Gasthof Linde

What Gasthof Linde does

Gasthof & Gästehaus Linde is a family-owned traditional German inn and guesthouse located in Loßburg, in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) region of Germany. Founded in 1806 and currently operated in its fifth generation by the Heinzelmann family, the business operates from a single site on Freudenstädter Str. 25, with the gasthof and guesthouse located a few meters apart. The core offering comprises three integrated product lines: a restaurant serving traditional Swabian cuisine and Black Forest snacks (cooked by the owner himself), overnight accommodations in single and double rooms and self-catering holiday apartments (54 m² and 74 m²), and an on-site Hausbrennerei producing artisanal schnapps and brandies such as Williams-Christ-Birnenbrand, Schwarzwälder Kirschwasser, and Blutwurz Spirituose.

The business operates entirely on a direct-to-consumer hospitality model with no third-party distribution channels, OTAs, or reseller network. Bookings are taken via a German/English Joomla website (gaestehaus-linde.de) using an inquiry form and walk-in traffic. Pricing is per person per night for rooms (single from €82; double from €71.50) and per unit per day for apartments (€99–€109), with breakfast included and a local Kurtaxe added separately. The restaurant operates limited hours (closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays). The eight-person team serves domestic and international tourists, hikers, families, and outdoor enthusiasts visiting the Black Forest, supplemented by participation in regional tourism programs (KONUS Guest Card, Schwarzwald Plus Card) that bundle free public transport and attraction access with stays.
