Between 1936 and 1941 most of the guests at the Wiesenhof were Germans, among them the daughter of the famous physicist Max Planck. After the war most tourists came from Italy, France and Switzerland and it was not until after 1951 that German guests again found their way to Pertisau, which became known as a climatic health resort during this period. In 1956, as a result of a devastating windthrow, timber prices plummeted and the decision was made to turn the Wiesenhof into a bed and breakfast for “summer visitors”.
