Travel Plans: Where in Austria Would You Like to Go?

They are located in the most beautiful regions of Austria’s eight federal provinces. Our family farms welcoming you for a farm holiday in Austria are all set in a truly picturesque scenery. Eight diverse provinces - that’s eight opportunities for active, delightful or relaxing holidays.

In the mountainous province Vorarlberg, with its crystal-clear Lake Constance, mountains and valleys meet, traditions and Mediterranean ambience merge. Farm holidays in Austria’s westernmost province are ideal for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts and families.

In Tyrol, the heart of the Alps, you will not only find great infrastructure but also diverse cultural amenities and sports facilities. Mountains and their spectacular peaks attract people from afar. Where do you feel as free as on the very top, standing next to the summit cross?

Mozart’s birthplace, the lake district offering fun in the water and awe-inspiring mountains: the city of Salzburg and the surrounding province Salzburger Land attract everyone who’s fond of nature, culture and alpine landscapes. Not only the lakes in Salzburg are sought-after. Austria’s sunny south boasts lakes of blue and green colours, ideal for swimming, and a fascinating panorama of the Alps. We recommend long country walks, cycle tours or boat trips on a peaceful lake. Would you like to make your holiday dreams come true? The provinces Salzburger Land and Carinthia with their diverse scenery are the ideal destinations.

Secluded, down-to-earth places can also be found in Styria. In the green heart of Austria, great emphasis is put on regenerating body and mind. A landscape where you can leave all your cares behind! Its characteristic features are the vineyards in Southern Styria. Along with hot springs, this is the ideal region to unwind in peace and tranquility.

Upper Austria, where a hilly landscape meets the Prealps, is full of variety: lakes, riverscapes and mountain ranges - there’s plenty of beautiful corners to discover! Austria’s largest federal province by surface area, Lower Austria, has different regions each with its typical traits. The historical regions Weinviertel (“wine quarter”), Mostviertel (“cider quarter”) and the Danube region are dotted with fertile lands, vineyards and orchards. They are inviting spots for cycling and gentle walks. Have you already tried the famous Marillenknödel, sweet dumplings filled with apricots from the Wachau region?

Austria’s easternmost province, Burgenland, is famous for wine, cultural events known well beyond its borders, elegant castles and, of course, Lake Neusiedl. The lake is not deep but the favourable local winds make it a mecca for sailors, wind and kite surfers.
