The half-timbered Schieferhof house was built in 1907; today, it combines old-time charm with youthful spirit. Individually and lovingly designed rooms, a small wellness area, modern seminar rooms and exquisite cuisine draw guests to a region that has always been very attractive for recreation and tourism. The Thuringian Forest, especially the region around Neuhaus am Rennweg, offers plenty of opportunities to be active in nature or simply to relax and unwind. But the area also harbors many things to enjoy in terms of culture and technical history, having given rise to a diverse glass, porcelain and toy industry. For example, the Christmas ball ornaments from nearby Lauscha are world-famous – and inspired the hotel’s new name: “Schieferhof - GlasLUST”. Hotel Schieferhof has been run by the husband-wife duo of Lutz Michael Horn and Rita Worm-Horn along with their son Robert Worm since the mid-nineties. The new owners and operators are Lutz Lange, Martin Lüders and Stine Michel. (hw)
