The Four Chalets
The approx. 120-year-old Herrihof forms the centre of the roughly 7,000 m² estate – on an elevated southern slope with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain panorama.
Following a complete renovation of the country hotel at the end of 2010, our four chalets were added to the Herrihof complex in 2011: natural log houses, built using traditional craftsmanship from untreated Douglas firs, each with space for up to eight people.
Handmade for centuries, the natural log house is the original form of the log cabin. Crucially, every log used is carefully selected, individually measured and peeled by hand. During the subsequent processing of these massive tree trunks (here Douglas firs from the higher elevations of the Black Forest), each one is laid individually, preserving the natural shape of the trunk. The method is based on age-old tradition, further developed above all in Canada.
Untreated logs have excellent biological properties. Thanks to their outstanding diffusion and absorption capacity, a natural indoor climate is created, i.e. the logs regulate humidity and room temperature better than any air conditioning system ever could. Environmental pollutants are bound to the surface of the log and neutralised – electrostatic charging is also prevented.
The WHO (World Health Organization) states: „Wood strengthens the human immune system“. The TÜV certifies excellent air quality, which is also beneficial for allergy and asthma sufferers. In addition, this ecological method of construction sustainably protects the environment and our resources.

Description
Our four natural log chalets with a beautiful mountain panorama offer approx. 96 m² of space for 1–8 people.
