"Germany is home to multiple climate-neutral hotels, but Naturresort & Spa Schindelbruch, opened in 2009, was the very first. This wellness-focused luxury resort was constructed on the foundations of an old hunting lodge in the Harz Mountains, now part of a large biosphere reserve popular with cyclists and hikers. A natural spring nearby underpins the resort’s water supply, sourcing a large thermal pool and a series of saunas and steam baths, and the restaurant serves seasonal cuisine paired with wines from ecologically responsible wineries." - Tablet Hotels
