About Naturhotel Forsthofgut *****

The history of the Forsthof estate goes back 400 years: In 1617 the Forsthof wasn't yet a five star hotel, but a simple forestry business and farm. Today, Christoph Schmuck runs the hotel in the fifth generation. Together with his wife Christina, his family and the entire team, Christoph works tirelessly to make the Forsthofgut estate a special destination for every guest. The hotel's philosophy stems from the Schmucks' childhood on a family farm: Nature and its healing qualities guide the daily operations at Forsthofgut. The incredible surroundings of Leogang in SalzburgerLand are more than appropriate for the self-proclaimed "Nature Hotel." There is no interest in higher, further or faster. The focus lies on traditions and consciously experiencing special moments.

The waldSPA Lakehouse is a haven, with natural light and pale woods creating a warm and calm ambience. The adults-only sanctuary, linked to the hotel and its original waldSPA via an underground passage, overlooks the expanded natural swimming lake. Three treatment rooms, a stylish relaxation lounge with a cosy fireplace, and recliners including waterbeds are perfectly positioned for perfect views. A standout feature is the onsen-style pool (42°C) complemented by an authentic onsen washing area where traditional cleansing rituals are observed.
