The Location:
The Heilsbach is located in the Wasgau, which is part of the Nature Park Palatinate Forest/Northern Vosges. In close proximity to the French border, it belongs to the state-recognized resort of Schönau/Pfalz.

The House:
Our house is situated in a magnificent park area of 75,000m². All buildings are accessible for people with disabilities and equipped with elevators or wheelchair ramps.

Some of the rooms are fully accessible for people with disabilities and equipped with corresponding wet cells.

The Common Rooms:
For cozy gatherings in the evening, we offer our guests suitable rooms. Whether it's a club room, tea room, or fireplace room – here you can enjoy the end of the day in a pleasant atmosphere.

The Meditation Room:
For your relaxation, contemplation, or simply to enjoy the silence, our meditation room is available to you. We also provide prayer stools and blankets for you there.

The Chapel:
Regular services are held in our house chapel, to which you are warmly invited. As part of your own events, you can also celebrate your own services or organize prayer times here by arrangement.
Additionally, the chapel, which is dedicated to St. Walburga, is also a place of silence and contemplation. Artistic design by Sr. Klara Winkler, OSF, provides inspiration for this. Our Mirjam window, crafted after the famous depiction of Mirjam by Sieger Köder, offers a special invitation for contemplation.

In our extensive house library, every reader will find something. In addition to a focus on religion, spirituality, and faith, there are many non-fiction books, novels, and children's books on various topics. As a Catholic public library, we are supported by the specialized department of the Diocese of Speyer.

Our kitchen offers freshly prepared meals, lovingly refined with herbs from our garden. At breakfast, our guests enjoy a rich buffet with fresh rolls, freshly prepared muesli, juices, and more. Dinner is also offered in buffet form, where everyone can put together something delicious according to their taste. Lunch consists of a three-course menu. We are happy to accommodate your requests and also serve vegetarian or dietary meals upon request. We also gladly prepare small snacks like coffee and cake or a colorful fruit basket for an extra charge.

The Pickup Service:
As a special service, we offer a pickup service. We can pick you up with your luggage not only from the train station but also from your home upon request – and at a cheaper rate than traveling by train (2nd class). Of course, this offer also applies to your return trip.
