Around the Birkenhof
In Autumn 2006 we started to rework the area in front of the house, to increase the place for relaxing in the sun. A fence protects against the wind.
In bad weather you can sit in the new pavilion and by opening the great sliding doors you still have the smell from ouside.

Our swimmingpool, (10 x 6 m) heated with solar energy,
is located direct at the Birkenhof, together with a large lawn and deckchairs available for everyone.
If you would like to explore our valley "Gailtal" by bike, you can rent a trekking
or city bike from us. A fine trip is downstream to Hermagor by bike and back by train.
If you like hiking, we can offer you an area with routes of nearly all grades. You can
get a hiking map and a biking booklet from us. In the neighbourhood you find more
activities like guided hikings, climbing, mountaineering, riding, tennis, rafting, fishing ...

Our swimmingpool is in operation between end of May to September.
Our offers are suitable for children, because the parents get
reduction on the prices, depending on the age of the children.
The kids may spend their time on the playground with a wooden house,
swings, a seesaw and a climbing frame. But there is also lot of space
around the Birkenhof, where the kids can play, run, hide and seek.
A child's bike and a child's seat for a bike are available for short trips.

What you can expect
You are welcome with a glass of our self distilled spirit.
The lounges and the rooms are furnished in a typical Austrian country house style.
Our non smoking room is ideal for playing cards or board games and there is a small
library for some light reading. In the winter a tiled stove makes this room to the
favorite one of our guests. A shoe cleaning machine on the first floor may help you
after a trekking tour.

Our chef Mrs. Jank herself takes care of your well-being with her good plain cooking.
In the morning you help yourself from the breakfeast buffet with a wide selection.
On halfpension you expect a three-course meal in the evening, with the choice between two main courses.
Taste the fresh ingredients, like the salad from our garden.
In the "months of the fish" we offer you fresh fished river trouts out of the Gail - very delicious.
Every fortnight in summer we make a barbecue with salad from the buffet.
