Unbelievable Slawitsch: Germany's Hidden Village Gem You NEED to See!
Unbelievable Slawitsch: Germany's Hidden Village Gem - And OMG, You NEED to See It! (Seriously)
Okay, so I just got back from Unbelievable Slawitsch. Yeah, the name's a bit… much, right? But trust me, the actual place? Totally lives up to the hype. It's like stumbling into a fairytale, but a fairytale that's actually… real. And clean! (More on that later, because seriously, cleanliness is next to godliness, especially when you’re traveling.)
First, Let's Talk Access… and My Bad Navigation Skills
Finding Unbelievable Slawitsch was… an experience. Let's just say my GPS and I have a complicated relationship. The hotel is accessible - which is fantastic – and has all sorts of facilities for disabled guests, including elevators (phew!), and the usual ramps and whatnot. Makes getting around easy peasy. However, getting to Slawitsch itself requires a bit of planning. Consider the airport transfer. I didn't, and let’s just say the scenic route involved a very confused taxi driver and me muttering, "Germany, you're beautiful, but your countrysides are…challenging." They do offer a taxi service, and valet parking which I highly recommend considering my navigational issues! There's also a car park on-site that's free, which is a huge bonus, and even a car power charging station!
Cleaning Obsessives, Rejoice! (And I Say This As One…)
Listen, I can get really freaked out about cleanliness. And Unbelievable Slawitsch? They get it. Seriously. They’re rocking the "Cleanliness and Safety" game. They've got the whole shebang:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services: Check.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Double check. (Because sometimes you just wanna breathe your air, you know?)
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Yep.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Absolutely.
- Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE: Bless them.
- Individually-wrapped food options: Smart.
- Shared stationary removed: Smartest.
- Hot water linen and laundry washing: Essential.
- Hygiene certification: I didn’t see the certificate but I felt safe.
They even have a doctor/nurse on call and a first aid kit. Basically, they thought of everything, and it’s truly comforting. It actually felt safe. Makes a cynical traveler like me relax.
My Little Slice of Heaven: The Room
Okay, let's rave about the rooms. They are amazing. "Available in all rooms" doesn't do justice to the amenities, seriously.
- Wi-Fi [free]: Obviously a godsend. The "Internet access - wireless" was strong even though I was streaming from my laptop workspace.
- Air conditioning: Necessary!
- Blackout curtains: Sweet, sweet sleep.
- Bathtub: Bubbles, people, bubbles.
- Coffee/tea maker: Essential.
- Mini bar: Stocked!
- Extra long bed: I'm tall, so this was pure joy.
- Safe!
- Complimentary tea!
- Desk: So I could actually get some work done.
- TV: I actually watched TV on vacation, what?!
- and on and on…
Every room is like a mini-spa for relaxation. They really think of everything (slippers?!) and offer all these other features:
- Smoke detectors!
- Soundproof rooms
- Non-smoking rooms
- Air conditioning in public area
- Wake-up service
- Daily housekeeping
Food, Glorious Food (Mostly!)
The dining experience at Unbelievable Slawitsch is… a mixed bag. Let’s be honest. The Asian breakfast was a little off-kilter, but the Western breakfast was a glorious buffet.
- Restaurants: Yes, plural! Restaurants!
- Breakfast [buffet]: Amazing and the stuff of dreams.
- A la carte in restaurant: Available.
- Coffee shop: Check!
- Poolside bar: Ahhhh.
- Snack bar!
The happy hour was definitely happy. And the desserts? Oh, the desserts. They had this German chocolate cake that nearly brought me to tears. Maybe I am just a sucker for sweets, but this cake was worth the trip in itself. They have breakfast service, alternative meal arrangement, and room service (24-hour). Though I did enjoy the food, I wasn't blown away per se. However, the overall vibe of the place more than made up for it.
Relaxation Station: Spa & Wellness
This is where Unbelievable Slawitsch truly shines. I am not a spa person… or, at least, I wasn't until I went to Unbelievable Slawitsch.
- Pool with view: Yes. Gorgeous.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Perfect.
- Spa: Amazing
- Sauna: Hot. In a good way.
- Steamroom: Steamy. In a good way!
- Massage: I had a massage. It was the best massage of my LIFE. I actually drifted off into a blissful sleep and forgot I was a grumpy traveler. It was perfect.
The body scrub and body wrap treatments were… interesting. (I'll leave it at that.) The gym/fitness is also there. I didn't make use of this, because, well: cake.
Things to Do (Besides Eat Cake and Get Massaged)
Okay, so maybe you do want to do things besides eat cake and get massaged. Unbelievable Slawitsch has you covered:
- Bicycle parking!
- Terrace: Beautiful for lounging.
- Gift/souvenir shop: Perfect for grabbing something for your annoying coworker. (I did!)
- Shrine? Uh, yes. A very peaceful one!
They also have facilities for disabled guests. There is a meeting/banquet facilities and other services and conveniences such as a concierge, cash withdrawal, currency exchange, daily housekeeping, doorman, dry cleaning, elevator, facilities for disabled guests, food delivery, gift/souvenir shop, indoor venue for special events, invoice provided, ironing service, laundry service, luggage storage, meeting/banquet facilities, meetings, meeting stationery, on-site event hosting, outdoor venue for special events, projector/LED display, safety deposit boxes, seminars, smoking area, terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center, and so on.
For the Kids?
While I don't have any kids myself, the hotel is definitely family-friendly. There are babysitting services and kids facilities. They seem to be prepared for whatever comes.
The Bottom Line (and Why You NEED to Book)
Unbelievable Slawitsch is not just a hotel; it's an experience. It's a chance to disconnect, recharge, and maybe, just maybe, find a slice of inner peace. (Or, you know, eat a whole cake. Your call.)

Feriendorf Slawitsch & Me: A Hot Mess Itinerary (Let's Hope I Don't Get Lost)
Okay, so, Feriendorf Slawitsch. Sounds charming, doesn't it? Think "quaint German village" met "budget family vacation." And after the week I've had, quaint sounds divine. Let's see if this itinerary can save me from myself… or at least keep me from winding up in a ditch.
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic
- 9:00 AM (ish) - Airport Drama: Arrive at… something. I'm pretty certain it's Berlin Brandenburg. Praying the luggage makes it this time. Last time, I spent three days in Barcelona wearing a novelty t-shirt of a flamenco dancer. Not a good look. Anxiety levels: High.
- 11:00 AM - Train to Somewhere: Figure out this whole German train system. Apparently, it’s not always as efficient as advertised. Praying I speak enough German to say “Where’s the bloody toilet?” or “Is this train heading towards Slawitsch, or do I need to change again?” Anxiety Level: Even Higher, because I'm picturing myself stuck in a train toilet indefinitely.
- 1:00 PM - Taxi to Heaven (hopefully): The village in theory is around 2 hours far away, after the train to the closest point near the village. Find a taxi. Negotiate the price. Hope the driver doesn't think my attempts at broken German are hilarious, and instead just gets me to my bungalow. Pray that the bungalow is actually habitable, not some shack that's been abandoned since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
- 2:00 PM - Bungalow Bliss (or Disaster): Check in. Unpack. Assess the damage. Is the toilet functional? Is there hot water? Am I going to freeze to death? Take deep breaths. Maybe pop a Prosecco, just in case. Emotional State: Cautiously optimistic… but mostly terrified.
- 3:00 PM - Village Reconnaissance (or "Where's the Beer?"): Wander around. Locate the village square. Find a bakery. (Must have pastries! This is non-negotiable.) Scope out any likely-looking pubs. Mentally prepare myself for the inevitable language barriers. Emotional Reaction: A grudging acceptance that this trip might not be a complete catastrophe.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner Debacle (or Delight): Try to eat a German meal. Order something I can actually pronounce. Pray it doesn't involve liver or sauerkraut. Hope it's good, it's tasty for me, that it will be some amazing food.
- 9:00 PM - Early Night: Collapse in bed. Pray for a good night's sleep. Dream of pastries.
Day 2: Lost in Translation & The Glorious Lake
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast Blues: Discover that the "continental breakfast" is mostly bread and cheese. Force down some coffee (it's probably awful, but who cares). Secretly mourn my lack of bacon. Emotional State: Mildly grumpy, but fueled by caffeine.
- 9:00 AM - The Hike From Hell (or maybe just a gentle stroll): Attempt a hike in the surrounding woods. Get slightly lost. Swear at the map in multiple languages. Realize my hiking boots aren't as comfy as they looked. Emotional State: A mix of frustration and self-pity.
- 11:00 AM - Lake Time! (The only thing that matters): Finally find the lake (Slawitscher See, I think it’s called). The photos online looked idyllic. It's supposed to be perfect, crystal clear. I hope. Take a deep breath. Run straight in. The water is amazing! Absolutely friggin' freezing, but amazing. Forget the world, forget my worries. Suddenly, I'm five years old again, and all I care about is splashing and sunshine. Soak up the sun, and swim more than I think is humanly possible. Forget the hike. Emotional State: Pure, unadulterated bliss.
- 1:00 PM - Picnic Prep & Fail: Decide to have a picnic by the lake. Discover I forgot the picnic basket. And the cutlery. And the bottle opener. Eat cheese and bread directly from the supermarket packaging while watching smug families enjoy their perfect picnic baskets. Emotional State: Mildly envious & hungry.
- 3:00 PM - More Lake (Obsessed, much?): Back to the lake. Do it again. This time, I’ll try and reach the little island that’s in the middle. Emotional State: Now determined to get to the island at all costs.
- 6:00 PM - Pub Perfection (or Beer-Induced Oblivion): Find a pub. Order a beer. Realize I still can't speak German. Point at the menu and hope for the best. This is where the fun really begins. Engage in some good ol' fashioned people-watching. Emotional State: Relaxed and slightly tipsy.
- 8:00 PM - Attempt at Culture (Maybe): Google "German Folk Music: Where to Listen" and realize all the pubs are at capacity. Decide a nice walk will be better.
Day 3: The Double-Down on Lake-Life & The Bakery’s Secret
- A.M. - Lake Domination: Wake up, and the sole purpose is to enjoy the lake as much as possible, which the entire world has already witnessed. Get up, get on a bike, or run like crazy, get there and get to the lake. Swim, sunbathe, and get to the point where I’m basically one with the shimmering water. Emotional State: Fully transformed, and now I’m basically a mermaid!
- 1:00 PM - The Bakery Reconnaissance: Now I know what the best bakery is (it involved a LOT of sampling, and possibly some accidental glares at a particularly aggressive customer). I would buy a croissant, a pretzel, a strudel, and a few sausage bread. Consume all to the point where stomach has to be really, really, stretched. Emotional State: Fully stuffed, and happy.
- 7:00 PM - (Optional) Castle Visit: If I can pry myself away from the lake, maybe I'll visit the local castle. But I think it's unlikely. I'm really stuck on the lake.
- Late Night - Contemplation: Stargazing by the lake, because it will be cold, and I will be shivering. Think about everything. Because there's no wifi, nothing else to do. Emotional reactions: calm, grateful and thinking of all the things I should do for the rest of my life.
Day 4: The End is Nigh… Maybe?
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast… Again? More bread and cheese. The routine, the same.
- 9:00 AM - Last Lake Hurrah! A final, glorious swim. Maybe I’ll even try to stand-up paddleboard. (Wish me luck. I'm about as graceful as a walrus.)
- 12:00 PM - Packing Purgatory: The dreaded packing. Try to get everything back in my suitcase. Fail miserably. Sit on the suitcase. Sit on the bunglow. Emotional State: Reluctant acceptance.
- 3:00 PM - Train/Taxi to Berlin Drama, Part 2: Pray the trains are on time. Pray I make it to the airport. Pray my luggage doesn't go on a solo adventure. Emotional State: Already missing the lake.
- Flights and back, back home.
- 4:00 PM - The Rest of the Trip, just the same as before.
Final Thoughts (or Ramblings):
Honestly? This trip, in its messy, imperfect glory, could be exactly the escape I needed. Feriendorf Slawitsch might not be pristine, perfect, or even remotely luxurious, but if it gives me a chance to splash around in a lake, eat pastries, and get lost and find myself, then it’s a success. And maybe, just maybe, coming home with a sunburn, a slightly expanded waistline, and a suitcase full of laundry will be the best souvenir of all. I can't wait to go to the lake.
(Disclaimer: This itinerary is subject to change. And probably will. Frequently. Be prepared for chaos. And bring extra underwear.)
Orbit Hotel Midnapore: Your Midnapore Getaway Awaits!
Unbelievable Slawitsch: You HAD to Ask! (And I HAD to Answer... Eventually)
Okay, Seriously, What IS Slawitsch, and Why Am I Supposed to Care?
Alright, alright, settle down, folks. Slawitsch. Think of it like... well, imagine stepping into a time machine and accidentally setting the dial to "Somewhere Weird, Possibly in Germany, Definitely Charmingly Quirky." It's a tiny village, practically a blink-and-you'll-miss-it speck on the map, nestled in… *deep breath*… well, somewhere. (Look, the geography isn't my strong suit, okay? Just GO!)
But why care? Because it's different. It's not overrun with selfie sticks and overpriced souvenir shops. It's real. It's...human. And, frankly, it's a welcome break from the endless parade of the same old, same old tourist traps.
How Do I Actually GET to Slawitsch? (And Please Tell Me It's Not a 12-Hour Train Ride)
Look, I'm not gonna lie. Getting to Slawitsch isn't exactly a breeze. Think less "direct flight from New York" and more "amateur treasure hunt involving trains, buses, and possibly a very confused taxi driver." It's gonna take some planning, maybe a bit of luck, and definitely a healthy dose of patience. Google Maps is your friend, but double-check everything. I once ended up in a cow pasture. Don't ask.
My advice? Embrace the journey. Pack snacks. Download some podcasts. And if you see a bakery, STOP. You'll thank me later.
What's There TO DO in Slawitsch Then? (Besides, You Know, Exist?)
Okay, this is where things get interesting. Don't expect a theme park. Forget about nightclubs. Slawitsch is all about... well, being present. You wander the cobblestone streets. You talk to the locals (if your German is better than mine, which, let's be honest, it probably is). You soak up the atmosphere.
There's the [mention a specific restaurant or shop in Slawitsch - be creative! Make it up if you have to!], where the owner, Frau Schmidt, makes the *best* Käsespätzle *in the world*. Seriously. I'd travel back there just for that. Then, there’s the… [mention a specific church, park, or other feature] which is...well, it’s a [describe it in a messy, human way]. And, just walking around is a sensory experience. The air smells like fresh bread and…something else. Something earthy. I loved it…mostly.
Is it Tourist-Friendly? Like, Do They Speak English or Am I Screwed?
Tourist-friendly? Well... that depends on your definition. Let's just say the locals aren't exactly expecting hordes of Americans. English is… patchy, to put it kindly. But here's the thing: people are friendly. Gestures, smiles, a phrasebook, and a willingness to look utterly ridiculous will get you surprisingly far.
I remember one time, I tried to order a coffee, and ended up accidentally asking for a… well, let's just say it involved a rooster and a rather bewildered shopkeeper. Humiliation aside, it was hilarious. It's those awkward moments that make the trip memorable!
Where Should I Stay? (Hotels? B&Bs? Hostels? Or Should I Just, You Know, Sleep In a Ditch?)
Okay, ditch-sleeping is probably a bad idea. Slawitsch isn’t exactly teeming with luxury hotels. You are more likely to find a guesthouse, a cozy *Pension*, or maybe even a local who offers a spare room on Airbnb. Do your research beforehand! Finding a place can be tricky.
My experience? Well, I stayed at this tiny guesthouse, which was…charming. In a very, very, very rustic way. The bathroom was down the hall, the water pressure was…nonexistent at times, and there were definitely creatures sharing the roof with me. But the breakfasts! Homemade bread, local jams…it was a culinary experience in itself. It wasn’t perfect, but I don't think I would have traded it for anything. It was so authentic!
What Should I Pack? (Besides My Common Sense?)
Comfortable shoes. Absolutely essential. You'll be doing a lot of walking. Warm clothes, even if it's summer. Layers are your friend. A phrasebook (or a good translation app). Cash – credit cards aren't always welcome everywhere. A camera. And most importantly, a healthy dose of curiosity and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.
Oh, and pack an umbrella. Because, you know, it rains sometimes. And a sense of humor. You'll need it.
The ULTIMATE Question: Would You Go Back?
Without a doubt! Despite the slightly dodgy directions, the language barrier that made me look an idiot more than once, and the questionable plumbing, Slawitsch got under my skin. It’s a place that stays with you long after you leave. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best experiences aren't about perfect itineraries or Instagram-worthy photos, but about the messy, imperfect, and utterly human moments.
I miss the scent of fresh bread, the warmth of the locals (even when they didn't understand me), and the feeling of being genuinely *away* from it all. So yeah, I'd go back. In a heartbeat. Just maybe…I'll learn some German first.
