A tranquil hideaway below the Zugspitze

Nestled in the heart of untouched nature, surrounded by gentle alpine meadows and quiet mountain forests, Das Kranzbach is a place where time seems to slow down. Here, crisp mountain air, sweeping landscapes, and profound tranquility come together to create an experience that restores both body and mind.

Das Kranzbach represents a new kind of retreat — contemporary, mindful, and deeply connected to the power of nature. Uninterrupted views of the alpine scenery create an atmosphere that brings calm while leaving space for reflection. Wellness is not simply offered here; it is woven into every moment.

Every moment becomes an invitation to reconnect with yourself — calm, clear, and fully present in the here and now. Das Kranzbach is more than a hotel. It is a feeling of deep connection to nature, stillness, and profound relaxation.

Das Kranzbach is set on a secluded plateau near Krün, close to Garmisch-Partenkirchen — surrounded by alpine meadows, forests, and the vastness of the mountains.

What makes this place so special is its intentional sense of seclusion: no through roads, no nearby bustle, no distractions.
Instead, nature in its purest and quietest form.

There is no fixed schedule here, no idea of how a day is supposed to unfold. What emerges follows your own rhythm.

Perhaps your day begins with a view of the mountains. Perhaps with stillness. Perhaps with movement.

Between the Karwendel and the Wetterstein Mountains lies a landscape that feels untouched — not curated, but naturally formed over time. Vast open spaces, ancient forests, and crystal-clear mountain air create an atmosphere that is quiet in presence, yet lasting in its effect.

Peace and stillness are not something offered here. They are the foundation of everything.

Originally built in 1913 by Mary Isabel Portman as a private country residence, Das Kranzbach today brings together this rich history with a sense of contemporary clarity: natural materials, open spaces, and seamless transitions between indoors and outdoors.

A particularly special place of retreat lies just above the main house: the Meditation House by Kengo Kuma — minimalist, quiet, and almost weightless among the trees.

Das Kranzbach is an adults-only retreat, created for those seeking peace and quiet without compromising on comfort.
A counterbalance to everyday life. A place that asks nothing of you — and in doing so, makes so much possible.
