Holiday with the whole family: Explore the Traunviertel

Whether it's a short trip or a long vacation - traveling with the whole family brings people together and creates memories that you'll still be happy to talk about years later. You don't always have to plan everything down to the smallest detail - quite the opposite: it's much better to let your gut feeling guide you and adapt your vacation program flexibly to the weather and conditions.

A good mix of stimulation and relaxation

A holiday with children is often a bit of a challenge for parents. It is not always easy to accommodate all of the needs. That is why the perfect place for the whole family to go on holiday must meet several criteria: it should offer an exciting environment that invites you to explore, but also accommodation that both children and parents can enjoy. A perfect mix of stimulation and relaxation, so that after an exciting day together, when the little ones are already sleeping peacefully, the adults can enjoy a little wellness.

Mighty mountains, gentle hills: The Traunviertel introduces itself

Such an environment can be found in the Traunviertel, for example. This area in the southwest of Upper Austria is fascinating at first glance. Here, the Traun meanders through a unique landscape of mighty mountains and gentle, green hills, which is particularly popular with hikers and cyclists. In order to be able to enjoy the many activities in the fresh air to the full, it is important that your temporary home is also a special oasis of well-being. Because of course, an extra portion of wellness is a must on vacation! But how do you find the most beautiful accommodation from which you can easily take the cable car up to the Grünberg or relax after a round of summits on the Hirschwaldstein?

Lots of space to play and romp around: Accommodation especially for families

One thing is clear: families are best accommodated where their special needs are catered for. Because in order for children to feel comfortable, special offers and an environment that invites them to play and explore are needed. This is the only way for parents to relax properly and not have to worry. In a family hotel, there are always other children to play with, who may even become friends that you see again regularly on vacation. Such encounters are ideal for children. Outdoor playgrounds or a separate water world for girls and boys also make children's hearts beat faster.

Windischgarsten: mountain panorama & climatic health resort

From the safe haven, i.e. the ideal holiday accommodation, you can then explore the surrounding area perfectly. Windischgarsten, for example, is worth a visit. It is located in the south of Upper Austria and is known as a climatic health resort. There are many exciting options for lively leisure activities and sociable interaction here. Anyone who comes to this beautiful place for the first time can hardly stop being amazed, because the mountain backdrop in which the market town is embedded is truly breathtaking. In the south, the mountains of the Haller Mauern stretch into the sky, in the west the Totes Gebirge and in the north the Sengsengebirge. From here you can also be in the nearby Kalkalpen National Park in no time at all.

A holiday in the Windischgarsten region is therefore always a holiday in the mountains. And anyone who has not yet lost their heart to this fascinating landscape will do so on their next stay there. The way the rocks there have unfolded over the years not only leaves a lasting impression, but also provides a small lesson in the history of the earth, which is demonstrated here. And in winter, holidaymakers can get to the Hinterstoder and Wurzeralm ski areas in a flash. But even in summer, you can become one with the mountains on long hikes and exploration tours, some of which are guided.

Experience traditions up close

In addition to its ideal location and beautiful landscape, Windischgarsten is also known for its lively customs. Traditions are still maintained here. Cozy inns, cultural events and a wide range of shopping opportunities make a stay in the community of 2,400 people particularly varied. Concerts, theater performances, readings, a cabaret festival with a top-class cast or the annual Lederhosen meeting are all there to discover and enjoy.

A dip in the cool waters of one of the beautiful lakes and of course the great golf course are further highlights.
