Naturhotel Forsthofgut

About

The history of the Forsthof estate goes back 400 years: In 1617 the Forsthof wasn't yet a five star hotel, but a simple forestry business and farm. Today, Christoph Schmucks runs the hotel in the fifth generation. Together with his wife Christina, his family and the entire team, Christoph works tirelessly to make the Forsthof estate a special destination for every guest. The hotel's philosophy stems from the Schmucks' childhood on a family farm: nature and its healing qualities guide the daily operations at Forsthof. The incredible surroundings of Leogang in SalzburgerLand are more than appropriate for the self-proclaimed "Nature Hotel." Whether it's in the depths of winter, or during the balmy summer months, Leogang is a playground for outdoorsy guests of all activity levels. Everything, from the hotel's decor to the in-house cuisine, has a connection with these pristine surroundings and the efforts in sustainability that are close to the Schmuck family's hearts.

The new waldSPA Lakehouse is a haven, natural light and pale woods creating a warm and calm ambience. The adults-only sanctuary, linked to the hotel and its original waldSPA via an underground passage, overlooks the expanded natural swimming lake. Three new treatment rooms, a stylish relaxation lounge with cosy fireplace, and 50 new recliners including waterbeds are perfectly positioned for optimum views. A standout feature is the new onsen-style pool (42°C) complemented by an authentic onsen washing area where traditional cleansing rituals are observed.

Concierge Tip

Take part in a special project run by the hotel and plant a tree on the expansive grounds. Choose the perfect place for your tree yourself and dig the hole in the ground. Don't forget to take a photo with your new "family member"! At the end, each sponsor receives a special certificate as a souvenir and a small thank you.
