Hotel "Siebenstern"

Description

Quiet, family hotel garni with cozy inn with kitchen garden in approx 300 m distance in the traffic-calmed village center of Bischofsgrün.

Our hotel garni is located on a quiet south-facing slope at the quiet end of Bischofsgrün. All rooms with shower/WC, TV and separate south or west balcony. With our barrier-free tourism concept, especially for blind and visually impaired guests, which was developed in cooperation with my blind brother and my sister-in-law Waltraud (also blind), we are always trying to provide visually impaired and blind people a largely independent vacation here with us in Bischofsgrün.
