Sustainability at Hotel Romantischer Winkel
If we are not careful, our world will no longer be as we know it today in a few years. That is why people are becoming more and more aware of the importance of separating waste, recycling objects or using public transport... We also care about the earth and that is why we in the Romantic Corner are committed to climate-friendly measures to minimize any environmental impact.
RoWi plants the future
With our project "RoWi plants the future" we want to take another step towards a more sustainable future. Our goal is to reforest up to 10,000 trees in our local forests every year. Be a part of "RoWi plants the future" and actively support us. How does that work? For every time we forego intermediate cleaning, we plant a tree.
Combined heat and power plant - WE PRODUCE OUR OWN ENERGY!
A CHP plant is a modular system for generating electrical energy and heat. It uses the principle of combined heat and power. With their performance, we are able to generate around 417,166 kWh of electricity ourselves each year, of which around 3,500 kWh are fed into the public grid after our own consumption. This alone saves the hotel around 230 tons of CO² per year. 49.3% of the additional energy purchased from external suppliers counts as green electricity.
Regional food - WE FOCUS ON FAIR TRADE!
Some of the food we use comes from local shops or from producers in the region. This includes meat and sausage products, fresh fruit and vegetables, home-grown herbs, bread and baked goods, honey and home-distilled spirits. Products such as sugar and tea also come from fair trade.
Modern technology - ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS IMPORTANT!
In addition to the hotel's own CHP plant, our building technology includes a modern cold storage system, the waste heat of which keeps the hotel driveway and the terrace area by the outdoor pool free of snow and ice in winter. In addition, an energy-saving ventilation system for the kitchen, SPA and restaurant with heat recovery and adiabatic cooling ensures air conditioning with the help of evaporative cooling. Our high-efficiency pumps in the heating rooms provide heating power as required with their automatic control.
Environmental protection - WE VALUE SUSTAINABILITY!
All of the lighting technology in the building consists of modern LED technology, which means we can save up to 60% on electricity in the lighting area. There are also three e-charging stations for electric cars and other electric vehicles in the resort car park (approx. 120 meters from the hotel). We offer a charging option for e-bikes and e-scooters directly at the hotel. In addition, when purchasing new devices such as washing machines, etc., we pay meticulous attention to low-consumption operation.
Viabono® certification - WE HAVE BEEN AWARDED!
The Romantic Corner has been officially certified as a particularly environmentally friendly hotel by Viabono®, the sustainability certifier in the travel and tourism industry. This means it has been designated as a "climate-friendly hotel". With the help of an extensive evaluation process, in addition to all water, natural gas and electricity consumption, the number of overnight stays and meals, the number and origin of all drinks, the proportion of regional and fairly traded food, and the amount of detergent and waste were recorded. In many areas, we are significantly better than comparable hotels in the same star class.
