Sustainability has long been a top priority at Flair Hotels. A working group consisting of Flair hoteliers and employees from the Flair office in Ochsenfurt deal intensively with the issues of sustainability, ecological action and the implementation of environmentally conscious ideas. Other members of the cooperation are regularly informed about this news. Now two more Flair Hotels could look forward to the official confirmation of Green Sign Level four.

The Landhotel Strengliner Mühle, which was recently voted “Flair Hotel of the Year 2020”, and the Flair Hotel Neeth, both located in Holstein Switzerland, were awarded the GreenSign Level 4. This attests to the privately run hotels unparalleled climate-friendly, resource-saving, economic and social sustainability. This means that outstanding GreenSign certificates have already been awarded to five hotels in the cooperation.

The five-level GreenSign certification system is based on international frameworks and is unique in the industry.

“We at Flair Hotels really appreciate the cooperation with InfraCert and would like to expand it further. I very much hope that in the coming years we will be able to have significantly more Flair Hotels certified with the GreenSign, ”says Sophie von Seydlitz, Marketing and Sales Manager at Flair Hotels. Five Flair Hotels have already been certified with the GreenSign – sustainability is very important to Flair Hotels.

Flair Hotel Neeth – people and nature count here.

At the family-run Flair Hotel Neeth in Dammdorf, a district of Lehmkuhlen, near the Holstein shoemaker town of Preetz, sustainability is the top priority. The region is characterized by wide meadows and rolling hills. Over 150 beautiful lakes invite you to swim, paddle, sail and relax. The 3-star superior hotel with restaurant offers 16 rooms and a conference area. The sun terraces invite you to linger. The Neeth family is the third generation to run the traditional company with great attention to detail.

Enjoy sustainably.

Because here both owners and employees know that a green awareness alone does not help, but also has to be acted upon. Owner Kay Neeth explains: “We still cook with hand and heart. In our kitchen, almost exclusively fresh products, predominantly from the region, are used. Our Galloway is kept robust on Schleswig-Holstein nature reserves. The eggs come from species-appropriate animal husbandry. The free-range St. Martin’s goose comes from the Thormählen farm and the potatoes from the Kröger farm in Postfeld. Furthermore, the pork from northern Germany and the game come from the regional forests. Of course, the menu includes international delicacies as well as traditional Holstein specialties and, depending on the season, seasonal dishes. Our guests enjoy homemade jam, asparagus and strawberries only in season and only from Preetz. Darboven’s coffee is not only organic and fairtrade but also particularly tasty. “

Arrive and feel good

The Flair Hotel Neeth is supplied with 100% regional green electricity from wind power. As a result, the CO² emissions are massively reduced. This electricity is also fed into the in-house e-filling station. The rental of bicycles and e-bikes creates additional environmentally friendly mobility. In addition, great emphasis is placed on avoiding plastic wherever possible. The corporate philosophy that is lived is also reflected in the daily energy saving and human interaction, both in the team and with the guests, always at eye level. The Neeth family is also very involved in social matters and the international team works together very successfully. Because refugees from different nations are successfully integrated and trained time and again. Flair Hotel Neeth – that means „arrive and feel good“ in the middle of beautiful nature and with hosts who live their green corporate philosophy.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=“9519″ img_size=“large“ alignment=“center“ qode_css_animation=““ title=“Arrive and feel good at the Flair Hotel Neeth“][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

Flair Hotel Strengliner Mühle – family business for 400 years.

The Landhotel Strengliner Mühle, run very successfully in the eleventh generation, is now managed by siblings Ulrike and Henning Molt. The thoroughbred hoteliers who grew up in the company run the popular 3-star superior hotel with great passion. Because they attach great importance to cordiality and sustainability. The Schleswig-Holstein holiday and conference hotel, which is located in Pronstorf-Strenglin near the Baltic Sea coast, has 35 rooms and holiday apartments. It also offers a restaurant with 70 seats and a banquet area for up to 100 people. The whole thing is rounded off by a wellness area with Finnish sauna, bio sauna, infrared cabin, massages and relaxation room.

Pure relaxation

Due to its location in the middle of the countryside with wide views of the Holstein nature and the adjacent large network of cycle paths and golf courses, it offers relaxation for body, mind and soul. But the inside of the house is also “green” through and through. In addition to ecological responsibility, social commitment and economic stability are firmly anchored in the hotel concept and are comprehensibly implemented in a comprehensive sustainability program.

Enjoy regionally and sustainably

As head chef, Henning Molt attaches great importance to regional products and seasonal creations. A freshly caught carp from one of the mill ponds behind the hotel is regularly brought to the table. “We live with and from the people here in Schleswig-Holstein and purchase our food directly from local producers. In this way we avoid long animal transports. In addition, we do without plastic packaging as much as possible and our Holstein breakfast buffet is completely plastic-free, ”he says proudly and emphasizes,“ we also live as sustainably as possible when it comes to energy generation.

Our family cultivates around 40 hectares of land – including forest. We operate a wood chip system with the wood, which supplies our entire hotel with heat. In addition, a large part of the fish processed in the restaurant comes from the mill ponds. In addition, the jams are made from fruits from the garden. „Hotel guests can also take home-made products as holiday memories, such as honey, smoked fish, game specialties, homemade quince jelly and spreads, including herbs from the hotel’s own herb garden.

Environmental friendliness.

In addition, other environmentally friendly concepts of the hotel can be seen as follows: in the compensation of CO2 emissions for print products, in the use of environmentally friendly cleaning agents and chemicals. In addition, with extensive measures to prevent food waste, as well as raising awareness of the sustainability of employees through internal and external training. Guests can borrow bicycles and e-bikes and an e-filling station is in preparation.

Armin Wolff, who carried out the audit for InfraCert as part of the GreenSign certification, was also very impressed by the social commitment and the dealings with the employees of the family business. „The house supports a kindergarten and a sports club and offers extensive advantages for all employees, and a company health management system has also been established in the hotel,“ he says with praise.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=“7858″ img_size=“large“ alignment=“center“ qode_css_animation=““ title=“Enjoy peace and quiet in the Flair Hotel Strengliner Mühle“][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

The delightful landscape of Holstein Switzerland is great to explore by bike and you can also make a detour to Berlin, Brazil and California. Too far? On the contrary, the bike tour through the interior of Schleswig-Holstein, devised by two Flair hoteliers, makes it possible.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We want to show our guests that it’s not just beautiful in the north of the Baltic Sea, ”say Kay Neeth and Henning Molt. “The interior of the country is a dream for cyclists.” That is why the two Flair hoteliers – Kay Neeth from the Flair Hotel Neeth and Henning Molt from the Flair Hotel Strengliner Mühle – have developed a 46-kilometer bike tour where you can discover exactly this typical charm.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] The tour connects our two hotels – you can take different routes there and back, ”explains Henning Molt. “And on the way you pass the most beautiful corners of our homeland,” says Kay Neeth, whet the appetite for more. And there is more: Because in addition, the two Flair hoteliers have come up with rallies from their hotels. So you can extend your cycling holiday and discover other pearls of Northern Germany.[/vc_column_text][qode_simple_quote text_title_tag=“h4″ author_title_tag=“h2″ simple_quote_text=“Many do not even know that the big wide world lies in Schleswig-Holstein“ simple_quote_author=“Henning Molt“ background_color=“#75b81d“ quote_symbol_color=“#ffffff“][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] The Flair Landhotel Strengliner Mühle is located in Pronstorf-Strenglin. From there it takes about 2.5 hours to the outskirts of Preetz. Here, in Lehmkuhlen OT Dammdorf, the Flair Hotel Neeth welcomes its guests. The tour leads through Dersau, Ascheberg and Preetz. „Along the entire route, cyclists can expect partially untouched nature, and one or the other sight invites you to take a short break,“ enthuses Henning Molt.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=““ row_type=“row“ use_row_as_full_screen_section=“no“ type=“full_width“ angled_section=“no“ text_align=“left“ background_image_as_pattern=“without_pattern“][vc_column width=“2/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] If you need a little more variety – the boat trip across the Great Plöner See is not just a shortcut, but also relaxation for the soul. “A lot of people don’t even know that the big wide world is in Schleswig-Holstein,” grins Henning Molt. What is meant is the small village of Weitewelt, which belongs to the community of Seedorf. You can travel through Weitewelt on the tour as well as through Berlin. Berlin? “This is not only the name of our capital, but also a small village up here,” explains the Flair hotelier.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] The way back

The two hoteliers then recommend a different route from the Flair Hotel Neeth back to the Flair Landhotel Strengliner Mühle. This time it goes through Plön and Bosau. “It’s worth taking a longer break in both places,” says Kay Neeth. Plön is not only characterized by its unique location in the middle of the picturesque lake landscape, the impressive Plön Castle also invites you to visit. “We recommend a tour of the castle area with its historic buildings.” You shouldn’t miss the Prinzeninsel either. The narrow headland through the Großer Plöner See is an interesting natural experience that is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] In Bosau, the Dunkersche Kate with its cottage garden and bakery is well worth a detour. “There are art exhibitions and craft markets here all year round,” says Kay Neeth. The beautifully restored St. Petri Church in Bosau is the summer venue for the locally well-known summer concerts with sometimes quite spectacular performances. „Little Warder – that’s what an island is called in northern Germany – on the Bischofsee is ideal for a nice tour,“ says Kay Neeth. It is located on the outskirts of Bosau. Display boards give insights into the surrounding flora and fauna.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=“1/3″][vc_single_image image=“11611″ img_size=“full“ alignment=“right“ onclick=“link_image“ qode_css_animation=““][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=““ row_type=“row“ use_row_as_full_screen_section=“no“ type=“full_width“ angled_section=“no“ text_align=“left“ background_image_as_pattern=“without_pattern“ padding_top=“0″ padding_bottom=“14″][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] The bike tour run by the two Flair hoteliers is suitable for both sporty riders without electrical assistance and for leisure cyclists who are out and about with an e-bike. At which hotel you start and end the tour is up to you. What is certain is that both hotels are a great place to go for the night. Both shine with cozy rooms and excellent regional cuisine. “Of course we are well prepared for the cyclists,” says Kay Neeth. Guests can conveniently park their bikes and charge e-bikes.[/vc_column_text][qode_advanced_image_gallery type=“grid“ enable_image_shadow=“no“ image_behavior=“zoom“ number_of_columns=“four“ space_between_items=“small“ images=“11616,11614,11612,11606″ image_size=“full“][vc_column_text] More bike paths

Both Flair Hotels are also the starting point for further excursions in the region. “You can plan a multi-day cycling holiday with our hotels,” explains Henning Molt. From its flair Landhotel Strengliner Mühle, for example, it’s 17 kilometers to Bad Segeberg. That should especially inspire friends of the Wild West. Because: „The Karl May Games have been staged there in an open-air theater since 1952,“ reports Henning Molt. The Hanseatic city of Lübeck with its brick buildings – such as the famous Holstentor – is around 22 kilometers away. The seaside resort Timmendorfer Strand (approx. 28 km) and the holiday resort Travemünde on the Baltic Sea (approx. 36 km) are further destinations that can be reached for a day trip by bike.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]From the Flair Hotel Neeth it is only around 20 kilometers to Kiel. “Our state capital offers not only a tour of the city, but also a visit to the shipping museum in the listed fish hall,” recommends Kay Neeth. Cyclists travel around 25 kilometers from his hotel to the town of Laboe on the Kieler Förder. Laboe is best known for the Naval Memorial, which commemorates the fallen sailors of the two world wars.[/vc_column_text][qode_simple_quote text_title_tag=“h4″ author_title_tag=“h2″ simple_quote_text=“We are of course well prepared for the cyclists“ simple_quote_author=“Kay Neeth“ background_color=“#75b81d“ quote_symbol_color=“#ffffff“][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]“You can also reach beautiful beaches on the Baltic Sea from our house by bike,” says Kay Neeth. Cyclists have about 20 kilometers to the Ostseebad Schönberg and another four kilometers more to the long Schönberger Strand. Have you ever been to Brazil or California? Both are possible on this bike tour. Because the community of Schönberg includes two places directly on the Baltic Sea that have these names. From the Flair Hotel Neeth it is about 25 kilometers to get there.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] If you want to start pedaling right now, you are welcome to contact the hotels. Kay Neeth and Henning Molt are looking forward to their bike-loving guests. Anyone who feels like pedaling right away is welcome to contact the hotels.
