A summer holiday in Styria

Nature, tradition and mountains

Sunshine. The scent of hay. Silence. Living in the here and now. A nature trail runs right behind our house, tempting you to explore the naturallandscape of the surrounding mountains. You can simply do nothing but soak upthe atmosphere and enjoy, or spend a little time resting on a bench in one ofour places of power (Krakau place of power hikes). And if you keep very quiet,you might even spot a deer or two.

The authentic traditional events, costumes and culture of the region arestill alive and well.
