Buehl - Maria Hilf

Posh hotels can be a treat, but mostly they are not really surprising. So from time to time, I like to stay in hotels, motels, hostels, B&Bs that are a bit off the beaten track. So for a couple of nights I had booked this wonderful, very basic room (with a shiny lino-floor) in "Maria Hilf", a convent of the pious "Schwestern vom Goettlichen Erloeser" ("Sœurs du Très Saint Sauveur", "Sisters of the Most Divine Saviour / Niederbronn").


Buehl is a perfect place to travel the northern part of the Black Forest.

If you visit the area - I recommend the convent, though the rooms have no TV, you´ll have to pay extra for WiFi - and creditcards are not accepted. There are even some "deluxe" rooms with private facilities.

Please note that two religious orders exist under the name "Sisters of the Divine Savior". This one was founded in nearby Niederbronnn (Alsace) in 1849 by Elisabeth Eppinger.
