We are guests at the Naturhotel Grafenast in Tyrol. This is what an eagle must feel like over the Inn Valley in Austria! Below us, the Inn winds its way through the valley in silver loops, while the summer heat creates a veil of haze.
The ancestral home of the Archduke Johann Hotel Bad Aussee was built in the 14th century. Since 1848 the house has borne the name of Archduke Johann, the great friend and patron of Styria. As early as 1900, the Erzherzog Johann Hotel was a spa hotel in Austria.
Langenlois proudly describes itself as the largest wine town in Austria. The Kamptal wine region, in which the Loisium Wine and Spa Resort is located, is well worth a visit. One thing applies to the region. Connoisseurs and wine lovers come here.

The Lutzmannsburger Therme and the Lutzmannsburg Kinderhotel Apfelhof are geared towards families with children. Here families can spend a holiday that is specially tailored to them and have lots of fun in the beautiful nature of Burgenland.
