(traffic jam, finding parking spaces)

Useful Information

• Emergency calls:

• Fire: 112 • Police: 110

• Phone numbers for local help and support are available at Reception of Privathotel Lindtner

• In general, if you are happy with a service (e.g. restaurant, taxi), you can add 10 % – 15 % of tip on top of the total price

• Prices includes all taxes, always and everywhere • Amount of restaurants in the area of Privathotel Lindtner is limited . Therefore, we have organized Buffet / Menu dinner in the hotel for every evening. This will increase also networking possibility.
