What matters to us

Sustainable for a better future

“I see our future with the adventure resort Elldus Resort Oberwiesenthal in stable and sustainable development based on long-term goals and values. We want to motivate and involve our employees so that we can give our guests a wonderful family holiday. Our focus is on creating a harmonious balance between ecological responsibility and first-class service.”

GreenSign Certification

We are proud! In April 2025, the Elldus Resort successfully completed the GreenSign audit, achieving a score of 85 %. The renowned GreenSign-Zertifizierung certification recognises our commitment to sustainability in the areas of environment, social responsibility, and economic practices. We are delighted by this award, which honours our consistent efforts towards responsible and future-oriented tourism.

GreenSign Certificate

Energy from Own Resources

CHPs

Our two combined heat and power units generate heat and electricity directly on site – efficiently, demand-driven, and used predominantly for our own consumption.

Travel Sustainably

Green Bonus

We reward environmentally friendly travel with attractive extras – from a complimentary electric vehicle charging session to a free shuttle service.

Coffee with milk, no Waste

"Rehbraun"

Our “Rehbraun” coffee is served with a splash of fresh milk – allowing us to consciously avoid individually packaged condensed milk.

Powered by the Sun

Photovoltaics

With our photovoltaic sys-
tems on the riding hall and main building, we generate clean electricity directly on site, reducing environmental impact & saving CO₂.

Sustainably Refurbished

Apartments

During renovations, we focus on regional materials and sustainable solutions. Existing furniture is given a modern upgrade instead of being completely replaced.

Optimal Storage

First In, First Out

We follow the “First In, First Out” principle.
This ensures supplies are used in time, waste is minimised, and food is used sustainably.

Bee Protection & Apitherapy

Buzzing Helpers

Our bees thrive behind the spa and provide fresh honey during the summer. At the same time, we actively contribute to the pre-
servation of bee populations.

Domestic Water & Heat Pump

For our Baby House

A 28,000-litre domestic water tank in the play barn area provides heating energy for the new Baby House. Efficient, sustainable, and smart.

Elldus Lunch Pack

Rethought

Our lunch bags are handed out empty – so guests can assemble their favourite foods themselves, reducing packaging waste.

Swapping

among staff

Since spring 2025, we have had a staff swap shelf where books, toys and other items no longer needed can be left for others.

Shaping the Future

Supporting Talents

We support young talents in winter sports and vocational training – and our guests can actively contribute with a small donation.

Fips’ Nature Hero Bag

Little Heroes

Small actions, big impact: With Fips’ Nature Hero Bag, everyone becomes an environmental hero. Simply collect and dispose of waste correctly.

Use Every Part of Veggies

Leaf to Root

At our resort, we use all parts of the vegetables, from leaves to roots, reducing waste while maintaining full flavour.

Reducing packaging

Well portioned

With our electric butter and margarine dispensers, we save packaging waste and offer our guests fresh butter at the push of a button.

Paper & Materials

Green Printing

We print on sustainable paper and use environmentally friendly materials to consciously conserve resources.

Efficient Radiators

Low-Temperature Heating

Our apartments use a low-temperature heating system – efficient, environmentally friendly, and comfortable for our guests.

Naturally diverse

Our apple orchard

Saxony’s highest apple orchard grows on our grounds, with 19 varieties. Together with other trees, it creates a valuable habitat for nature and wildlife.
