Cold the way it does you good
Cold training in every season
Not everyone wants to get into ice water at minus ten degrees – and you don’t have to. At around 800 metres in the Ore Mountains, with clear mountain streams right by the house, you will find the right way in all year round.
Winter
Ice bathing in the open air, breathing exercises in snowy nature, silence and clear air – you can see your breath.
Autumn
Water temperatures drop slowly – ideal for getting used to the cold step by step.
Spring
Clear streams full of meltwater and nature waking up – perfect conditions to get started.
Regeneration
After intense experiences you warm up again in our Wellness area with four saunas.
A break from everyday life
Your Wim Hof weekend: a break from everyday life
Leave everyday life behind for a weekend and immerse yourself in nature. You learn new breathing exercises, take time for meditation and refresh yourself in lakes, streams or the ice-cold Hot tub. With every round of breathing and every cold bath, you notice how much more there is in you than you thought.
This is exactly where the Wim Hof Method comes in: at the limits you set for yourself. You experience how liberating it is to push them step by step, and take home tools you can use every day in just a few minutes.

Why Landhotel Altes Zollhaus is the ideal place for your Wim Hof retreat

Learn ice bathing
Ice bathing workshop with a world champion
With us, you don't learn ice bathing from a book. Gerrit Curcio is a certified Wim Hof instructor, a former Bundesliga swimmer and a four-time world champion in ice swimming. Together with Isabel and Patrick, he guides you step by step: first the breathing, then the cold – always at your own pace and with clear safety rules.
You go into the cold water in the natural swimming lake right next to the hotel, in the ice barrel or in the wooden tub. Afterwards, you warm up in one of our four saunas. This turns your first ice bath into a safe, positive experience that you can continue at home.
Would you like to try it first? Then book a private session or an ice bathing workshop for your group – also for companies, clubs and groups of friends. Call us on 035057 540.
