The terrific country of Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen with its national park Kalkalpen (wonderful hiking region), many athletic facilities and interesting monasteries, like the Benediktinerstift Kremsmuenster, offers something for everybody. Be it candlelight concerts in music summer Klaus or the famous spa towns of Bad Ischl and Gmunden in the surrounding – already emperor Franz Josef knew, where it is the prettiest.

Specialities:
Visit us in March or April, when spring arrives and winter leaves, the forest radiates a pleasant calmness and everything has a recreating effect like nothing else. No phone is ringing (we don’t have one), instead a library with about 500 books, from novel to specialised book, is at your command. Narcissus festival: the mainly in the Auseeland appearing narcissus flowers according to the altitude from May to mid June. The large grasslands with its whie/ yellow flowers let the spring of the mountains be an event. You can pick flowers from all grasslands.
