Self Description

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Upper Palatinate, surrounded by water, meadows, and forests, lies the Spa & Genuss Resort Birkenhof. A place to relax and recharge in the heart of nature. To ensure this remains the case in the future, the resort is committed to sustainability, environmental protection, and supporting the region.

The two-star restaurant Eisvogel exudes understated elegance, providing the ideal setting to savor Sebastian Obendorfer’s highly acclaimed creations. The multi-award-winning star chef focuses on absolute freshness and high-quality ingredients. Together with sommelier Miriam Mette, they create new worlds of culinary delight—from exceptional wine pairings to a uniquely conceived non-alcoholic pairing alternative.

Well-being is guaranteed in the inviting spa oases. The spacious pool area, the hot tub, the plunge pool, and the sensory shower world round out the experience perfectly. Several saunas, relaxation rooms, and quiet zones promise peace and relaxation. A spacious outdoor area featuring a year-round heated outdoor pool with loungers and a sprawling indoor area delights water lovers and captivates with artfully decorated elements and colors. Customized treatments, high-quality skincare rituals, and the special tranquility of the surroundings create ideal conditions for lasting relaxation. The newly introduced Maderotherapy massage, various Dermadrop treatments, and other therapies complement the already extensive range of massages, cosmetic treatments, and Ayurvedic therapies. The combination of nature, exercise, and regeneration makes the Birkenhof a place where slowing down is more than just a promise.

It is precisely this diversity that makes the Birkenhof today far more than just a wellness hotel or gourmet restaurant. It is a place for connoisseurs, golfers, those seeking relaxation, and travelers who want to discover something special away from the big cities.
