The story
Rüssels Landhaus in Leiwen, at Büdlicherbrück 1, 54426 Naurath (Wald), serves French and country cooking and holds one Michelin star (2026). The boutique hotel has 14 rooms and suites in a former mill in the Hunsrück, close to the Mosel wine region.
Harald Rüssel runs the kitchen and hunts his own game, so venison regularly appears on the menu. The gourmet restaurant serves creative modern cooking built on regional produce. Restaurant Hasenpfeffer focuses on wild game from the estate's own hunt and on local Landart cooking.
Ruth Rüssel leads the service and selects the wines, with a list centred on the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer. The mill keeps its original character, and the terrace sits beside the estate's own pond.
