Der Öschberghof is a golf and wellness resort set on its own grounds outside Donaueschingen, at the source of the Danube on the eastern edge of the Black Forest, roughly a fifteen-minute drive from the town centre. The property is built around an 18-hole championship golf course, giving it a resort character distinct from the town and city hotels found elsewhere in the region, with low-rise buildings arranged around the fairways and surrounding countryside. Rooms range from Comfort and Deluxe categories to Suites and a dedicated Golf Suite aimed at golfing guests staying for multiple rounds. The wellness area is extensive, combining indoor and outdoor pools with a broader spa and wellness section offering saunas, steam rooms, and treatment rooms, making the resort a destination for wellness breaks independent of golf. Multiple restaurants on site cover everything from casual clubhouse dining to more formal evening menus using regional Black Forest ingredients, reducing the need to leave the grounds during a stay. A fitness centre rounds out the active offerings for guests not golfing. Service is resort-style, with staff coordinating tee times, spa bookings, and golf lessons, and the property attracts a mix of golf enthusiasts, wellness travelers, and small corporate retreats given its self-contained setting. Its position near Donaueschingen also allows access to the Danube source monument and the town's baroque palace, and the surrounding Black Forest and Swabian Jura offer hiking and driving routes for guests wanting to venture beyond the resort grounds.
