Berlin's Hotel Krone & Lamm is very nicely located in Zavelstein next to the picturesque ruins of a…read moremediaeval castle. It belonged once to the knights of Zavelstein and there is still an impressive tower with a height of 28 m which survived French destruction. We use to accomodate company visitors there and the very best time to visit Zavelstein is certainly crocus blossom. The Lamm offers rooms with lovely panorama view across Black Forest fir trees to the Teinach valley, while the Krone has rooms with market place view and some with castle view. There are several gemuetliche restaurant premises Die Kronenstube, Die Wirtschaft, Das Ofenstüble, Das Kaminzimmer, and Der Sandsteingewölbekeller (the crown, the saloon, the stove room, at the fireplace, sandstone vault cellar) where there are local specialities served as for instance trouts, swabian maultaschen, swabian hand-made spätzle, and not to forget famous Black Forest licquors, but also excellent international dishes. A real Zavelstein Knight Meal providing mediaeval food conducted by a master of ceremonies would be another attraction for groups. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte with tea or coffee is a pleasure in the afternoon. The Lamm has a beautiful spa and highspeed WLAN is available everywhere.
