Ecological sustainability in the "Hotel Am Bühl"
It is our task, our ambition and our central goal to make our contribution
to protect the climate through sustainable and resource-conserving business practices!
Our sustainable initiatives:
Energy efficiency
We rely on renewable energies and modern technologies to minimize our energy consumption. Generating our own electricity through our modern combined heat and power station and our photovoltaic system. As well as our energy-efficient LED lightning help to reduce our ecological footprint. Our hotel rooms are equipped with digital heating control, which reduces CO2 emissions thanks to efficient use of energy. In addition, we purchase green electricity, wich is generated 100% from renewable energies.
Regional sourcing of food products
Our kitchen team sources many ingredients and goods from regional suppliers in order to support local producers and reduce transportation distances. For example: our cheese selection comes from the "Rößler-Hof" in Burkhardtsdorf, our eggs from the "Weber" poultry farm in Schönberg and our baked goods from "Voigtbäck" bakery in Eibenstock. The honey & jam selection is sourced from "Honig-Hof Göken". Our guests can also enjoy natural apple juice from " Naturherberge Affalter " for breakfast.
Water consumption
Through water-saving measures such as the use of aerators and shower heads, we reduce water consumption and conserve valuable resources. When it comes to cleaning, we rely on environmentally friendly cleaning agents and the use of dry steam cleaners.
Reducing waste and recycling
We separate and recycle consistently. We use environmentally friendly packaging to reduce single-use plastic and recycling bins are available throughout the hotel. The reduction of food waste is particularly important to us.
Charging options for e-cars & e-bikes
For our guests with an electric or hybrid car, two charging stations with four charging points are available directly at the hotel. Charging is based on consumption. Our active guests can charge their e-bike free of charge at two charging stations while enjoying a cup of coffee or a piece of cake. These are each equipped with two permanently integrated cables & the most common charging plugs for e-bikes (Bosch, Shimano, Yamaha, Rosenberger) as well as a Schuko socket.
Use of regional building materials
For new investments, we rely on environmentally friendly, sustainable materials, such as natural wood from local forests.
