Our newly renovated, spacious facilities in the castle invite you to relax. The traditional atmosphere of our beautiful castle will enchant you. Ideal for small to larger groups and families.

Take a break from the daily routine in our modern wellness-area.
Our relaxation room and terrace are fitted with sunloungers and are directly nearby the outside Sauna facilities. The large picture window offers a great view of the "Hohe Tauern" National Park.
And afterwards? Cool down in the snow? Or enjoy our relaxation room with a book on one of our loungers made out of massive natural wood?
A sunbath on our terrace is tempting during sunny weather. A view of the astonishing mountains of the National Park "Hohe Tauern" is guaranteed by our large picture windows.
And maybe enjoy a refreshing glass of spring water from the mountains?
This - and more - awaits you!

Enjoy the grilling evenings in our traditional wooden gazebo and in winter in our Grillhouse (finnish Grillkota)...

A great playground with a tree house, a lot of animals to pet (goats, rabbits, cows, our dog Tina, pigs, chicken), horse riding on our horse Simone, a lot of space to play and daily programs in the stable like feeding animals, looking for eggs - this offers action for children. Weekly guided hikes to the Saalhof alp pasture are popular among our guests.

Farm stay: Altogether 80 cattle and calves, 20 of which are milk cows, pigs, our goats Loisi with her fawn, chicken, our rabbits, our horse Simone, cats and our dog Tina play on our farm. Our rabbits Flecki and Punkti look forwarding to being pet and they look forward to fresh dandelions. At least once a week (as desired), we have horse riding for children with professional guides on our well behaved horse Simone. For good riders, you can go riding on our path networks at all times! During the summer, the cows come to the stable around 5:00 PM for milking and feeding; the farmers like it when people help and if they bring hay into the stable (for goats, rabbits, cows and the horse Simone) or feeding the calves... Right on arrival, there is a guide through the farm and stable with a lot of opportunities to get to know people and animals.

Our alpine pasture: Once a week in July and August, we have an excursion to our alpine pasture with about a 1-hour hike to the upper pasture at 1700 m: 100 cattle and 10 horses graze here. A lot of mushrooms and 'Schwammerl' can be found here starting in August and above all, during the Indian Summer in September and October! The farmer Kathrin would be happy to show you a few places! Those who want to dive into the original life of the farmers 200 years ago and want to live in harmony with nature for a little bit will feel comfortable in the atmosphere of the upper alpine pasture next to the kettle and butter churner. Visiting the upper pasture allows for a thrilling trip in time to the past....

Our garden terrace and playground: : The garden area consists of a terrace, mountain fountain, fountain hutch with spring water and gazebo, grill. Our well-kept garden area, the play lawn and the playground with a tree house, bridge, 2 swings, 1 slide, a climbing tree, a basketball basket and a sandbox is completely enclosed. Thus, parents can sunbathe or read a book without any worries... The highlight is our lying climbing tree: in the front with the head of the dragon from the
never-ending Story and in the back a dragon tail! The dragon is great to ride! The beautiful gazebo invites you to have cosy grill nights during nice summer evenings. A BBQ is available.

A wonderful place!
It was amazing to stay in such a historic and unique place. Perfect for our family to have their own space with kitchen, it made it very relaxing for everyone. The sauna was a big hit with the family as well. The host family is absolutely wonderful and very helpful. Being able to get fresh milk from the cows there on the property was very nice as well.

Summer Mountain Holiday
I had a wonderful time staying here. The owners are wonderful and the location is spectacular. This is a real farm owned by a family that pays a lot of attention to detail. The castle successfully blends old and new. There are great hikes available right from the castle. I will be back this coming summer with my family.

Very nice host and great location!
Katherine and her family were so nice, friendly, and welcoming. she was prepared for everything and had an answer for every question of ours(believe me they were so many!). she also had so many brochures and maps for sightseeing .. the location of the castle is great, there are nearby supermarkets and restaurants. Katherine family owns many kinds of animals that you can watch or play with. they have a very tasty water from the well and very good fresh milk that was milked from the cows twice a day! so yummy .. great experience, would do it again!
