Buchnas Landhotel Saarschleife hosts seminars, retreats and celebrations for up to 80 guests, with meeting rooms from 27 to 250 square meters, 40 bedrooms and a spa on site. The four-star superior hotel stands at Cloefstraße 44 in Orscholz, part of Mettlach in Saarland, about ten minutes on foot from the Saarschleife, the great loop of the Saar river.
Seminars and company events
The Katharinensaal is the main room: 250 square meters on the ground floor for up to 80 people in U-shape, classroom or block layout. The Sägewerk, also on the ground floor, takes 35 in 100 square meters and has an 85-inch screen with a HighView conference system and an iPad. Upstairs, Werkraum I and Werkraum II join into one room for 30. Every room has Wi-Fi, a projection screen, flipcharts, pinboards and a moderation kit, and a projector, microphones and a technician can be added. Half-day, full-day and premium packages include drinks, coffee breaks and a meal, and a day-and-a-half format adds a visit to the treetop walk, a regional four-course dinner and breakfast. For the evening, the hotel proposes a kitchen table cooking session, an outdoor grill night with a torch walk to the Cloef viewpoint, or a three-course Slow Food table.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, class reunions and company parties are all booked here. Symbolic ceremonies led by an independent celebrant take place in the garden or indoors. A sparkling wine reception at the Cloef, the viewpoint above the Saarschleife, can open the day: it requires dry weather, at least 10 guests and a room booking at the hotel, and it is also offered to business delegations.

For banquets, the Katharinensaal seats 80, the Sägewerk 35, the Kaminzimmer 20 in 78 square meters, Dorfküche I 12 and Dorfküche II 24.

Outdoors, the hotel garden holds 80 guests on 800 square meters, the restaurant terrace 50, and the Sägewerk and garden terraces 30 each; these depend on the weather and come with a hotel room booking.
