Carinthia's secret mountain and hiking paradise

Finally, some peace and quiet & nature

Would you like to spend a vacation in Austria with your dog? In our little natural paradise in the herb village of Irschen, dog owners and their four-legged friends can breathe deeply and recharge their batteries. A natural spa, swimming pond, and excellent regional cuisine from chef Markus for the two-legged guests, and plenty of space to romp around in a large natural area for the four-legged guests. Highlight: alpaca hikes. The Kreuzeck Group is an almost untouched hiking paradise in the Upper Drau Valley near the Lienz Dolomites—ideal for planning a vacation in Austria with your dog. But it's not just dogs that feel at home here, surrounded by beautiful alpine pastures, mountain lakes, easily accessible peaks, and gorges—leisure hikers do too.

Silent snowy worlds

Time out in Carinthia for the soul

Far away from the hustle and bustle and stress. Away from sensory overload and crowds. In an exclusive, peaceful natural setting. In the middle of a magnificent winter landscape. Our small, 16-room nature hotel is the ideal place to experience unlimited relaxation experience during your winter vacation in Carinthia .

 

Wintertime is considered heavenly, harmonious, and inspiring. This is also true of our hiking hotel in Carinthia. The culinary delights prepared by host and chef Markus are heavenly, the atmosphere in and around the hotel is harmonious, and the conversations with host Simone are inspiring. This is how your Carinthia vacation turns cold days into warm memories.

Hey
!

We are delighted to welcome you to our small, charming hotel—the smallest hiking hotel, but perhaps the largest hideaway in the countryside. We are particularly proud of our own herb garden: fresh mint, fragrant thyme, vibrant marigold, and many other treasures that we use in our slow food cuisine. This is what nature tastes like, this is what true relaxation feels like.

I will personally reveal the most beautiful mountain experiences around our herb village, whether on foot or by e-bike.

Digital detox on a hiking vacation

It is the constant stream of news, likes, and appointments that pulls us into a vortex and gradually obscures our view of real life. Digital detox on a hiking vacation gently clears our heads and makes us happy (again).
