Hotel in the Schorfheide
The Schorfheide
The Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve is one of the largest protected areas in Germany: beech forests, moors, more than 200 lakes. The Fontane Hotel sits right in the middle of it, on the shore of the Werbellinsee.
Biosphere reserve
Schorfheide-Chorin has been protected by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve since 1990. Old beech forests, pine heaths, moors and lakes form a landscape that is home to white-tailed eagles, cranes and beavers. The Werbellinsee is its largest lake.
Forest at the door
Paths lead straight from the hotel into the forest: to the Askanierturm tower, to Joachimsthal, to Hubertusstock hunting lodge. Rental bikes are available at the boat hire next door, maps at reception.
Culture nearby
