THE FUCHS FAMILY – DEDICATED TO HOSPITALITY
In 1705, our guesthouse was mentioned for the first time in a document of the St. Trudpert monastry. This states that: “The house is to be the parish inn and location in upper Münstertal, in which weddings, church inaugurations, carnival and new years’ celebrations are to be held.” The abbot at the time could hardly begin to imagine what the consequences of this would be.
For more than 156 years, we have been very joyfully following in the footsteps of this tradition – over the centuries, a previously inconspicuous guesthouse has turned into a cozy, sophisticated country and holiday hotel in an exquisite setting, and is now run by the sixth generation of owners.
“The Fuchs family from the Romantic Hotel Spielweg in the Black Forest has been managing change successfully for an impressive 156 years.”

What’s more, he provides a special service called “Rent a Zorro”: During your next stay you can simply take Zorro along on your next hike. He loves really long walks and looks forward to receiving an affectionate cuddle from time to time!
PINO FUCHS
is our young Australian shepherd and belongs to Viki & Johannes. He can do loads of tricks and loves going for walks with plenty of stick-throwing. He jumps straight into every stream or puddle he comes across because water is his favourite place to be besides his basket.
