Dining at Hotel Waldesruh
A taste for game
A plated meat dish with dumplings, cranberry sauce and red cabbage, while a hand holds a glass of red wine. A bright restaurant interior with set tables, wooden chairs and antler decorations on the walls.

In the rustic Jägerstube with its traditional tiled stove, good food and good company naturally go hand in hand. Hunting trophies from the days of founder Anton Scheiber tell part of the Waldesruh story, while traditional dishes and a warm atmosphere invite you to stay a little longer.

From breakfast to dinner
A person sits at a set breakfast table with coffee, orange juice, fruit and pastries by a window. A plated dish in a black pan on a wooden board, topped with grated cheese and tomatoes.

Start the day with a hearty breakfast and look forward to Tyrolean cuisine and well-loved classics in the evening. With half board, good food is simply part of your stay. Afterwards, there’s still time to enjoy a glass of wine in the conservatory.
