The hotel in Frauenau that feels like a second home
Put your rucksack down – and we don’t mean the one you use for hiking. We’re talking about the one filled with to-do lists, daily grind, and that nagging feeling that you never make enough time for yourself. Because at Hotel Eibl-Brunner in Frauenau, near the Bavarian Forest National Park, something happens that no travel brochure can describe: you come as a guest and leave as part of the family.
What awaits you at our hotel in Bavaria?
Home is where …
A breakfast buffet with everything your heart desires – and the Bavarian Forest greeting you from outside the window first thing in the morning.
Or let yourself be carried away by sound therapy at the Forest Spa. Both are correct. Both are fine.
Indoor pool, heated outdoor pool, relaxation room, or sunbathing area – find your favourite spot and let the stresses of everyday life simply wash away.
Game from our own hunts, herbs from the meadow next door – our kitchen team brings the very best of the region to the table.
Our favourite moments –
now yours, too
The climb up to Mt Grosser Rachel isn’t for the faint-hearted, but that’s exactly why it’s worth it. Once you reach the top, you’ll marvel at the Bavarian Forest stretching out below you and realise why we never wanted to leave this place. Stefan’s tip: set off early, pack a snack, and just sit in silence when you reach the top. The forest tells the rest of the story.
Frauenau thrives on its glassmaking tradition and a strong sense of community. Visit the Glass Museum and be amazed at just how much character a small town can have. Diana’s tip: it’s best to visit the Glass Gardens at sunset. When the light shines through the sculptures, it creates a magical effect.
The sauna area at our hotel in Frauenau regularly transforms into a place of ritual. The scent of herbs, warm stones, the gentle hissing of the infusion – and, for the truly brave, a quick dip in the ice fountain afterwards. Once you’ve enjoyed it, you’ll plan your days around these experiences.
Every evening, our kitchen team creates a menu that showcases the region’s produce. Featuring game from local hunts and herbs from the meadow next door – and for those who prefer plant-based options, vegan alternatives that aren’t just a compromise but take centre stage.
Forget everything you’ve read about forest bathing. With the forest programme at our hotel in Frauenau, the forest becomes your therapist. Mindful. Quiet. Transformative. After that, you’ll see the trees in a whole new light – and yourself, too. No vague promises, just tangible results.
Can’t wait to be here?

you’re coming home!
Walk barefoot through the dewy grass, take a dip in the heated outdoor pool, and then daydream on the sun terrace. In summer, the Bavarian Forest shows its magic: lush green hiking trails, crystal-clear air, and evenings when the sun sets so late that you lose track of time. Exactly what you needed.
Snowshoeing through the silent white landscape, cross-country skiing on 2,000km of trails, and then a visit to the sauna while the snowflakes fall outside. In the evening, the 5-course menu of our hotel in Frauenau will warm you from the inside, while the open fire warms you from the outside. Winter in the Bavarian Forest isn’t really a season. It’s a feeling.
While the children are splashing about in the indoor pool, exploring the woods, or tucking into the children’s menu until they’re full and happy, you can treat yourself and your loved one to some time out at the Forest Spa. No need to feel guilty – just enjoy spending time together, while also taking some time to yourselves now and then. Because home is where everyone feels at ease.
