Erich Schwingshackl brings gourmet cuisine to the Naturhotel Rebling!
In picturesque Bernried, nestled in the Bavarian Forest, Erich Schwingshackl and his wife Katharina have created a small culinary oasis. The “Naturhotel Rebling” is not only a retreat for nature lovers, but also a place where gourmets can go on a taste journey of discovery. The FAZ reports that the hotel is surrounded by a particularly beautiful landscape that not only invites you to take romantic walks, but also offers a wonderful view of the plain near Deggendorf. Local animals cavort in the attached game reserve, and an inviting pond creates a calming atmosphere.
But what would a nature hotel be without a suitable culinary offering? This is where Schwingshackl's philosophy comes into play. He follows a natural cuisine that avoids clichéd “organic” presentations and instead scores points with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The dishes not only reflect Schwingshackl's roots, but also his love for local cuisine. From “Carpaccio of grass-fed beef with wild boar, Parmesan and lime oil” for 15.50 euros to “South Tyrolean Alpine ox braised in Lagrein with mashed potatoes and root vegetables” for 23.50 euros – the dishes are a true homage to traditional recipes enriched by creative elements. Nature Hotel Rebling highlights that the “Heimatküche” was also awarded a Bib Gourmand for its excellent price-performance ratio.
A look into the gourmet restaurant
For all those who love something special, the attached gourmet restaurant “Schwingshackl Esskultur” offers an exquisite selection of dishes. Dishes like the “Bisque with Norwegian scallop and papaya” or the “Breton monkfish with fennel, tarragon, Pommery mustard and cherry tomatoes” are examples of the balanced flavors that Schwingshackl masters so masterfully. The FAZ emphasizes that the product is always in the foreground here and that guests can look forward to an unforgettable culinary experience.
Katharina Schwingshackl, who was named Sommelière of the Year in 2012 and 2020, ensures that every bite is perfectly complemented with excellent wine accompaniment. Their recommendations are as varied as the dishes themselves - from an elegant 2022 Chardonnay Gottesacker to a full-bodied 2010 Impérial from Schloss Halbturn, each bottle tells its own story.
Conclusion: A culinary delight in the middle of nature
Whether a relaxing stay in the nature hotel or an exquisite dinner in the gourmet restaurant, the “Naturhotel Rebling” and the “Schwingshackl Esskultur” offer an experience that every gourmet should not miss. The love for nature and cuisine is lived here - a true pleasure in the heart of the Bavarian Forest. If that doesn't sound like a good deal for the taste buds!
