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 marketplace listings for Amazon Europe (amazon.de, .fr, .it, .es, .nl) and Etsy so they read like local listings, not translations. Titles and bullets are rebuilt around the phrases local shoppers actually type, which are often not literal translations of your English keywords, and stay within the marketplace length limits. Units, sizes and spelling follow the target country.

Questions and answers
Why not translate my keywords literally?
Local shoppers often use different words. A literal translation can miss the phrases people actually search for.
Do you upload the listings?
No, we do not access seller accounts. You paste the fields in yourself.
How are listings counted?
Each listing in each language counts once. One listing into German and French is two.
