09 Göttervogel: fabric on the walls, calm in the room.
The Göttervogel (quetzal) is on the courtyard and measures 36.32 m². What sets it apart is obvious at once: the walls are covered in fabric, which gives the room a soft, warm acoustic.
The rooms
A sleeping area with a 160 × 200 cm double bed, a living area, a kitchenette with dining table, hob, fridge and crockery, a bathroom, and a wardrobe and cupboard for longer stays.
Amenities
Free Wi-Fi, a radio and heated parquet floors. The kitchen has WMF kitchenware, Siemens appliances, a coffee machine, a kettle and tea. There is also a minibar, towels, a hairdryer and Rituals care products. When you arrive, fresh flowers are waiting in the room, along with honey from our own bees to taste.
You will also find our own book in the room: the birds the rooms are named after, and the history of Schloss Ricklingen. It is there to browse during your stay, and if you would like to keep it, you can buy it for €65.
Bathrobes and bath towels for the sauna are ready right there, with showers next to it. Bicycles have their own shelter, and there is an EV charging point at the car park. Parking is included, charging is billed separately.
Who it suits
Solo travellers and couples who like it quiet and a little more sheltered, and stays of several nights.
Why Göttervogel
Göttervogel, “bird of the gods”, is an old name for the quetzal from the mountain forests of Central America. The Maya and Aztecs held it sacred, and only rulers and priests were allowed to wear its emerald-green tail feathers. Guatemala made it the national bird and named its currency after it.
