Do you miss nature?
Do you feel you always have to be available? Do you jump from message to message, from appointment to appointment, and hardly find time to really breathe?
Then perhaps it's time for a break. A real break.
Neuhermsdorf · Ore Mountains
In idyllic Neuhermsdorf, nestled in the unspoilt landscape of the Ore Mountains, a place awaits you where silence becomes audible again and time feels different. Surrounded by deep forests, clear mountain air and the calming power of nature, we invite you to consciously step out for a few days.
Our digital detox retreat is more than just a break from your smartphone. It is an invitation to turn your gaze inwards again, clear your head and gather new energy.
During your stay, you consciously do without your smartphone, tablet and laptop. No Wi-Fi, no emails, no social media. Instead, nature, exercise, silence and real encounters await you.
Look forward to inspiring hikes through the forests of the Ore Mountains, relaxing sauna breaks, soothing yoga sessions and valuable impulses for reflection. Without pressure to perform. Without obligations. At your own pace.
This is not about doing without.
It is about regaining.
Regaining peace.
Clarity.
Attention.
Quality of life.
Feel the forest floor beneath your feet again. Listen to the wind in the treetops. Enjoy conversations without distraction and moments in which you can simply be.
Whether for three, four, five or six days – this conscious break can be the beginning of a new balance.
Leave everyday life behind.
Find your way back to nature.
Find your way back to yourself.
The Zollhaus in the Ore Mountains – a place to arrive, breathe and recharge.
Why it does you good
Why a digital detox matters so much today
Your smartphone is always with you: we check messages, answer emails, scroll through social media – and often only realise late how much it weighs on us. A digital detox means consciously stepping away from the screen and reconnecting with real life – with nature, movement, calm and people.
Being constantly reachable can lead to stress, sleep problems, lack of concentration and inner restlessness. Social media adds pressure and comparison. What helps your nervous system calm down again: nature, movement and Meditation.
After just a few days offline, many guests report more energy, deeper sleep, clearer thoughts, better focus, less stress and more inner calm.
The digital detox box at the Zollhaus
In the hotel we have set up our own digital detox box. Here you lock your phone away on purpose and experience how good real calm feels. Many guests say that after just a few hours they sleep better, think more clearly and are back in the moment.
Your offline checklist
- Set up an out-of-office reply
- Turn off push notifications
- Put your phone in the detox box
- Alarm clock instead of phone
- Pack a book
- Get out into nature every day – hiking trails right on your doorstep
- In the evening, Sauna instead of a screen

How your digital detox stay works

- from 2:00 pmArrival from 2:00 pm

Our wish is that you not only go home rested, but also take some of this serenity into your everyday life. Perhaps you will discover new rituals for yourself. Perhaps you will treat yourself to moments of silence more often. Perhaps you will simply remember how good it feels to be offline now and then.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the Altes Zollhaus.
