Sauna Der Wellnessbereich ist von 15:00 bis 20:00 Uhr geöffnet. Bitte beachten Sie, dass in der Sauna aus hygienischen Gründen keine Badebekleidung getragen wird. Bademäntel und Saunatücher liegen in Ihrem Zimmer bereit.

Translation (English):
Breakfast Our breakfast buffet is served every day from 7:30 to 10:00 am in the Stone Pine Room. Most of what you'll find on it comes from farms in the local area. If you have any food intolerances, just let us know the evening before.
Sauna The spa area is open from 3:00 to 8:00 pm. Please note that, as is customary in Germany, swimwear is not worn in the sauna for reasons of hygiene. You'll find bathrobes and sauna towels ready in your room.
Check-out Please vacate your room by 10:30 am on the day of departure. Late check-out until 2:00 pm is available for an extra €25, subject to availability.
Translator's notes
- Zirbenstube — kept as a room name, translated as "Stone Pine Room" so guests can find it on signs that also show the English name
- Sauna rule — added "as is customary in Germany": without it, many English-speaking guests read the rule as unusual or a mistake
- Times — switched to 12-hour format with am/pm for the target audience; euro prices left unchanged

About this service
We translate research papers, abstracts and conference submissions in the established terminology of your field, so reviewers read your work, not the translation. Hedging is kept as precise as in the original: "suggests" never becomes "proves", and statistics, units and variable names are left exactly as they are. Abstracts are fitted to the journal's word limit and structure, such as Background, Methods, Results and Conclusions.
What is included
- What you getThe translated paper or abstract with headings, tables and in-text citations kept, plus a glossary of field terms.
- Field terminologyTerms as they appear in the literature
- Precise hedgingNo overstated or weakened claims
- Data left intactStatistics, units and formulas as in the original
- Abstract to journal rulesWord limit, structure and keywords

- British or American English?
- Are there terms your field translates in a specific way?

Is this a certified translation?
No. You get an accurate working translation without a stamp or certificate.
Do you translate the reference list?
No, references stay in their original language, as journals expect. If a style requires translated titles in brackets, tell us.
