behind the scenes

The Name

Hebbo – for some it’s a random string of letters, for us it’s a homage to my father Herbert “Hebbo” Panzenberger. Just a few days after his unexpected death, a blackbird has come to visit us every day. We notice its special feather pattern: a white feather under the eye. It accompanied us for months, sitting at the window, watching us and becoming like a second shadow.

With its mere presence, the blackbird gives us strength, the burden on our shoulders becomes a little lighter, the days brighter. When our child was born, the blackbird disappeared from one day to the next. In Celtic mythology, the blackbird is considered a gatekeeper who guards the entrance to the other world, a mediator between the worlds and a power animal. Coincidence?

The Eco-Friendly Lifestyle

Metropolitan & urban? Yes, please! Environmental pollution? No, thanks.
If your own grass isn’t green enough, don’t climb over the garden fence, but make sure that Mother Earth is doing well. A small step for us, a big one for the environment. That’s what we stand for:

Green Solutions: heating with wood chip system (suppliers from Casies, without long journeys)
Green Mobility: electric vehicles (company car, e-quads etc.)
No Waste: saving paper, digital guest directory
Shop local: regional products without long delivery routes to the shop
Taste the Difference: primarily local & regional products from local farmers
No Plastics: reduction of plastic bottles in the shop and at breakfast in the chalet
In the future: next step on our to-do list? A solar system for the independent production of electricity and a collecting basin for rainwater.
