The house you are staying in has been renovated using sustainable methods. This means we switched from an oil-fired heating system to a pellet heating system.

Pellet heating uses renewable biomass (wood pellets) instead of fossil fuels like oil, making it a cleaner and more sustainable energy source. Pellet heating significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to oil heating, as wood pellets are considered carbon-neutral when sourced sustainably.

Wood pellets are often made from sawmill byproducts, such as wood chips and sawdust, making use of waste materials and promoting a circular economy. Visit the Scharnitz Museum, which focuses on the “Circle of Wood,” exploring the life cycle of wood and the sustainable management of forests. Located near the Karwendel Nature Park, it highlights the region’s rich forestry history, ecological significance, and sustainable practices, reminding us to cherish nature’s contributions—so we can all “Just Breathe” in a healthier, more sustainable world!
