History & Philosophy
Since 1879 the today’s location was home to a pub and a farm. Through marriage in 1916, the name was changed from Kuhlmann to Okelmann.
Today it still carries the name and is managed in the fifth generation by the family Okelmann. Annegret and Helmut are still involved in the hotel’ s operation, but have, however, put the responsibility in their daughter’s hands.
Coaching & Retreats
At a very early stage Maren and Kristin Okelmann have added the interplay of mankind and nature.
In seminars and trainings such as Reiki and sound massage they were allowed to experience oneness and focus on the beauty in and around them. .
Maren is a trained sound massage therapist and yoga teacher and passes on her knowledge in her courses and applications. The new yoga room can also be booked for retreats under external guidance.
