Berggasthof Hotel Igelwirt, a recipient of the TripAdvisor GreenLeaders certification, is an exemplar of modern sustainable hospitality. This eco-friendly property proudly utilizes geothermal energy, an innovative renewable energy source. The structure of the hotel is thoughtfully constructed with materials from sustainable resources and employs triple-glazed windows to optimize indoor temperature, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. An ingenious rainwater collection system is in place, and the hotel also has a system for reusing wastewater after treatment.
This sustainability ethos extends to every corner of the property. From the use of non-toxic cleaning products to the implementation of a comprehensive waste management system, Berggasthof Hotel Igelwirt has incorporated eco-friendly practices into daily operations. This includes composting organic waste and separating other waste into three distinct categories. The property also functions as a zero-energy building, with the air conditioning and heating automatically switching off when windows are opened. Additionally, the hotel's restaurant takes pride in offering locally produced ingredients and a vegetarian alternative menu, reducing its carbon footprint while promoting diverse culinary experiences.
