To the Old Waltersdorf Forestry Station, featuring an ARTSauna—pet-friendly in this resort town

Welcome to the “Alte Försterei”—your historic retreat in idyllic Waltersdorf! This lovingly renovated, rustic half-timbered house combines the traditional charm of a forester’s cottage with modern comforts across two floors.
The heart of the house is the large, original wooden log cabin living room. It offers the perfect, cosy atmosphere for evenings spent with family or friends. After an active day in the Zittau Mountains, you can relax in the in-house sauna or enjoy time with your four-legged friends in the large garden—because dogs are always welcome here!
The house accommodates up to 8 people and is ideal for families with children, hiking groups, and dog owners.
