The History of Hotel Waldesruh

Rooted in hospitality

The history of Waldesruh

From its opening to the planned expansion in 2027, Waldesruh has kept on growing. Join us on a journey through our history and discover what has shaped our house for generations.

What started small has grown over the years with plenty of heart and hard work. Family hospitality, tradition and a close connection to nature are still what Waldesruh is all about today.

1979: From guesthouse to inn

The bed-and-breakfast is expanded into an inn. From now on, it’s not just breakfast on the table, but hearty Tyrolean cuisine too.
