A vacation at the Zirbenhütte is a bit like taking a break from it all, and somehow you get the feeling that time has stood still here. On the first floor, there’s a living room, a kitchenette with a refrigerator, and a cozy sitting area. The fire crackles in the tiled stove and the open fireplace, and the cozy bed in the living room is the whole family’s favorite spot. The TV gets little attention; instead, there are games like “Mensch ärgere Dich nicht,” Monopoly, “Schnapsen” (a Styrian card game), and more. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, each with a double bed and a bunk bed. The wooden floors exude coziness and warmth, and the scent of the Swiss stone pine furniture will enchant you. There are also two bathrooms: one with a wooden bathtub, toilet, and sink, and one with a shower, toilet, and sink. Just under 70 m² of cabin charm for your family or a get-together with friends. In front of the cabin, you can enjoy a mug of punch or mulled wine in the afternoon sun while taking in the magnificent view of the valley.
