We were looking for a holiday home for New Year's Eve because our dogs react very hysterically to even the slightest fireworks. Our stay at the Waldschatz chalet was by far the quietest we've ever had; we've tried several holiday homes over New Year's. The first bang wasn't heard until the stroke of midnight; before that, there was absolutely nothing. After 15 minutes, it was quiet again. The house is wonderful, the location is fantastic, and the tiled stove is phenomenal! There's a wonderful view, and the terrace in front of the entrance and the balcony are surely a dream in summer as well. The house is situated quite high above the road, accessible via very steep lanes. As long as there's no snow, this isn't a problem, but if there is snow, you should be fearless and have good winter tires. The evening before our departure, it snowed heavily, and by the time we left, there was about 20 cm of snow on frozen ground. So, we had to shovel. The snowplow had already been there before we left at 9 a.m. The only thing we would wish for is a more comprehensive range of kitchen utensils and pots! The kitchen is also unfortunately quite small, with limited counter space. However, the shower is fantastic! And you need to be reasonably fit, both for the stairs leading up to the house and for the rather steep stairs inside to the bedrooms upstairs.
