SUSTAINABILITY & CLIMATE PROTECTION

We live in a region with pure air, intact nature and a sea full of raw materials. The topics of sustainability and environmental protection are therefore very important to us. We mainly buy fairly produced, fresh food from our region in order to avoid unnecessary emissions. Our building technology is always up to date and ensures consistent energy optimization using, among other things, the latest control technology and energy lamps. We pay attention to packaging reduction, the optimized use of cleaning products and water and ensure sustainable action through conscious garden design and investments in e-mobility and charging structures.

We only recently had ourselves certified with the DEHOGA environmental check. The basis for these tests is a catalog of over 80 criteria and the evaluations of our consumption of waste, electricity, water and the purchase of regional products, many of which our guests can see directly.
