All Rooms/Apartments

As an organic farm, we produce many homemade products and can provide all services to suit your needs!
The Sonnenhof is located on an atmospheric hill surrounded by mountains, with a fantastic view of one of the most beautiful Alpine landscapes in the heart of Austria.
In summer, there are countless opportunities for hiking, climbing or cycling and, at the same time, exploring the most beautiful corners of the area, such as the Gesäuse National Park, the Dachstein or the Salzkammergut.
As a special treat, we have trips to our alpine pasture, where you can get a deep insight into the surrounding mountain range by the campfire. Afterwards, a dip in the "warmest Alpine lake in Styria" makes for the perfect end to the day.
In winter, numerous ski areas attract visitors, such as the Schladming World Cup ski area, the Planneralm, the Riesneralm or the Tauplitzalm. The Planneralm and Riesneralm can be reached by public transport in 35 minutes and we offer a pick-up service from the bus/train station.
Our guests, especially the children, are invited to come with us into the cowshed and watch us feed, milk, mucking out, grooming, jumping in the hay, collecting eggs, tasting fresh milk, etc. We have made it our mission to meet our animals at eye level despite keeping livestock. That's why we converted to a free-range barn with year-round access a few years ago. The animals are out on the pasture from April to October. Our chickens and ducks always have free access. This creates a special rural idyll that is very much appreciated by our guests.
It is also important to us to maintain our food sovereignty. Milk is processed as a hobby into ricotta, mozzarella, yogurt and curd cheese. Jams and chutneys are made from our fruit. I have a particular passion for the alchemy of juices and schnapps! In between, fresh farmhouse bread made from spelt and rye on a sourdough basis is also baked!
In our community, we grow outdoor vegetables with several families and share the harvest among ourselves. Therefore, there is also a lot for vegetarians and vegans to discover on the farm.
The orchard is the place of power, where you can feel the power of the old trees again, far away from the noise of everyday life. We accompany you with yoga exercises into a more conscious state of mindfulness.
We like to make music around the campfire and roast delicious corn on the cob, or maybe you just want to linger in the hammock and read a book.
As a special "treat", we have an alpine hut at 1300 meters above sea level, which offers a deep insight into the surrounding mountains. Ideal for groups and families. Doing things together creates a feeling of oneness. Wood is chopped for the campfire and cooked in the kitchen. The rippling water of the well can be heard in the background.

The children splash around in the jacuzzi and you stand in the outdoor shower and enjoy the wide panoramic view of the mountains, the alpine landscape, the cows and the forest. It is an invigorating place for forest education, sunrise tours and star hikes.

Host information

Thomas (famer):

You can sometimes find me on the mountain as early as 5 a.m., enthusiastically photographing a sunrise and philosophizing about life.

Despite many challenges, I am very happy to have grown up on the organic farm. This time shaped my relationship with nature in a very valuable way. After completing my plumbing apprenticeship, I moved to Graz, where I came into contact with social work through community service. I then completed further training and supported people with disabilities for over 10 years.

Over the years, I caught the travel bug and traveled to countries such as Turkey, India, Nepal, Laos, Indonesia,... Since then, I have felt wanderlust every now and then and have to pack my backpack to gain experiences that I try to implement at home.

I have been running the organic farm together with my parents Maria and Engelbert since 2014.

Karina (girlfriend):

Karina loves nature and the mountains. She studied sports science and English. As a trained Hatha yoga teacher, she accompanies you into a mindful everyday life. On herb walks and workshops, she shows you how to find medicinal plants and make healing essences from them yourself. In her free time, she likes to play the harmonium and tongue drum.

Maria (senior farmer):

Maria is the good soul in the house. With her loving nature, you immediately feel at home. She has exceptional skills as a cook and often prepares the most delicious dishes in no time, whether vegetarian or with meat.

She also literally has a green thumb, which makes every little plant that she gets her hands on grow and grow.

If you have an artistic passion in you, Maria can introduce you to the world of watercolor painting. She has shown off her artistic skills at several vernissages. Otherwise, she takes care of the house and the laundry.

Engelbert (senior farmer)

Engelbert used to be an on-board technician for rescue helicopters. He likes to talk about his experiences from that time in a very exciting way.

He is now retired and is following his calling of organic farming. With his philosophical nature, he likes to talk about the advantages of horned cattle, composting, spelt cultivation, forestry, homeopathy and Hildegard medicine.
