Breathe fresh forest air, enjoy homemade culinary specialties, be surrounded by family cordiality - all this combines the Hotel Gastinger in Schmiedefeld am Rennsteig. The vacation idyll is located in the middle of the UNESCO biosphere reserve Thuringian Forest, just one kilometer from the Rennsteig.

The restaurant features lovingly laid tables with fresh meadow flowers. The homemade ceramic tableware immediately catches the eye. From the terrace and winter garden you can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the lush green meadows and wooded ridges.

Culinary visitors are treated to all kinds of specialties à la Gastinger, including homemade pasta, stone-baked bread made from natural sourdough, and house-pickled ham. A real culinary highlight is the weekend roast from the oven. Gastingers swear by the use of freshly collected wild herbs. They also serve delicious dishes such as wild herb salad with goat cheese or trout fillet in a bed of herbs.
