Summer holiday in Austria

The bigger the choice ...

… the harder - or let's say the nicer - it is to choose. How about a riddle-filled adventure hike on the Mountain Kodok, right next to our hotel in Hinterglemm? Or a spontaneous day trip to the picturesque regional capital of Salzburg? Of course, we also have animals on our farm, but the Salzburg Zoo or the Ferleiten Wildlife Park are another calibre. Usually, nature is on top of the priority list for summer holiday in Austria. And if you love nature, don't miss out on its marvels such as the giant ice cave Werfen or the Krimml Waterfalls. If the weather doesn't show its sunny face, destinations such as the Mittersill National Park Centre step in.
