Meetings for up to 80 people, residential seminars with 52 bedrooms on site, and weddings or celebrations for up to 120 guests can be organised here. The venue is the Waldgasthof am Letten, a country hotel and restaurant run by the Wittmann family at the edge of the woods outside Lauf an der Pegnitz, east of Nuremberg.
Seminars and company events
The hotel advertises five meeting rooms with modern equipment. Konferenz I and Konferenz II are soundproofed and fitted with ClickShare wireless presentation and a projector that can be run from a smartphone; the smaller rooms have a projector, flipchart and pinboard. The meeting package covers morning coffee with a snack, fruit and yogurt, drinks in the room, a three-course lunch with a choice of three main dishes including one vegetarian, and afternoon coffee and cake, with an optional two-course dinner. Moderation materials, a projection screen, free Wi-Fi and daylight are included.
For breaks and side programs, the team suggests guided outdoor activities in the woods next to the hotel, a visit to the historic old town of Lauf, and walks in the park-like grounds, and it can build a tailored program on request. NürnbergMesse is about 20 minutes by car, which makes the hotel a quieter base during trade fairs.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings have long been a specialty of the house, and the family cites 50 years of hosting celebrations. Couples can hold a summer ceremony on the large lawn of the hotel grounds or marry in Lauf or a nearby village, then return for the reception. The Festsaal takes up to 120 guests and opens onto the terrace, where a mobile drinks bar can be set up. The events team plans the day with the couple after a visit of the house.

Konferenz I measures 75 square meters and takes up to 80 people, with about 60 in cinema rows, 55 at parliamentary tables or 35 in a U-shape. Konferenz II has 56 square meters for up to 40.
