We are delighted that
Renchtalhütte is getting
more and more fans.
And not just amongst
hiking enthusiasts.
The opening of the
Renchtalhütte in 2003
was the fulfilment of
a dream for hotelier
Meinrad Schmiederer,
proprietor of the famous
Relais & Châteaux-Hotel
Dollenberg.
The visionary project got off
to a terrible start, though: his
plans for renovations and
remodelling went up in
smoke in the winter of 2001.
A disastrous fire presented
Meinrad Schmiederer with a
fait accompli.
True to his personal philoso-
phy, though – if you‘re going
to do something, do it pro-
perly – he spared no expense
or effort to make the rebuilt
hut as authentic as possible:
Beams from two hundred
year old barns were used for
the interior; the walls are
decorated with old-fashioned
skis in the good old hut tradi-
tion, and an antique tiled
stove offers cosy warmth. The
shingle-roofed hut lives and
breathes the flair of hearty
Black Forest hospitality.
Piece by piece – and with a lot
of enthusiasm and attention
to detail – the former
“summit station” of the
Rench Valley Ski and Hiking
Association was turned into
a gem in the Black Forest.
When asked about the con-
struction time, Meinrad
Schmiederer was happy to
praise the efforts of the parti-
cipating craftsmen. This uni-
que cooperation created a
Black Forest attraction much
beloved by all generations.
The view stretches across the
central Black Forest, over the
Rench
valley
to
the
“Dollenberg“, which beckons
guests from all the world
over.
Enjoy your leisure time in
peace and quiet while your
children have fun at the pet-
ting zoo or the adventure
playground!
Your guests will never forget
your event celebrated in this
unique environment. That is
just one reason why our
Renchtalhütte is enjoying
increasing popularity for par-
ties, anniversaries, weddings
and other celebrations. Ask
our service team about the
myriad of possibilities!
The Renchtalhütte can
also be reached by car
from various directions.
The Real Black Forest. Really Go
