Green Sign
We take our responsibility for sustainable business very seriously, which is why the Wildbad Rothenburg o.d.T. has been a certified Green Sign Hotel since September 2023.
The basis for the certification is a unique five-stage certification system that not only assesses the actual state of sustainability of a hotel business, but also shows a way to continuously improve and further develop its own sustainability performance. As part of the certification process, eight subject areas and 100 criteria are examined, which take into account the ecological aspect of sustainability as well as the social and economic dimension:
1. management & communication
2. environment (energy, water, waste)
3. biodiversity & cultural heritage
4. purchasing
5. regionality & mobility
6. social responsibility
7. quality management & sustainable development
8. economic responsibility
The basis for the final assessment of a hotel is a level system from 1 to 5 (5 being the highest level of sustainable management). We are delighted to have been awarded Green Sign Level 4 at the first attempt.
Since June 2022, the certification catalog for the GreenSign Hotel certification has been recognized by the world-renowned Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). This recognition ensures and confirms the high quality standards and holistic sustainability approach of these hotels.
Busy bees at Wildbad Rothenburg o.d.T.
The park at Wildbad Rothenburg o.d.T. is green and blooming - much to the delight of our bees. Thanks to the diverse, natural landscape with wild cherry, herbs and lime trees, their free-range hives on a slope offer the finest nectar for collecting. The water of the nearby Tauber is also good for feeding the brood. So-called “Hutungen” - uncultivated areas where orchids and a variety of herbs grow - round off the bee paradise in the Wildbadpark.
The full-bodied honey from our industrious bees is often used in the cuisine of Wildbad Rothenburg o.d.T. and is also sold under its own brand “Honey from Wildbad Rothenburg o.d.T.”
