At the end of October of 2017, during our trip to Germany, we had the opportunity to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle, the famous “Cinderella’s Castle” in which Walt Disney inspired himself. And we took advantage of the opportunity to meet the best hotel of the region: HOTEL DAS RÜBEZAHL.
Located in the small city of Schwangau, on the last miles of the Romantic Road in the Bavaria Region of Germany and in the Alps region called Allgaeu, is the charming and romantic 4 stars hotel DAS RÜBEZAHL. The Hotel is very luxurious, a real fairy tale. You are very welcomed from the minute you check in until you leave the hotel. It’s perfect for any occasion, specially for honeymoon or special occasions.

CULINARY
Besides the perfect spa, the amazing rooms, the luxurious service, the fantastic view and the excellent localization, the gastronomy of Hotel Das Ruebezahl also deserves its credits. From breakfast to dinner, everything is delicious. The gastronomy is always worthy of a 4 Star Hotel. Not mentioning the elegance of the restaurant. The atmosphere is casual, with option of outdoor seating with view of the castles.
Breakfast is very complete, with a huge variety of breads, jams, cereals, juices, pancakes, waffles, sausages, eggs, etc. Everything is of excellent quality. Breakfast may also be served in the room (upon request).
Dinner is also fantastic, served in a romantic way, perfect for honeymoon or special dates to celebrate in couple. We suggest you opt for Half Board (breakfast and dinner), so you can eat very well and also spend more time in this perfect hotel in the Bavarian Alps.
The owners of the Hotel are the Thurm Family, Giselle and Erhard Thurm. Giselle is a brazilian in love with the Bavaria Region. They both speak German, English and Portuguese. They are a very sweet couple and they are very receptive to their customers . They do everything to make sure you will have a memorable stay and you certainly will.
Besides all of this, Giselle and Erhard also own a Restaurant at the Mountain, called Rohrkopfhutte. It’s a charming cabin that gives you an incredible view of Cinderella’s Castle, the Alps, lakes and all of that fantastic green area. It’s really amazing. Rohrkopfhutte restaurant has a rural atmosphere and an excellent location.
And it’s not just a beautiful view that the restaurant at the mountain gives you. The food and the drink are of high quality and the staff service is nice as well. As we don’t drink alcohol, we ordered an excellent grape juice, typical from the region. But if you are a fan of beer don’t forget to order a good German beer while you appreciate the view from up there. We also got a dessert called Kaiserschmarren, a traditional German pancake dish with apple. It’s very delicous.
Not mentioning the adventure that is to arrive at the restaurant. The nature lovers are gonna love it. To get up there, usually it has two options (since the restaurant stays exactly in the middle of the mountain): you can go hiking through the mountain until you reach the Cabin, OR you can take the cable car ride (Tegelbergbahn) until the top of the hill, while you appreciate the view from above. When you reach the mountain top with the cable car, you’ll need to hike down the hill until you get to the restaurant. We preferred the second option, but they are both easy to do it, despite requiring a long time walking. Make sure to wear appropriate clothes and shoes. The physical activity is worthy, don’t leave the town without going up there. It’s an unique experience, very different from everything we did along our trip through Europe.
For those who enjoy some more adventure, at the Mountain there is also option for radical sports, like skydiving and paraglider. The restaurant at the Mountain is also a challenge for mountain bikers. The adventure is also guaranteed in the winter, when the mountain becomes some kind of ski station.
It’s not hard to notice why we loved to stay in Schwangau and at the Hotel Das Ruebezahl. There you can find attractions for all tastes, ages, for different degrees of courage and for all kind of person: for nature lovers, adventurous travellers, for the romantics ones, for those who want to relax and appreciate a good meal and a wonderful view, and for all of those who want all of these but don’t give up a stay of luxury and comfort.
Don’t think twice, go to Schwangau and live days of royalty in this Fairytale Hotel at the Bavaria region.
