The lake in winter
Between November and March the Werbellinsee lies still. On clear days the forest stands black against a pale sky; on others mist hangs over the water until noon.
The circular trail is free, the boats are ashore, the lawn lies white or brown. Whoever comes now comes for the quiet. In hard winters the lake freezes at the shore, as in February 2026.
The sauna
The Finnish sauna of the house is open to hotel guests by prior booking, to day guests for €15 per two hours.
The routine most guests choose: a walk along the shore to the Askanierturm, back through the forest, sauna, mulled wine on the winter terrace, dinner at Theodors. The next morning the same in a different order.
The Winter Magic package
Two nights with breakfast, sauna included, mulled wine on the winter terrace, dinner at Theodors. Bookable after the winter break until March.
