What means “BIO”? Criteria for the healthy bio kitchen
What food is “bio” is clearly defined: Key aspects of animal husbandry are the renunciation of preventive medication, free-range husbandry as well as the exclusive feeding with 100% bio-feed. Vegetables, grapes, grain and field products may not be squirted with chemistry or be treated artificially for storage.
- Renunciation of chemical fertilizers in the hotel garden
- 100% natural makeup certificated in the spa area
- Eco Swimming Pond with Granderwasser
When the host family Schulze-Dieckhoff planned a swimming pool, it very soon became obvious that the decision could only be a natural swimming pond. Together with a landscape gardener the eco swimming pond was installed in the garden of the Biohotel Sturm and filled with pure, animated Granderwasser. The swimming and regeneration zone of the natural pond forms a small ecosystem in the midst of the extensive hotel facilities.
As a certified member of the BIO HOTELS the host family Schulz-Dieckhoff contributes to the strict criteria: 100% organic kitchen, organic cosmetics, use of natural building materials and materials for the ongoing renewal of the hotel, ecological management of the garden and the natural swimming pond.
Since November 2019, Biohotel Sturm is officially climate neutral. Additionally to the continuing effort to reduce carbon emissions, remaining emissions are being offset with projects in Uruguay and Ruanda.
