Parking Information

Our hotel is located in the old town, which is normally closed to traffic. However, cars driving guests to hotels in the old town are allowed to enter at any time to drop off luggage.

After dropping off your luggage, you can park your car at the paid parking lot outside the old town https://maps.app.goo.gl/hkdbmSbwnt74Ls8t5, which is a 1.2 km walk from our hotel. If you prefer not to use paid parking, you are welcome to park on the street wherever you find an available spot. Alternatively, although it’s a slightly longer walking distance to the hotel, you can also try parking for free at this location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1XachAzLYTPStyHx8?g_st=iw.

After parking, you can enjoy a stroll through the antiques or take the tractor shuttle back to the center of the old town. The shuttle will drop you off at the inner old town gate, which is only 300 meters from our hotel.
