Nature holiday at the Hopfensee Lake
Longing for Mountains and Lakes?
The panoramic location of the Biohotel Eggensberger near Füssen is unique and perfect for an active yet relaxing holiday.
Sun-drenched on the south-facing slope, it is a year-round starting point for a variety of tours and walks through the Hopfen forest, past the adjacent meadows and a high moor with special plants and insects. From Enzensberg and Burgplatz, the view sweeps across the lake to the Ammergau, Allgäu and Tyrolean mountain ranges and the surrounding castles, all the way to the royal palaces.
After so much mountain air, sport and hiking, you can pamper yourself with wellness treatments and organic cuisine with a clear conscience.

Your hosts - the EGGENSBERGER family
Things are moving forward ...
The hotel’s managers, Andreas and Heike, are actively supported at the management level by their daughter Johannawho, at her young age, can already contribute a lot of experience gained from her vocational training, studies and internships at renowned businesses. The other children, Benedikt, Rosina and Elisabeth, a late addition to the family, are working on their vocational training and life plans. Senior manager Rosemarie Eggensberger shares her rich knowledge with guests while performing smoke cleansing (burning herbs for health purposes), during herb lessons and when guiding people round her herb garden. Together with her late husband Otto, she laid the foundation for today's hotel business. On 1 July 1976, the main building was opened as a Kneipp spa.
The team around the Eggensberger family is there for you with their passion and commitment.
Know-how and personalities that shine through their work - The smiling faces and hard-working hands of the 60 or so employees make an important contribution to the holiday experience. From early morning to late at night, in the reception, restaurant, hotel room, therapy and wellness areas things are organised and prepared and cleanliness and tidiness are ensured so that all our guests are well looked after can sit back and relax. The administration and our trainees should also not go unmentioned here.
