Schlosshotel Rühstädt

In the European Stork Village of Rühstädt, directly in the UNESCO Elbe-Brandenburg Biosphere Reserve in Prignitz, this lovingly restored castle hotel combines wellness with authentic Brandenburg natural romance. Those looking to escape everyday life will find Ayurveda, a sauna, and four-poster beds with castle park views here.
Schlosshotel Rühstädt: Wellness in historic walls
A castle from 1782, a village with more storks than inhabitants, and a wellness area that surprisingly accommodates a lot within a small space. This is how the Schlosshotel Rühstädt in Prignitz can be summarized. The hotel is located only about 500 meters from the Elbe, directly on the southern Elbe Cycle Path in the UNESCO Elbe-Brandenburg River Landscape Biosphere Reserve. The location alone is therefore an argument.
The castle hotel offers 14 large and individually furnished rooms, all equipped with shower or bathtub, LED TV, and WLAN. Each has its own charm. The romantic rooms facing the park are equipped with a four-poster bed. If you want to immerse yourself particularly deeply in the castle atmosphere, you should ask for such a room. Both the rooms and the reception hall are stylishly furnished and appear pleasantly authentic, not artificially nostalgic.
Wellness, Ayurveda and the tranquility of the Elbe floodplains
When it comes to wellness, Schlosshotel Rühstädt scores with a surprisingly versatile offer. In the beauty and wellness area, guests can expect relaxation for body and soul with a sauna, steam sauna, solarium, and relaxation room. Those who want to relax more deeply can book one of the numerous treatments: Ayurvedic treatments, burnout prevention, massages, and an aroma oil bath are available. Grape seed peeling, multivitamin packs, and Gharshan silk glove massage can also be booked. All treatments can be booked individually or as a complete day program.
If you still have energy after the massage: The Bad Wilsnack thermal spa is only 8 km away and easily accessible by rental bike. It is also worth taking a ride on the Elbe Cycle Path, because where the Elbe and Havel flow together, a natural floodplain landscape invites you to peace and relaxation as well as an active stay in nature. Those arriving between May and August should also treat themselves to a guided tour through the stork village, where, with a bit of luck, you can observe the storks flying in.
