We love our planet with all its animals, plants and wonders and want to preserve it for future generations with our current quality of life. That's why sustainability and the careful use of resources is not just part of our marketing plan, but an elementary part of our corporate philosophy - greenwashing has no place with us!

 

This basic attitude, way of life and way of doing business runs through our entire company. From the renovation of the building to payment, sustainability not only plays a supporting role, but one of the main ones.

We have spared no expense or effort to put these values into practice:

- Our low-energy underfloor heating and cooling is 100% CO2 neutral. We obtain the energy for this from a geothermal source - specifically from the groundwater of our in-house well

- We obtain our electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources such as wind or hydropower

- During the conversion of the 200-year-old building, we were particularly careful in the selection of building materials and resources with regard to their sustainability and environmental compatibility

​

- Upcycling material removed during remodeling. For example, we made our stylish coffee tables from the old floors.

​

- Purchase of products that have been upcycled (e.g. plant stands made from old slatted frames, made in a workshop for people with disabilities in Snorre)

​

- Building greening on several levels: inner courtyard, facade, balconies, roof greening, vertical gardening, indoor greening of our entrance hall, in every corridor and in every single apartment

​

- an important part of a sustainable corporate concept is not only the saving of CO2 emissions. We are committed to biodiversity and our micro climate. We create nesting sites for wild birds and also naturally cool the urban climate through our facade greening and our inner courtyard

 

- due to our measures (nesting sites for swifts, bats and other bird species) we have been awarded as a bird and bat-friendly house

​

- Our entire house is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which allows us to use less energy and waste nothing. (e.g. switch to LED lighting)

​

- Extension of the existing building insulation as well as new windows with excellent insulation values

 

- Use of sustainable products in daily operations (soap and shampoo from "Stop the Water" and much more.)

​

- We only use Brunner water to flush the toilets and water our plants

​

- Waste separation and worm composting of organic waste with worm boxes

 

- Planting of trees for each stay with our partner "Grow my tree"

 

- Strengthening of the local economy through the use of local products or cooperation with local family businesses that also focus on sustainability, such as our partner Wirl (bed linen)

 

- Sensitization of our guests to the topic of environmental protection
