Engagement in front of Neuschwanstein Castle
Hotel Das RĂŒbezahl in the AllgĂ€u region of Germany is known as a romantic hideaway that loves to help couples with their proposals. And let’s face it, it doesn’t get much more romantic than proposing in front of a fairytale castle, does it? Although, Das RĂŒbezahl does have a few other ideas up its sleeve.
Surprise in the hotel room
While you and your partner are enjoying the creations of the local cuisine in the restaurant, the “fairies” of the hotel will transform your room into an oasis of romance: a heart made of flower petals, heart balloons, fresh strawberries, champagne… As soon as you return from dinner, your room door will open the door to the next stage of your life. All you need is a ring and a “yes”. Then you can enjoy this special moment in private.
Dessert proposal
If you prefer to propose to your sweetheart right in the restaurant, you can order a dessert plate with your personalized love message. In the kitchen, the plate will be decorated in such a way that it will only be visible after the dessert has been eaten.
Proposal in front of a fairytale castle panorama
The mountain panorama in the AllgÀu region with the fairytale castle of Neuschwanstein in the background is an absolute highlight for your proposal. For such occasions, there are several romantic picnic spots that the hotel will be happy to recommend to you, and a picnic basket filled with delicacies will be arranged for you. If you wish, a chauffeured vintage car or horse-drawn carriage will take you to the romantic spot of your choice. (Or you can hike, and the carriage will pick you up after the picnic).

| Renting is more sustainable than buying: By renting everything from room decorations to picnic baskets for your proposal from a Romantic Hideaway instead of buying new for this once-in-a-lifetime event, you save valuable resources. |
Proposal on the Romeo & Juliet Balcony
The Hotel KlosterbrĂ€u in Tyrol, Austria also has the perfect spot for an engagement. The “Romeo & Juliet Balcony” pictured here is part of the 500-year-old monastery walls that the Seyrling family converted into a sustainable hotel. Here you can enjoy a flying dinner – it comes to you via a service elevator on the balcony, and you drop your orders through an ordering tube.
You can also book an overnight stay in one of the two private spa suites, where a large bubble bath and culinary delights await.
âMy bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.â William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet

Proposal on the Baltic Sea
The owners of the Lifestyle Hotel SAND at the Baltic Sea beach are happy to organize an evening arrangement on the beach for you. You only have to tell your beloved that you want to go for a walk on the beach. Then you will find the prepared sunset picnic with torches.
After the romantic engagement on the beach, the lifestyle hotel offers elegant and naturally furnished hotel rooms with a large window front. You can also enjoy togetherness on the cozy SunDiva loungers on the roof terrace. Or you complete your proposal with a night under the stars and book the sleeping beach chair for two.
Get engaged in a private chalet in South Tyrol
Another idea: Take your loved one to South Tyrol in one of the private chalets at the ADLER Lodge RITTEN. The small wooden chalets have their own bio-sauna and wood-burning fireplace. From the balcony, you have a direct view of the natural pond or the mountains of the Dolomites. In this setting, there should be no shortage of special moments!
Proposal in a natural way
If heart-shaped balloons, horse-drawn carriages and Romeo & Juliet balconies sound too much, Gut Sonnenhausen specializes in nature-based engagements and weddings. Surrounded by meadows and converted into a hotel, the estate is a wonderfully relaxed place with a loving atmosphere. Here, you will find it easy to ask for your partner’s hand in marriage. You can plan a dinner at the Farmers Club or take a leisurely stroll through the countryside.
Sustainable engagement: The Ring
The most important part of your proposal is, of course, the ring. But keep in mind that many rings are anything but sustainable. Gold, diamonds, and gemstones are often mined under exploitative conditions. Gold, for example, is mined in many places under life-threatening conditions, not to mention the use of environmentally harmful chemicals.
The Fair Trade label for gold has been available for several years. It guarantees that the workers have safe working conditions, are paid fairly, and that environmental standards are met.
An alternative is rings made from recycled gold, which many jewelers now offer. Or maybe you have a family heirloom that you can have a goldsmith make?
As you can see, there are many romantic ideas for an unforgettable and sustainable proposal.
PS: If you would like to capture your proposal in professional photographs, our Green Pearlsâ partners will be happy to book a photographer for you.
