After we took you on a journey through Switzerland and Italy on Tuesday, we dedicate the blog post today to the most beautiful, sustainable and dog-friendly vacation destinations in Germany and Austria. And for the vacationers among you who are traveling outside of Europe, there are also a few more exotic destinations.

Nevertheless, let’s start in the Austrian mountains (Here you can find everything, you should know about cacationing in Austria). In Sölden  two beautiful, sustainable and pet-friendly destinations await you: LENI MOUNTAIN Apartments & Chalet and The Peak Sölden.

More than just winter sports

Sölden is impressive for its picturesque and prominent location. While the place is mainly known for winter sports and its après-ski parties, you can also go on great hikes with your four-legged friend. In the apartments you have comfortable space for your dog and in the kitchen, you can prepare your food of choice.

For fresh air we recommend the wide network of hiking and biking trails. Your reward for the steeper sections? Breathtaking views over the Alps! Picturesque mountain lakes or rest stops at lofty heights are perfect for a great break — or for you and your dog to splash around.

A dog-friendly oasis of peace

Are you feeling stressed? Then the next hotel is a good choice! Just before the German border lies Leutasch. Here you find the Naturhotel Aufatmen, an oasis of peace. The rooms provide for a comfortable stay with your dog. The Aufatmen is a pure vegetarian hotel, which also has a large selection of vegan dishes. Perfect for hiking or just to relax.

Carefree-Package for you and your dog

If you are looking for an all-round carefree package for your furry friend, you are in good hands at the HUBERTUS Mountain Refugio Allgäu. Your dogs are most welcomed. The package of the Allgäu hotel includes a food and water bowl, dry food from Happy Dog, a dog blanket, a dog bathrobe and even a dog drinking bottle for hiking. Sounds great already, right?

The nature around Balderschwang is also a dog paradise, especially the Nagelfluh Nature Park, where the HUBERTUS is located. Your furry friend is not allowed in the restaurant, but on request a table can be set up for you and your four-legged friend in the TeeStube (that’s in the lobby area) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Dog-friendly fun in the water

Do you prefer a vacation by the water? Then visit the MANOAH houses. With the nearby beach house Da Rosario, the Bio-Seehotel Zeulenroda as well as the Pâtisserie Bergmann, the Zeulenrodaer Meer offers excursion destinations and culinary delights at the same time. Directly in the vacation home complex, an exclusive 24-hour market is ready for you — if you or your darling get hungry, you will always find a snack here.

Circular paths like the “Staudammblick” lead you along the shore of the Zeulenroda Sea. On the way you will get an impression of the dams, you can enjoy the wide view of the countryside and the town of Zeulenroda-Triebes and you have many opportunities to rest or take a break.

Exciting forest for curious noses

No lake at the Naturresort Schindelbruch, but forests as far as the eye can see — which is also super exciting for your dog. The resort is happy to welcome dogs. Here, a water and food bowl are provided so that you can start your vacation completely relaxed (and with less luggage). Even a cuddly sleeping place will be prepared for your darlings, if you wish so. As a special bonus, there are some treats for your four-legged friend.

Souvenirs for your favorite fur-friend

Do you have a water rat who also likes to rummage in the forest? Then you should check out Okelmann’s. Dogs are allowed everywhere on a leash — except in the sauna area 😉.

Especially the rooms with terrace and garden access are ideal. Outside it is wonderful to romp and walk in the large lawn, the forest or garden. The welcome package for four-legged friends includes welcome treats, bowls and a dog blanket are available on loan. And if the treats have tasted particularly good to your dog, you can buy them in the hotel’s own concept store. And as a special souvenir: Grab a few dog accessories.

But it’s not just in the middle of Europe that you’ll find beautiful, sustainable and pet-friendly hotels. The Maslina Resort in Croatia is also happy to welcome you and your four-legged friend. Here you can enjoy the warm weather together and explore the stunningly beautiful beaches. 

Let’s hop across the globe: the Puri Dajuma in Indonesia and the Kasbah du Toubkal in Morocco are both pet-friendly hotels, too. Hike in the Atlas Mountains or relax on the beach in Indonesia: You can also spend great vacations here. However, you should spare your pet the long journey if you come from Europe.
