Minister Jung particularly praised the sustainable construction and responsible use of natural resources: "The extensive use of wood and the natural architecture are exemplary for future-oriented tourism."

Large windows, clean lines, lots of wood and natural materials characterise the design. The restaurant WALD.FEIN with head chef Falk Richter focuses on regional ingredients and innovative interpretations – accompanied by top wines from the Rheingau region. With its quiet but well-connected location near Wiesbaden, Mainz and Frankfurt, WALD.WEIT is aimed at both individual guests and organisers of larger events and conferences. The combination of nature, architecture, enjoyment and accessibility makes it a new flagship for sustainable luxury tourism in the heart of the Rheingau.
