Seehof am Aartalsee

We had a great mini-holiday mid-August 2022 in Seehof am Aartalsee, where I staid with my pregnant wife and daughter in the New York room of the hotel. The room was spacious, comfortable and affordable, while the hotel itself and the outside restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere and great staff, many with Greek roots, which makes for great Greek dishes on the menu. We forgot that we also booked breakfast and found out on the last day we didn't make use of it, but we didn't have to pay for it. Especially the outside restaurant is a great place to sit, also with children as there is a small playground right next to it with a view on the lake. The lake itself could unfortunately not be used for swimming due to algae, but there are great recreational swimming places at 30 minutes driving from the hotel, both close to Marburg and Giessen. These are great bigger cities to visit in itself, as well as the historic towns of Wetzlar and Herborn. I feel this region of Germany is undervisited, but it actually makes for a beautiful area to explore, both for nature as well as culture reasons.
