Alcohol

The starting point of Im Eifel Gasthaus is to offer a cozy stay. This often also includes a nice bottle of beer or a glass of wine at the end of the day or with dinner. All included in the price. However, it cannot and should not be the case that the “free beer” is the reason for your stay at Im Eifel Gasthaus. A few beers are obviously part of the fun, but the moment the beers start to crowd out the premise of the Cycling package, we reserve the right to close the tap. The use of alcoholic beverages is on a reasonable basis within the ‘all-inclusive’ concept, if you want to drink a little more that is no problem however we charge a little extra at the end of your stay. 

Travel and Cancellation Insurance
An accident is in a small corner is an oft-heard saying, and although we do everything we can to prevent it, things can happen. For these cases, travel insurance is definitely a must, this saves a lot of problems and also an insurance also guides you in case of an accident or mishap. In addition to travel insurance, cancellation insurance is an important component not to forget, after all, you don’t know in advance if you will have to cancel unexpectedly and therefore you won’t incur expenses while having to cancel your stay. Having travel and cancellation insurance is the responsibility of you as the guest, and our assumption is that you have arranged it. In the event of a cancellation, our cancellation policy applies, which is not subject to dispute, and can be recovered from your travel and cancellation insurance. 

drugs

The use of or possession of drugs, soft and hard drugs is not permitted. We apply a zero-tolerance policy for this, if the use of drugs is detected, we will terminate the stay and the Gasthaus must be left immediately. Refunds of deposits or full payment will not take place. If necessary, we report relevant authorities in accordance with legal regulations.

Bedtime

A good night’s rest is important to us and we assume that our guests also want to enjoy a well-deserved night’s sleep after a nice day. Of course it happens to talk for a while or to slump. In principle, our common room closes at 22:00, in exceptional cases this can be later. If you use our common room, please note that there are also other guests. Together we ensure a pleasant stay.

The starting point for an athletic stay is: “The race is won in bed” (this has been said by many legendary racers). This applies to you as a guest and also to us. 

In order to be able to serve you fresh and fruity the next day, we would like to have at least eight hours of tidying, sleeping and preparation time between the moment the last of you goes to bed and breakfast. By the way, usual bedtime is around 10:00 p.m. and breakfast at 8:00.

Shoes

We would like to see that you do not walk in the house with cycling shoes. We have a special rack for the shoes, where you can also hang your helmet. Similar to what is common in skiing, including heating and drying your boots and helmet. Tip! Bring a pair of slippers or flip flops.

cycling outfit

To fully enjoy the Cycling package, proper clothing and well-maintained bike is a must. In the Eifel, more is demanded of the material than in the flat Netherlands. Brakes, wheels, tires and acceleration require extra attention. So is wearing a proper helmet.  You are and will always remain responsible for the safe condition of your material and clothing.

Traffic

In general, the traffic rules in Germany are like those in the Netherlands. The German motorists are usually extremely polite and careful. It would be nice if you adapt to that. As with a priority road with such a triangular sign, you let others on that priority road go ahead (even if you turn right). A red traffic light means you have to wait until it turns green. On a busy road you drive neatly behind each other instead of wide apart, and so on. Who knows, we may succeed in improving the image of the cyclist a bit more than is unfortunately the case in the Netherlands.

Routes

Routes are included in the Cycling package. In all cases, routes are made available, in GPX format, which have been compiled with care.

Of course, make sure that you are insured or closed during your stay and cycling, an accident is a small corner and can therefore happen quickly. Insurance is therefore not a superfluous luxury.

Accessibility

Im Eifel Gasthaus can be reached except by bicycle or on foot, by passenger car or small bus (up to 3.5 tons). For other traffic (motorcycles, trucks, buses), only destination traffic to Im Eifel Gasthaus is allowed.

Electric cars

Im Eifel Gasthaus does not have a charging point for electric cars, This also applies to charging via a “normal” socket, the risks involved in this have forced us to decide not to allow this from an insurance perspective. Recharging is therefore not possible and will have to be done at a suitable point for this purpose. If you want to know where you can recharge, we are happy to think with you, and advise you to have your car charged before you arrive so you don’t get into trouble.

Parking an electric car is ONLY allowed at the front of our Gasthaus, upstairs in one of the parking spaces. In the unlikely event of a fire, emergency services are not quickly on the scene, which means so much to anticipate. Want to know more? If so, please contact us!
