Description

In Hofstetten — just about 4 km from Brienz and right next to the Ballenberg — the iconic wooden cow with the red spots has been produced since 1938. Since June 2022, the world's largest wooden cow has been standing in front of the newly built Trauffer World of experience and the Bretterhotel (wooden plank hotel). You can find out everything about the history, tradition and sustainable production of wooden cows and toys in the in-house Trauffer world of experience. It is also possible to carve and paint a cow yourself! Two restaurants are available for culinary purposes and there is an event floor for up to 180 people. There are 31 rooms for restful sleep, which - depending on the category - even have a sauna or a slide.
Hofstetten is a small, dreamy, typically Swiss town in the middle of the Bernese Oberland and is only 1.5 hours from Zurich, 1 hour from Bern, 20 minutes from Interlaken and 5 minutes from the shore of the turquoise-blue Lake Brienz. The hotel is surrounded by nature - so a peaceful night's sleep is guaranteed. Walking, biking, swimming, stand up paddling and skiing is possible in the immediate vicinity.
