Hotel Kastenholz in Wershofen, in the Eifel, hosts seminars, board meetings and team events for up to 85 participants. It offers five meeting rooms, a hunting lodge in its own deer park for evening events, and exclusive hire of the whole house. The four-star superior wellness hotel lies about 20 km from the Nürburgring racing circuit.
Seminars and company events
The hotel describes itself as a seminar hotel where your meeting is usually the only one in the house. The meeting rooms are equipped with a screen, a pinboard, a flipchart and Wi-Fi, and the hotel offers half-day and full-day packages that cover the room, coffee breaks and meals. A microphone system is available on request.
Groups that want complete privacy can rent the whole hotel for a board meeting, a product presentation or a political talk. The hotel states that discretion is standard. It also has its own helicopter landing pad for guests who arrive by air.
Between sessions, the hotel can add a morning exercise hour, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, aqua gymnastics or a sound bowl session. The team event list includes a torchlight or forest walk through the 15-hectare deer park with a campfire, a grill evening or a fondue evening in Caspary's hunting lodge, a bowling evening for up to 18 people, a chocolate and wine tasting in the wine cellar, and a guided forest walk with Wohlleben's Forest Academy. Driving events at the Nürburgring can also be arranged.

Accommodation
The hotel is a wellness house with a swimming pool open from 7:00 and several saunas, which participants can use after the sessions. The official pages reviewed here do not give the number of bedrooms, so ask for the figure when you send a request for a residential meeting.
Catering
The kitchen works with regional ingredients and game from the hotel's own farm. A juice bar and basic dishes are available for guests who prefer lighter food. The meeting packages combine coffee breaks, lunch and a four-course dinner, and a barbecue in the hunting lodge can be added.
History and setting
The hotel stands on a large property with wide views over the Eifel and a deer park with woodland around the house. Dr. Carla Caspary runs it with her team, and the senior owner built the hunting lodge himself. Calm surroundings are the main argument for holding a focused meeting here.
