Offering a games room and a children’s playground, Pension Am Waldesrand is nestled on a picturesque hillside overlooking the village of Manebach. Free WiFi is available in communal areas.
“Located in the small village Manebach with fresh alp style houses around, and cobblestone narrow streets, and a clear-water trout rich river running through it. The hills surrounding the village are covered with forest, holding many nicely maintained tracks, reaching among other locations - Kickelhahn, with fantastic views and a restaurant. This is Goethe territory, with a museum in the nearby town of Ilmenau. I think you come here for a nature experience, with winter activities - like skiing, trekking, river fishing, and cultural experiences. The guesthouse has an excellent location on a hillside with wonderful views. The parking is near the room, and you can see your car from there. It has a main building with several 2-room bungalows surrounding it. The rooms are not luxurious but fresh, clean, and well maintained. They seem to have a high booking rate, so book in time. The room prices are among the lowest in this area. We arrived very early in the morning and would therefore sleep through the included breakfast, but the hosts made sandwiches, prepared juices, etc., which they put in the mini-fridge in the room for us. Very thoughtful and nice service. They gave us a code to an outdoor safety box, where the room keys were kept - smooth solution to avoid having to wake someone up when you arrive late. The booking was easy, and the hosts were very responsive to our requests - in English, which is not so common here (this is former East Germany, but they have adapted quite a westernised style by now). When we arrived in mid April we were met by freshly sprung leaves on the trees, thousands of flowers, a large choir of singing birds, and a fresh - almost perfume like smell. Any season here is wonderful, but I prefer spring - April to early June (a bit cold but beautiful), and winter - from around Christmas until the end of February (Very cosy feeling with a lot of snow and surrounding activities).”
