The WALDGUT Nature Resort is currently under construction. We will be opening our doors to you from Easter 2026.

WALDGUT

Philosophy

5 host families – one favourite place

At the end of 2021, five families deeply connected to their homeland, joined forces. Since then, they have been passionately pursuing a shared vision: creating a place of experiences that inspires people and sparks joy.

In harmony with nature, a favourite place has been created whose energy can be felt by our guests, bringing a sense of wellbeing and belonging to all who visit..

A retreat that offers peace and relaxation, but also space for discovery and adventure in the unique landscape of Saxon Switzerland.
A warm welcome to WALDGUT!

Our Logo

Triquetra: Body, Mind and Soul

The triquetra knot in the WALDGUT logo is far more than a graphic element., it symbolises the deep connection between body, soul and mind. At the same time it represents the philosophy of WALDGUT: a life in harmony with oneself, with nature and with the community. Its rounded, flowing form reflects the cyclical principle of life. A symbol of wholeness, harmony and togetherness.

At the heart of the knot lies a stylised “W”. It stands for WALDGUT and forms the root from which the triquetra grows. This “W” is the foundation of the symbol, flanked to the left and right by mirrored “L” shapes for Langenhennersdorf. Together these elements unite into a symbol that takes root, connects and grows – just like WALDGUT itself. A place of mindfulness, connection and vibrant exchange.

Sustainability

Close to the Forest – WALDGUT

It’s in our name and it’s what we embody throughout the WALDGUT Nature Resort. Naturally nature.

“For those who respect nature’s perfection, it grants strength for as long as life endures.”
Environmental awareness at our resort means, among many other aspects: heat generation through woodchip and solar heating, our own water source, strict waste separation, tree planting, and regional restaurant products.

We love nature!
Nature is an incomparable phenomenon, a miracle of harmony between flora and fauna, and a living role model for us. At WALDGUT you can feel this bond with nature – just as we live it! Discover it for yourself, whether alone or with your family, whenever you immerse yourself in nature, experience it, and take it with you.
Welcome to a place of strength.

History

We love
nature!

WALDGUT was founded with the vision of creating a harmonious connection between nature and refined comfort.

We are deeply committed to environmental protection and offer our guests unforgettable experiences amidst the breathtaking landscape of Saxon Switzerland.

In earlier times, the historic buildings and surrounding meadows marked the beginning of the Waldgut story – a place that shaped memories and nature experiences for generations. It has always been a place of energy and retreat for families.

Today, WALDGUT remains the heart of our nature resort – and continues to grow into a new home for all who seek relaxation, a closeness to nature, and meaningful connection.

Honey

WALDGUT Honey – A piece of nature to enjoy

Sweet, golden, and infused with the aroma of the surrounding nature – our honey comes from our very own beehives right here in the WALDGUT garden.
The bees gather nectar from the neighbouring forest and meadows, capturing the true flavour of the region in every jar.

Enjoy our honey at the breakfast buffet or take a jar home with you – a little piece of WALDGUT to savour yourself or to give as a thoughtful gift.
A special highlight: on selected dates we invite you to join us for the honey harvest. Experience first-hand how our honey is made – from hive to jar – and even lend a hand if you wish.
