Hotel Gaststätte Rainhof Scheune

Welcome to the Rainhof Scheune hotel and restaurant, which combines tradition with modernity. The Rainhof with inn and barn as well as the preserved mill was built as early as 1790. It was on the most important historical route from France to Austria and is said to have served as a transformer station for the carriages before the route through the Höllental. With its approx. 2000 square meters, the barn - very well preserved in its historical substance - is one of the largest of its kind in southern Baden. The building and the protected rooms were renovated and expanded in accordance with the preservation of historical monuments, the historical character and the old structure of the barn were largely preserved. The rooms have been furnished with old and new elements to build a bridge between the past and the present. Since then, 14 themed rooms await you in our house, as well as two spacious suites and a wellness area with a fantastic view of the Black Forest. Brief descriptions of the individual rooms can be found under "Bookable objects", so here only this much: from playful to sporty, traditional, even poetic to family-friendly, rustic, luxurious and romantic, everything is included. If you are planning your stay as a self-caterer, you should opt for one of the two suites, as they each offer a small kitchenette or coffee / tea maker. Solo travelers are also welcome, because the double rooms can of course also be booked as single rooms. In the attic of the house you will find the wellness area (more information below), on the other side our large threshing floor. These can be rented from us for all kinds of celebrations. The room is technically well equipped and underlines the charm of the Rainhof barn with its impressive architecture and the fully glazed barn door. Our sun terrace is located by the small library on the first floor (more information below). Especially in the mornings & amp; Relax in the sun on our deckchairs at lunchtime or have a small snack. In May 2010 a gastronomy opened on the ground floor, our certified nature park restaurant with terrace and garden restaurant, which is open for you every day from 7.30 a.m. We also have a 450 square meter "market barn" with regionally manufactured designer furniture and feel-good products from regional producers, as well as a bookstore with home accessories, in the adjoining room of which readings, exhibitions and cultural events take place on a regular basis. An extraordinary piece of craftsmanship can also be admired in the market barn: an entire room made of silver fir wood. The creation of this timelessly beautiful object was made possible through the cooperation of 12 different craft businesses from the region. In the silver fir room, the advantages of living with this material can be experienced with all the senses.

As nature park hosts, we not only point out the special features of the southern Black Forest by using regional products, but also specifically support the local farmers. Because they maintain the varied diversity and uniqueness of the landscape with the management of the areas. For us it is of course seasonal & amp; To cook regionally and not to use any artificial flavor enhancers or "powders". Our nature park restaurant is open daily from 7:30 a.m. We offer fresh cuisine with regional ingredients from early morning to evening: the day starts with a varied breakfast (7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.), from 12 p.m. we pamper you with the classic menu, which includes salads, schnitzel or hash browns , but also the "Rainhof burger" with local beef and regional gourmet dishes. The range is complemented by regional and European wines. However, if you want to eat out, we can recommend a few restaurants here in Kirchzarten. For example, the Schlegelhof in a modern, rural style with a great view of the beautiful landscape and, during the warmer seasons, on the veranda or in the natural garden. With the compiled menus, the Baden traditional dishes - such as roast guinea fowl breast with chanterelle risotto - and fine dining - such as lamb carré with artichoke and spinach risotto - are interpreted in a contemporary way and created anew every day. The pilgrim restaurant St. Laurentius is located on the Giersberg and offers a view of the Dreisamtal. It offers soups, poultry, game, vegetarian and some regional specialties as well as meat salads called "Vespers". There are also regularly changing menus and wines from the region. With its French ambience, the Très Jolie restaurant combines Baden and Mediterranean gastronomy. Fresh and unusual cuisine is the focus there, in addition to the "Gnocchi Jolie", special soups and delicious salads, there is also the pinsa - an archetype of pizza from ancient Rome - in creative variations. Various cocktail creations are also waiting at the bar.

Our hotel offers its own wellness area, so you can relax inside the hotel, but not get bored. In our wellness area on the top floor of the house, a breathtaking space awaits you, in which you can enjoy the view of the loungers through the Black Forest panorama window and spend cozy hours in front of the fireplace. The loft-like cut rooms invite you to linger, here you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and can relax. In the separate sauna area you will find a sauna with a light gable, a steam bath, a wooden tub and various showers. The wellness experience is complemented by massages and cosmetics by Anneka Stauder. Spiritual nourishment and a quiet place to browse undisturbed can be found in the "Bookstore in the Rainhof Scheune". Sometimes events such as readings, literary meetings or reading festivals for children take place here. In addition to books, our shop also has beautiful furniture and accessories for indoors and outdoors But if you want to have the bookstore all to yourself, you can let yourself be locked in - that's right: after making an appointment, we will lock you up in the bookstore for a "late harvest" after work - of course not without a bottle of Prosecco and to have nibbles available - and at 10 p.m. we open up and let you go into the night enriched with literature. On the ground floor of the Rainhof Scheune, you can find the first Marktscheune nature park in the southern Black Forest since July 2016. This offers many young, creative manufacturers in the region an ideal platform to present their products and celebrate the culinary culture of the southern Black Forest. So you can try some of the products on offer in the adjoining bistro. When you have relaxed enough and gathered energy, you can also explore the surrounding area, for example while collecting porcini mushrooms in the Engenwald, on the sporty hike to the Hinterwaldkopf summit with Nordic walking trainer Anke Faller, on the two nearby jogging and Nordic walking laps, or on one our bikes. We have two e-bikes and two "normal" bikes. If you stay in a Velo or Black Forest room, these are included in the room rate. If the rooms are not occupied or the bikes are not used by their residents, other guests can also have them. Otherwise we can book some for you through the company Wunderle (Tel. +49 7661 93 44 55). An unconventional way to explore Freiburg or the Dreisamtal is with a Segway. The guided tours also start from the Rainhof barn. We are happy to take care of you with flyers and travel guides with directions for tours in the area. There are also some offers for other guided hikes - a highlight is the llama trekking with a llama from the quiet farm of the Maier family in Dietenbach - or bike tours. Just talk to us about it ! In winter, snow-covered forests and peaks, powder snow on slopes and cross-country trails as well as unique views await you here in the Dreisamtal. There are opportunities for skiing, snowshoeing, winter hiking, starry sky or floodlit skiing and après-ski. The Schauinsland mountain station, for example, can be easily reached by toboggan lift at the Flammhof in Hofsgrund. For skiers and snowboarders we recommend the slopes in Hofsgrund, Notschrei and on the Feldberg, for cross-country skiers the Nordic Center Notschrei, the Haldenloipe and the Thurnerspur, which is considered to be the most beautiful cross-country ski run in Germany. If you don't have your own equipment, we can also recommend renting snowshoes, skis and boards. In our parish of Kirchzarten, on the Hofgut Himmelreich, there is the Jakobus chapel, which was probably built before 1500 and is located on the Way of St. James. In addition, the new town hall is housed in the Talvogtei, a former moated castle of the Freiburg bailiffs from the 17th century. Further parts of the administration, a citizens' hall and a modern media library are housed in the neighboring historic barns. More famous, however, is the parish church of St. Gallus, where Kuno von Falkenstein, the former lord of Kirchzarten, has been buried since the 14th century. At the Fortuna inn, a wooden plate and a bricked-in stone reminds us that the devil himself threw a stone at Kuno, but is said to have missed it. The city of Freiburg is not far from us and offers many sights. In the historic old town are the Münster, the symbol of Freiburg, the southeast corner of the Münsterplatz with its historical department store, the Wentzingerhaus, the Alte Münsterbauhütte - the oldest preserved building in the old town with a timber frame - and the Alte Wache as well as the two medieval city gates, Martinstor and Schwabentor . Between the western edge of the old town and the main train station there are also interesting buildings from different eras, such as the so-called Colombischlössle, which today houses the city's archaeological museum. In the square of the Old Synagogue, residents meet on summer nights in a Mediterranean atmosphere. The Schauinsland is the “local mountain” of the city; the show mine located in it gives an insight into ore mining, which was carried out here from the Middle Ages until the middle of the 20th century. The Freiburg Botanical Garden was founded in 1620, making it one of the first in Germany. On an area of 1.5 hectares, the living flora contains a total of 5,000 plant species, which are divided into 21 departments and 3 greenhouses with different biotopes. The Seepark in the district of Betzenhausen is the former site of the state horticultural show in 1986. It consists of a total of around 35 hectares of local recreation area with an approximately 10 hectare artificial lake, the Flückigersee. In the north-east is the 15-meter-high lake park tower, in the west a 3600 square meter Japanese garden, and on the south-western shore of the lake there are temples. Last but not least, the Schlossberg is a 460 meter high, now mostly forested mountain in the urban area of Freiburg, directly accessible on foot from the old town. From the Schlossberg tower you have a panoramic view of all parts of the city and its surroundings. Also on the local vineyards, which whet the appetite for a Baden drop. And in bad weather there is the Keidel Mineral Thermal Bath, which offers a wellness area of over 6,000 square meters with sauna, fitness and various therapies as well as thermal, adventure, outdoor and swimmer pools.
