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 restaurant, café and bar menus for tourists so guests understand what they are ordering and still feel the local character. Signature dish names stay in the original with a short, appetising explanation, for example "Pelmeni, meat dumplings in broth", instead of awkward literal versions. Allergen marks, portion sizes and prices are carried over exactly, and the same dish is named the same way in every language.
