    Highlights

    Private swimming pond

    With 12m in length and spacious footbridges to lie on, it's the ideal place to spend a summer's day. Have fun in the water, swim or dare a refreshing jump from the boulder!

    Working farm

    On our farm, we milk our cows, pet our cats, collect eggs from our busy hens and feed our bunnies with carrots - as it should be...

    Large playground

    Huge sandbox, play tower, wave slide, trampoline, 4 go-karts, pedal tractors, table tennis ... are all there waiting for you!

    Stunning view & secluded location

    At daylight, it's the spectacular mountain view and at night, it's the clear sky filled with dazzling stars that make our guests stand in awe.

    About Us

    Welcome to our farm Knirschenhof!

    Nature has gifted us. Plentiful. With plenty of space and room for us and our guests. Start your day with an ample breakfast with farm products. Observe, pet and feed our animals. Each of them loves getting attention. Take the time to stroke the cat’s fluffy, warm fur.

    Regular meeting: 17:30 in the barn! Feed the cows yourself, watch them being milked ... How does fresh milk taste? How many eggs does a hen lay? How much milk does a calf drink? Get to know the answers.

    Alpine skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, tobogganing - here, you can have it all. Nestled in the mountains surrounding the Windischgarstnertal valley, you’ll find our farm in a sunny, quite location. The ski resorts “Wurzeralm” and “Höss” for advanced skiers are nearby and the ski lift on the farm “Hotz” is especially great for families with small children and beginners.

    Our farm is only 1 km from the floodlit natural toboggan run.

    Cross-country skiers will rejoice about the vast network of trails and the biathlon centre which comes with ideal snow conditions until April. All those who’d like to experience something special can embark on a guided snowshoeing walk through the Kalkalpen National Park. Children are very fond of building snowmen and having a snowball fight in the white winter wonderland.

    Enjoy your time. As you like it.

    Highlight: Visit an authentic Christmas market in our Pyhrn-Priel region! What are you waiting for? Book one of our holiday apartments and enjoy your day to the fullest!

    ... Don’t forget to book our ample breakfast buffet!

    We are looking forward to welcoming you!
    The Polz family

    Life on our farm Knirschenhof is a treat for palate and soul!
    Familie Polz

    Living at Knirschenhof is a delight - we produce a variety of culinary delights such as noodles, eggs, yoghurt, milk, butter, apple juice and, of course, fruity jams for breakfast. We make 16 different types of noodles on our farm. Come, try and savour!

    Our rich farm breakfast has even more to offer: fresh milk, freshly baked rolls and pastries, sweet jams, a spicy curd cheese spread, muesli, a soft-boiled egg. Or do you prefer scrambled eggs? And, last but not least, fresh yoghurt with the sweetest fruits from the farm garden. Pure delight!

    Would you like your breakfast served to your holiday apartment? Our baker will gladly deliver all orders to the front door.

    Taste nature. Enjoy the moment!

    Our animals are as diverse as the landscape. Cows, calves, cats, colourful rabbits or chicken plus two roosters - all of them are happy if you pay them a visit. Our cats love to get a handful of dry food, our rabbits prefer daffodils, carrots and old bread and the chicken...

    ... feel how smooth and warm the cats’ fur is when they’re basking in the sun...
