from the boss

Spring time is asparagus time. Now it is sprouting again and the asparagus friends are happy. Asparagus is particularly rich in vitamin C, vitamin B1 and B2. Asparagus is not only very healthy but also tastes great. But it is not easy to prepare. Many therefore prefer to eat it in restaurants. Since that is unfortunately not possible at the moment, boss Josef Nieder from Flair Hotel Nieder shares his tips and tricks with you for perfect success. Cooking asparagus – simply explained:

shop
This is where the art begins: of course, we always buy super fresh asparagus from the region. It has its price, of course, but it has a better carbon footprint and a sensational taste.

Peel the asparagus
Josef Nieder recommends a simple peeler for peeling. An asparagus peeler is not necessary. It is best to put the sticks on a pot and peel away from you. This avoids injuries and allergic reactions.

how much cut off the bar?
The freshness of the asparagus can be recognized by the brightness of the cut and the color of the stick. The lighter, the fresher the product. It is better to cut off a little more to avoid woody areas.

Tip: Tie the asparagus spears together with a roulade ribbon, this makes further processing a lot easier.[/vc_column_text][qode_simple_quote text_title_tag=“h2″ author_title_tag=“h4″ simple_quote_text=“How long do you cook asparagus?“ quote_symbol_color=“rgba(255,255,255,0.99)“ simple_quote_author=“until it’s done.“ background_color=“#75b81d“][vc_column_text] Cooking asparagus properly
How long do you cook asparagus? Until it’s done. Depending on the thickness of the bars. About 8 minutes in water with salt, sugar and a nut-sized piece of butter.

The asparagus is done if you can squeeze the end piece together with light pressure. It is best when it still has a bit of bite.

In the hotel kitchen of the Flair Hotel Nieder we have recorded this wonderful recipe for you … and this is how it works:[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=“https://youtu.be/rCDKsYE3i-g“ src=“„https://www.youtube.com/embed/xpvsvRtw0M4„“ width=“„560„“ height=“„315„“ frameborder=“„0„“][/vc_column][vc_column width=“1/3″ css=“.vc_custom_1586449348018{background-color: #75b81d !important;}“][vc_column_text]

Hiking is fun and healthy. Every step awakens the spirits and strengthens not only the body but also the soul. Those who regularly go mountaineering or hike through forests and meadows promote their health above all. As you know, hiking strengthens the cardiovascular system on the one hand, but also strengthens the thighs. In addition, hiking with sticks also trains the arm muscles and even the back muscles benefit from the movement, which has a direct influence on posture. But not only does hiking make you healthy and slim, it slows you down, takes the pace out of everyday life and is good for your soul. And how nice it is to listen to the chirping birds, to the wind rushing through the trees and to breathe deeply in the smell of the forest.

What exactly does wellness mean?

What is wellness exactly? The term “wellness” is not protected it can mean different offers. At the end of the day, it’s simply about spoiling yourself and unwinding. Wellness treatments can include visits to the sauna, an aromatherapy session, massages, spas, sporting activities, yoga, a facial mask or simply good food. That’s for you to decide, since not all treatments are for everyone. You have to find out what’s good for your own body and soul. It’s always important to schedule in lots of time to rest. If you rush through your wellness treatment, you’re not going to find your inner peace.

If you’re looking to treat yourself to more than just a day of downtime at home with a good book and a cup of tea under the duvet, you need to book a stay in a good hotel with a wellness area. This can recharge your batteries, especially now in the colder time of the year. A few Flair Hotels are also geared towards wellness guests. We present the wellness areas of a few Flair Hotels here.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=“22px“][vc_column_text]

The Kranich-Insel in the Flair Hotel Weiss

The brand-new spa in the Flair Hotel Weiss in Angermünde (Uckermark) is called the “Kranich-Insel”. “A unique relaxation oasis awaits our guests,” says hotel manager Roy Weiss intriguingly. The Kranich-Insel is designed as a small, cosy village in Uckermark with half-timbered houses. You will find saunas in each “stall” and in the “barns”. In addition to a Finnish sauna (95 degrees), the bio sauna enriched with essential oils (60 to 65 degrees) and the “Kranichnest” with fresh herb hay from local meadows in the infrared sauna (40 degrees) offer pure relaxation. The old “goat shed” with rock salt is a salt cave sauna (50 to 60 degrees). The stone releases its salts in accurately regulated, moist air. This is a special treat for your skin and respiratory tract.

In the middle of the village, am Mühlstein, the ice fountain cools you down after your sauna. “Our shower temple with rain shower heads, splash shower, pails and Kneipp hose guarantee a real water experience,” says Roy Weiss. The heated bench with its foot basins ensures your circulation is stimulated after your sauna session.

A relaxing highlight of the Uckermark sauna village is the resting area with oversized glass atrium. “It encourages you to spend time daydreaming or to gaze up at the starry sky between sauna sessions – by the fireside, on first-class relaxation beds and with a view of the clear sky,” says the hotelier, making you long for some down time. The Kranich-Insel’s offer is completed by peelings and massages.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=“22px“][vc_gallery interval=“3″ images=“6126,5166,6132″ title=“SPA Kranich-Insel in the Flair Hotel Weiss“][blockquote text=“Switch off and enjoy“ show_quote_icon=“no“ text_color=“#4d4d4d“ width=“95″ line_height=“32″ border_color=“#ededed“][vc_empty_space height=“22px“][vc_column_text]

Sauerland relaxation in the Flair Hotel Nieder

Rest, relaxation and tranquillity is offered by “Quellkraft”, the Nieder nature spa. This is the wellness area belonging to the Flair Hotels Nieder in Bestwig-Ostwig (Sauerland).. “Here you can switch odd and enjoy the Sauerland in its best light,” promises hotel manager Josef Nieder. In addition to an aroma sauna and a steam bath with a minty aroma, the Finnish cabin sauna allows you to relax at 85 degrees. Spacious wellness showers complete the range of services offered. At the end of your session, a separate rest area is available in the winter garden, providing a great view of the natural lake swimming area. A fireplace provides cosy warmth in autumn and winter.

The whole Quellkraft spa is designed in the Sauerland style, thus provides a pleasant atmosphere. “The large natural lake swimming area in the picturesque setting of our garden area also offers relaxation and vitality,” explains Josef Nieder. With a fully biological constructed wetland, this is wonderfully refreshing in the summer and excellent for cooling off after a sauna session during the colder times of the year. “Our garden area always gives you the opportunity to relax in the fresh air surrounded by a wonderful array of blooms,” says the hotelier.

The offers available in the Quellkraft spa also comprise various aromatic Sauerland massages and a number of additional wellness treatments such as basic body and facial treatments that offer a special sense of well-being. Medically recognised and certified natural cosmetics emphasise the word natural in the natural spa. “Here you can escape from everyday life with a unique wellness offering and let yourself be pampered far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” says hotel manager Nieder.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=“22px“][vc_column_text]

Haus der Sinne in the Flair Hotel Zum Schwarzen Reiter

You find yourself in the “Haus der Sinne” when you enter the wellness area in the Flair Hotel Schwarzer Reiter in Horgau (Bavarian Swabia region). All offers are coordinated with the four basic elements of fire, water, air and earth. “The four elements theory states that everything consists of these four basic elements,” explains hotel manager Brigitte Platzer. “We work with them in the wellness area to harmonise the senses.” You can feel and experience the four elements in the Haus der Sinne with all of your senses.

Go on a journey of self-discovery in the “fiery” tecaldarium, in the “earthy” soft and outside sauna, in the steam bath in the “water” element and in the quiet winter garden where the “earth” is warmed by the “sun”, and “air” and “earth” are combined in the thermal loungers. The wellness guests can also enjoy an ice grotto, a multi-sensory shower and a shed sauna. Three harmoniously designed treatment rooms invite you enjoy relaxing, invigorating and fortifying back massages, element baths, couples treatments and wellness and Ayurvedic massages. A top-quality fitness room is also available.

If you want to relax, switch off and stimulate your senses, you can also stay overnight. Rooms and suites are available here that are also designed based on the four elements. In the Fire Suite for example, a stream of lava flows down the wall, whereas birds hover on the walls in the Air Suite. All rooms and suites in the House of Senses have a lifestyle bathroom. This means that wet areas such as multi-sensory showers, shower temples, bathtubs, softwhirl tubs or whirlpools are integrated in the living room.

The offers available in the Quellkraft spa also comprise various aromatic Sauerland massages and a number of additional wellness treatments such as basic body and facial treatments that offer a special sense of well-being. Medically recognised and certified natural cosmetics emphasise the word natural in the natural spa. “Here you can escape from everyday life with a unique wellness offering and let yourself be pampered far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” says hotel manager Nieder.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=“22px“][blockquote text=““Indulge in some time out”
