“Hotel Das Ruebezahl earns its reputation through peerless castle views, which many rooms showcase directly. I'm particularly drawn to its inventive, Gault&Millau-recognized dining, and the exclusive mountain hut experience promises a singular culinary adventure. The wellness garden and natural swimming pond certainly set this Schwangau spa hotel apart, perfect for a romantic and restorative escape.”
