What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The village square and church are a short walk down Bachstraße, and the peaks of the Steinernes Meer rise just beyond.
The rooms
Bedrooms are simple and finished in traditional timber, with private balconies looking straight out toward the Steinernes Meer.
The sauna
Slatted timber benches line the Finnish sauna, equipped with a classic wooden water bucket and ladle.
The relaxation room
Terracotta floor tiles lead into the basement relaxation area, where water trickles over a large central boulder.
At the table
Pine-paneled dining rooms lay out morning buffets of regional cold cuts, and the timber bar pours Austrian draft beer.
