Have you ever dreamed of spending your vacation surrounded by legends, pristine nature, and the finest Alpine comfort? I’ve found just the place for you! Imagine dense forests, rugged cliffs, an ancient legend of a creature—half dragon, half serpent — and you? Right in the middle of it all! At the Feuriger Tatzlwurm Berghotel & Spa, you have the unique opportunity to stay where even dragons would feel right at home. Just an hour from Munich or Salzburg, you’ll find yourself
in the idyllic Bavarian town of Oberaudorf, surrounded by unforgettable natural beauty. With panoramic views of the Alps, a private lake, and vast woodlands at your doorstep, you’re immersed in greenery despite all the modern amenities nearby. To keep it that way, the hotel doesn’t just focus on wellness and comfort for guests—it is also deeply committed to sustainably caring for the beautiful surrounding nature. This “dragon hotel” won me over completely, and here’s why.
Sustainable Enjoyment
As mentioned before, the hotel takes as much care with its ecological footprint as it does with its guests. Here’s what kind of comfort you can expect—with an equally strong focus on sustainability.
Nature inspired: Enjoy Yourself with a Clear Conscience
Your hosts at the Feuriger Tatzlwurm Berghotel & Spa follow a holistic sustainable approach, partnering with regional suppliers for fresh, seasonal, and local goods. This goes beyond just the food—it also includes materials like the locally sourced wood used in the hotel’s construction. You can look forward to fruit grown on-site, a fully biological sewage treatment plant, heat recovery technology, and a centralized cooling system to prevent wasted energy. The completely renovated building proves that even historic structures can successfully embrace sustainability.
Invigorating Wellness in the Dragon Spa
Whether it’s fiery temperatures in steam rooms, whirlpools, and saunas or refreshing dips in a mountain stream, waterfall, or natural swimming pond, a wellness retreat at the DrachenSPA promises a truly magical escape. You can even relax at the eco-friendly mountain beach, the perfect place to just do nothing at all. Soar above it all with the dragon on cloud nine, while enjoying spectacular mountain views. The only thing that could top this? A treatment at the BeautyALM. All offers can be found here.
Culinary Delights
Dine in a 300-year-old hayloft? At the Feuriger Tatzlwurm Berghotel & Spa, that’s no problem. Hotel guests can enjoy a generous breakfast buffet and a five-course dinner menu, thanks to the half-board option. The restaurant is also open for á-la-carte guests. My personal highlight? The FeuerBAR, serving delicious drinks from noon until midnight and available as a private event venue.
Magical Events
Arguably some of the most beautiful event locations in Bavaria gather on the Tatzlwurm grounds. It’s no wonder—dragons are said to guard the greatest treasures, after all! Whether you’re celebrating a rustic evening with friends, a corporate event, or your wedding, the hotel grounds offer a variety of unique venues and programs that can be booked separately. Quick tip: reserve your spot now for the legendary New Year’s Eve party and witness the dragon fire live.
Feel at Home
You’ll feel truly cozy in the hotel’s rooms and suites. Whether you’re traveling as a family, solo, or with your camper van, there’s a place for you. For just 15 euro a day, you can even bring your own “room on wheels” and still enjoy full hotel comfort. Every hotel room is outfitted with regional natural materials and classic Bavarian style.
Year-Round Enjoyment
The Feuriger Tatzlwurm is worth a visit in any season—summer or winter. The hotel’s included services are just the cherry on top, but see for yourself!
Summer Highs
Mountain biking, hiking, or motorcycling—the Feuriger Tatzlwurm Berghotel & Spa is the perfect base for all. The hotel offers themed packages to inspire you and provides hiking equipment like poles and backpacks, as well as mountain bikes, free of charge.
The grounds feature a volleyball/badminton beach court and slacklines for the energetic, and for those looking to chill, a natural swimming lake and a pure spring water pool.
Winter Fun on the Slopes
Snowshoe hiking, sledding on the hotel’s own track, or powdery winter walks are just a sampling of what the Bavarian Alps offer in the magical winter months. The hotel’s location is great for your next ski vacation!
With the free Tatzlwurm shuttle, you’re just eight minutes away from Sudelfeld ski resort, a winter wonderland for families. Willing to travel 15–30 minutes? Try the Oberaudorf-Hocheck ski and sledding area or Spitzingsee-Tegernsee ski region. Bonus: You can reach Tirol in as little as 40 minutes.
A Sporting Highlight
Sure, most hotels have gyms. But how about a real boxing ring? The Fit & FightCLUB lets everyone—from beginners to seasoned athletes—get fired up in the ring. With equipment and a training partner provided, you don’t even need to bring much luggage or a personal trainer.
If you’re not packing your bags yet, you should be! Don’t miss out on this hotel highlight.
