A taste of island life on Lake Constance

The Hirschen Horn Wellness Retreat

There is something enchanting about islands. They are like a world of their own. At their core, they are full of wonder and shelter. On their shores, they offer freedom and expansive views. You don’t have to travel to distant lands to experience this island feeling—it’s right here in our own backyard. On the western shore of Lake Constance, on the picturesque Höri Peninsula, the Hirschen Horn wellness retreat wonderfully captures exactly this magic. A protective ensemble of suites, spa, and indulgence on one side, an idyll of water, nature, and open space on the other.

For over 200 years and now in its seventh generation, the Hirschen has been situated in one of the most beautiful locations on Lake Constance. What began as an inn with just a few guest rooms has been expanded in recent years by the Amann family with a delicate touch and great love into an exclusive haven of indulgence and wellness. Modern rooms and suites, a 1,000 m² spa, and two restaurants—including the legendary inn serving Baden-style gourmet cuisine and the Untersee Stube, which focuses on light Mediterranean fare—make up the offering. This elegant setting is enhanced by hosts who have turned their profession into a calling and embody genuine warmth. “A day without laughter is a day not lived” is the motto of senior manager Karl Amann and charmingly captures the spirit of the hotel: an uncomplicated lightness that complements the hotel’s first-class comfort. Guests at the Hirschen include couples and friends who share a love of fine dining and gather for wellness, golf, hiking, or cycling, as well as solo travelers who enjoy time to themselves while still appreciating the harmony of community. Guests gather at Charly’s Bar for an aperitif or digestif or share in guided activities such as mindfulness walks, wellness seminars (including those based on the teachings of Hildegard von Bingen), or organized exercise sessions (including Liebscher & Bracht).

For a retreat in this wellness sanctuary, guests have access to comfortable single and double rooms in a modern style as well as exclusive suites. All room categories feature high-quality amenities, are generously sized, and offer free Wi-Fi. The suites include, among other amenities, two bedrooms or a private spa featuring a Finnish sauna, a private whirlpool tub, and open fireplaces.

The InselSpa, with a 1,000 m² wellness area and a vast island garden bordering directly on Lake Constance’s nature reserve, meets the highest wellness standards. Guests can enjoy a 27-meter-long, 30°C infinity pool comprising connected indoor and outdoor pools, three spacious saunas, a spa lounge, and various relaxing retreats and treatment rooms. Active guests can build muscle and endurance in the large fitness room—some of which offers lake views—or start their jogging, walking, or cycling routes right outside the front door.

Gourmet delights are also a highlight of the Hirschen’s island ambiance. The kitchen teams at both restaurants serve top-tier dishes featuring local Lake Constance ingredients. The traditional inn offers hearty Baden-style cuisine: Spätzle, roasts, and stews—mostly sourced from the family-owned butcher shop—as well as fish from Lake Constance and desserts to delight the palate. The Untersee Stube is reserved exclusively for hotel guests. In addition to the daily breakfast buffet, vacationers enjoy a five-course Mediterranean menu every evening in an elegant atmosphere. Vegetarian alternatives are always available, and fine wines can be paired upon request, as the Hirschen’s wine list features exquisite selections from Baden to Europe.

Those who wish to enhance their stay with excursions can explore the region’s islands. Mainau, Reichenau, or the trio of Werd islands on the neighboring Swiss side promise year-round nature-filled experiences and a relaxing retreat for the mind. Not far away, three golf courses, numerous hiking and biking trails, and—in the summer—Lake Constance boat trips to Constance or Radolfzell also beckon.

Whether alone, as a couple, or with friends, the Hirschen Horn wellness retreat on Lake Constance is a place brimming with island vibes. Those seeking peace and pleasure will find both here. Surrounded by a warm and welcoming family that even inspired bestselling author Gaby Hauptmann to write her new series of novels.
