Sustainability on Goldener Berg

Above it all. Totally myself.

With the awareness that, despite all measures, not all options have been exhausted and that new paths and methods are constantly emerging over the course of time, we are striving every day to incorporate more environmental awareness into our concepts. Our guests also contribute significantly to our vision. By using resources intentionally, they help us show true appreciation for our environment.

Appreciate the gifts

of our mother earth

and assure simultaneously

that you take as little as possible.

How we conserve resources.

  • Use of pure natural cosmetic products
  • Reduce water waste by utilizing flow-restricted fixtures
  • Avoiding plastic of all types e.g. we only use wooden ballpoint pens
  • Avoid disposable tableware and packaging
  • Development of a waste management concept, to properly separate waste
  • Dosing systems for cleaning, washing and dishwashing agents, using the eco-line of these products

The effect

We are making progress holistically.

The Goldener Berg has an effect beyond the moment. This is what many of our guests say, who have gained new strength from here. And it's easy for us to believe that when we see them here.

The Goldener Berg is a place of strength. A place that reminds people what it feels like to be whole. A place where people find harmony with themselves — and move on with new strength. At the very top. Completely me.
