Tips for things to do in the Stoder Valley

The Alpineum is worth a visit at any time of year. The fascinating exhibition tells the story of the Stodertal valley, from the dangerous work of the woodcutters to the development of the Totes Gebirge mountains and the evolution of skiing—from its early days to today's World Cup races.
This is no dusty local history museum. Historical exhibits are combined with modern multimedia elements, including a downhill skiing simulator that lets you experience the thrill of speed firsthand. A highlight for young and old alike. You can get all the information you need for your visit directly at the Wanderhotel Poppengut.

The Naturesports outdoor camp in Hinterstoder provides thrills. High ropes course, giant swing, or canyoning—the possibilities are endless. Mini rubber boats on rushing mountain streams or first experiences on a via ferrata provide adrenaline and fun. Suitable for children aged ten and above. If you would like to know exactly what is on offer, you can find all the details at the Wanderhotel Poppengut hotel.

Glide silently over the valley, enjoy the view, and feel your heart race—a tandem flight from the 1,200-meter-high Hütterer Hoss makes it possible. Depending on the thermals, the flight lasts 20 to 30 minutes, or longer in optimal conditions. If you are looking for an overview of providers, departure times, and safety information, you can find this directly at the Wanderhotel Poppengut.

 

Those who prefer underground adventures can explore the Kreidelucke cave near Hinterstoder—a natural cave that fascinates thrill seekers with its water features and easy climbing passages. Here, too, the Wanderhotel Poppengut is the ideal point of contact: tips, guides, and equipment recommendations are available directly from the hotel.

For golfers, the nearby 18-hole course in Windischgarsten offers everything your heart desires: a driving range, pitching area, putting green, and even a rain shelter. The course around the Edlbach Moor is particularly appealing, offering challenging players unique scenic impressions. All information about tee times, course conditions, and equipment is readily available at the Wanderhotel Poppengut.
