A small seasonal change can make a big difference when you are timing check-ins, asking questions, arranging bookings, or picking up essentials.

What changes in April at Adelhof?

One important detail: there is a lunch closure every day

Yes, there is a midday break.

Both the reception and the on-site shop close daily from 12:00 to 13:00 before reopening in the afternoon. On weekdays and Saturdays, services continue until 17:00. On Sundays from 1 April onward, they continue until 16:00.

If you are planning to stop by around noon, this is the most useful detail to remember.

Reception and shop follow the same schedule

A common question is whether the shop stays open longer than reception or opens earlier on certain days. At Adelhof, the answer is straightforward: the shop “de Adelhof” follows the same opening hours as the reception.

That consistency makes planning easier. You do not need to track two different schedules when you want to:

For many guests, that one-schedule approach removes confusion and helps streamline arrival-day tasks.

How to plan around the post-winter timetable

Knowing the April opening hour shift at Adelhof’s reception and shop is useful. Knowing how to use it is even better.

Here are the most practical ways to plan your visit.

1. Avoid arriving during the lunch closure

A better approach is to schedule your reception visit:

This is especially helpful if you need assistance with bookings, questions, or other practical matters.

2. Use Sunday hours from 1 April for extra flexibility

The Sunday opening window can be especially useful if your travel schedule is weekend-based.

From 1 April, you can plan a Sunday stop at reception or the shop during:

That gives you an additional service day that is not available during the winter timetable.

3. Remember that Saturday starts later than weekdays

From Monday through Friday, the reception and shop open at 09:00. On Saturday, they open at 10:00.

If you are used to the weekday rhythm, that later Saturday start is worth noting so you do not arrive too early.

4. Combine errands in one visit

Because the reception and shop share the same hours, it makes sense to group tasks together. For example, you can:
