Herb garden in Bad Waldsee
Our herb garden.
What began with grandmother's lovage has now become a herb garden that could hardly be more colourful and diverse.
For us, herbs are much more than just flavourings: They are the centrepiece of our cuisine, give every dish a unique flavour and connect us with our homeland.
From April to October, everything revolves around herbs: every month we celebrate a new herb theme that enriches our weekly menu. Our "Mattenhaus herb evenings" with Father Gerhard are also a special highlight and in June we organise our herb days - a whole week full of enjoyment, with picnics in the countryside or dining under the trees. This is what real herbal love tastes like!
Herb tours in Bad Waldsee
Mattenhaus herbal evening.
From April to October, we invite you to our Mattenhaus herb evening once a month. Father Gerhard from Brunnenhof Ebenweiler guides you through our herb garden between perennials and raised beds with plenty of knowledge and humour. With an aperitif in hand, you will start an unforgettable evening. Then it's off to a convivial table, where you can chat to your heart's content about herbal delights and favourite recipes over a 3-course herb menu.
