The Hotel

The "Forsthaus" which has existed since 1907 has developed, within four generations in the hands of the Grotkopp family, from an outspan inn for horses and carriages, into an exquisite small family hotel at the outskirts of Luebeck.

Horst Grotkopp, the present owner who has been running the hotel since 1963 has added a new wing of 19 double rooms to the original house.

Its size allows guests to feel like friends still. The family-like atmosphere makes a lovely change to the sterility of the larger hotel chains..
 

Culture and Life

Luebeck the ancient town of the Hanse and world`s cultural heritage of the UNESCO links in a unique way the high cultural standards of this distinction with the advantages of a modern city. Known as the gateway to the North, it is the ideal starting point for excursions to Scandinavia, either via Europe's largest ferry harbour Luebeck/Travemuende or as the crow flies the famous "Vogelfluglinie".

 
Relaxation

You will definitely find relaxation, as right behind the "Forsthaus" you can get away from it all in a perfect rural ambience. Situated at the edge of the "Nature Reserve of the Lauenburg Lakes" you can, starting from the Forsthaus, discover this marvellous countryside by bicycle, by ship or in your own car at your leisure. Thanks to a quiet period of 40 years, situated at the edge of the former border to the GDR you will experience a flora and fauna unsurpassed which cannot be found anywhere else
