WELCOME TO THE COUNTRY TOUR

With our LANDPARTIE series of illustrated books, we have made it our business to explore beautiful places that make everyday life far away. We visited each of these destinations personally, met hosts who put all their heart and soul into ensuring that people feel comfortable and secure with them. Especially after this past year, we long for carefree vacation days.

We are very pleased that with our 22nd LANDPARTIE we have again succeeded in presenting individual refuges in dreamy places. Wherever you go - whether you are planning a country trip into the wonderful mountains of our Austrian or Swiss neighbors, prefer long walks on the beach on the German North and Baltic Sea coasts or love the magic of Provence - that ultimately only decides your own taste.

Spectacular landscapes, excellent cuisine, relaxing wellness pleasures and warm hospitality combine to form a perfect symbiosis in all of the houses presented. As with the Hotel 7132 in the Graubünden mountains. The five-star superior domicile run by the charming general manager Katrin Rüfenacht is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and eye-catching luxury design hotels in Switzerland.

The Original FX Mayr on Lake Wörthersee in Carinthia is a place of regeneration and renewal. The traditional hotel is one of the best health centers and also offers its guests a luxurious hotel service. In the tranquil community of Stuhlfelden in the Salzburg region, Theresia Bacher has been pampering with opulent culinary delights for years. Your Schwaigerlehen-Berngarten and the rustic, medieval Rauchkuchl are well known beyond the region and are well worth a visit. There is news to report from Schwarzenstein Castle: Star chef Nelson Müller opened a branch in one of the most beautiful domiciles in the republic and attracts gourmets from far and wide to the picturesque Rheingau. We wish you relaxing days and unforgettable holidays!

Description

Not only frequent travelers have realized that a hotel is much more than just a bed for the night. The hotels support with their individual restaurants the gourmandise in the country, provide for enjoyment and offer also the necessary basis for conferences and meetings, they care for wellness needs with cultivated spa areas - and the top hotels are at the same time “stages” for the society. But how does the guest find the star category that he considers appropriate and that is affordable for him? The hotel stars are hardly a real help. In many countries "self-baked", in Germany more real, but they do not reflect the service. In addition to having fun while reading, the reviews in this edition shall also be a little help for the choice of the right hotel.

It would go beyond any scope to put together the 2,500 hotels around the world that have been tested, rated and ranked by Heinz Horrmann. But the author's wish is that the readers appreciate this small selection of domiciles in Germany, Europe and the wider world. This informative and entertaining guide was created in cooperation with the Klocke Publishing House, who knows the upscale hotel industry worldwide like no other publisher in Europe.
