The natural environment of the Black Forest is our most valuable asset – the clear air, the lush meadows, the cool woodland, and all the diverse species that live in them. The people of the region take care of this landscape and keep its customs and traditions alive.
For generations now, our goal at the Ludinmühle has been not only to satisfy you as our guest, but to go one step further and delight you. Your personal wellbeing is close to our heart. We create a family atmosphere in our 4 star Superior hotel & spa in the Black Forest – somewhere you can really feel at home. Let yourself be pampered by our friendly and approachable team.
To safeguard our values in the long term and to preserve them for future generations, we are committed to sustainable management. We combine tradition and innovation.
Here at the Ludinmühle 4 star Superior hotel we are committed to sustainable management. This means maintaining active awareness of the environment and of the quality of service we provide, and developing our employees. This is evident, for example, in our:
Sustainable use of energy and materials
- Our pools are heated via a CO2-neutral wood chip heating system. The wood comes from a neighbouring sawmill and is thus locally sourced.
- The system supplies all environmentally friendly, cost‑effective and sustainable heat not only to the Ludinmühle but also to several neighbouring houses, the former school, the fire station and the church in Brettental.
- We use certified green energy, which is generated by hydropower in Iffezheim.
- We also have an in‑house photovoltaic system which enables us to generate our own energy, and which supplies most of the energy needed to run our laundry.
- The sauna cabin in the garden was built with natural wood from our own woodland.
- The organic hay in our hay beds is locally produced.
Use of regional products for sustainable cuisine
In the kitchen at our gourmet hotel in the Black Forest, we place particular emphasis on regional products.
- Our venison and wild boar come from animals caught on our own grounds.
- We source products such as beef, pork, spelt bread and schnapps from an organic farm within the Black Forest.
- Our wild herbs come from the Zimmermann family, who are relatives of our hotel manager.
- Our head chef Hilda Bühler bakes cakes and tortes according to traditional family recipes.
- Many of our 280 different wines come from the region (Markgräflerland, Breisgau, Ortenau, Pfalz).
- We consciously buy products from regional businesses so as to avoid excessive food miles and respect the environment.
Sustainable work for local people in the region
Every year we train apprentices in all aspects of hotel management. We place great value on training and support for our younger stay
