it's nice to focus solely on your own desires.
The time we take for ourselves is the time that gives us something.
Ernst Ferstl (Austrian teacher and writer, born in 1955)
Joy of feeling
For us, it's all about you. Or more precisely: we care about you. We want our hotel to be a place of power for you. A place to relax and pause. To discover and feel. To arrive and feel good. To enjoy and experience. We offer you the space for this, you bring the time. Space and time create moments.
Wellness is not just about relaxation, but 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 attitude toward life and inner balance.
Enjoyment & Tradition
Nutrition that keeps you healthy and lively
A healthy diet is important, and it's not just about what you eat, but also how you eat. We value sustainable vegetable cultivation and the consumption of meat from organic sources, and we focus on regional products rather than the constant availability of exotic foods. Our dishes are fresh and prepared with regional and seasonal ingredients wherever possible. Here, for example, you can discover coffee from the neighboring town of Medebach, enjoy bread from nearby Sachsenberg (15 km), and savor heavenly jam from Gemünden (31 km).
Food is precious. We would be delighted if you would try it with all your senses. The breakfast buffet is open until 11:30 a.m., and during the day you can enjoy the snacks on our snack menu between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. (last orders). A delicious evening menu in a relaxed atmosphere is the perfect way to end any wellness day.
If you cannot find peace within yourself, it is futile to seek it elsewhere.
François de La Rochefoucauld (French writer, 1613–1680)
Our favorite place in the world: Hallenberg
Exercise for body, mind, and soul
Gentle, extreme, stimulating, or calming, whether it's a walk or a bike ride through the beautiful Sauerland region, jogging on the treadmill, or a round of contemplative swimming: rediscover the joy of exercise with us. Our charming "Haus der Mitte" is a wonderful place to get a little closer to your inner center with inspiring yoga or meditation classes.
Truly, nothing is as wonderful as time spent together. It is often not material things that give our lives value, but rather the sum of the memories we have made with loved ones. Memories that we like to look back on.
A wellness vacation with your loved ones allows you to focus on precisely these moments. Spend carefree time together, reminisce, make plans together—and consciously enjoy each other's company.
