For families and children
Children can get impatient on rainy days. Getting up close to animals can be a welcome distraction on those days and there are numerous opportunities in the region:
forest animals and
game enclosures,
llamas and
alpacas,
horses (especially ponies), all species of domestic animals . . . you can even pay a visit to the
queen bee. We are happy to give you detailed information about the bad weather family programme at reception. We guarantee we’ll find an interesting alternative for you!
Museums, exhibitions, excursions
Rainy days are a welcome opportunity to learn more about a country and its people. Museums, exhibitions and excursions are an interesting start. The
local history museum in Schladming, the
winter sports museum in Haus im Ennstal, the
local history museum in Gröbming, Trautenfels Castle (approx. 20 min. from Schladming) or the
Admont Monastery (approx. 45 min.) are just some of your possible day trip destinations. By the way: these aren’t just alternatives for a rainy day!
Sölktäler Nature Park
The Sölktäler valleys are a natural jewel, largely untouched by mass tourism, and a geological peculiarity in the alpine region. The "
Großsölk Castle Nature Park House" has vivid, and sometimes astonishing, information about the valleys, their history and folk-cultural significance. The "
Natura Mirabilis" exhibition in Großsölk Castle, a walk through the
Jesuit garden with over 200 different species of plant or the
ice age themed trail - you can spend interesting and informative hours here while you dive into the history of the region.
