Spring Skiing Offer: sunbathing, fondue dinner and wild garlic cooking course - 5 Nights - 20.03. to 04.04.2023
From the middle of march the time of the "gourmet skiing" starts at our Klaushofstube:

Slopes and trail conditions are excellent, the sun starts already warming, and more and more guests use our free snowshoes, just to try out or for real high tours. Therefore, we have added a chapter in our lodge's manual for snowshoe hiking suggestions, from absolute beginners to well trained mountaineers.

Meanwhile, the wild garlic begins to sprout in the valley near Bad Ischl and Bad Goisern: an extremely delicate and healthy spring vegetable, which meanwhile has also conquered the gourmet and lifestyle cuisine and grows wild here in the riparian forests of the Traun River. It belongs to the genus of garlic plants and tastes reminiscent of chives and garlic, but milder. The young, green leaves are used for soups, salads, pesto, vegetables, pierogi and much more. In our region it is an integral part of the spring cooking.

That's why we decided to prepare a great package for you:

SPRING SKIING OFFER, with sunbathing, fondue dinner and wild garlic cooking course

including the following events:
* Fondue Dinner in the historical, private "Kaiserstube" (Emperor's parlour) of the lodge. Either classic Meat Fondue Bourguignonne, or original Swiss Cheese Fondue, according to your choice
* Wild garlic cooking class (one afternoon) with your hostlady Alla: We collect the wild garlic in the valley, and learn to correctly determine the plant and to distinguish it from poisonous lookalikes.

Shinrin-yoku - forest bathing in early summer - 7 Nights - 04.04. to 19.06.2022
Shinrin-yoku - The "forest bath cure" with the healing power of the mountain forest

The healing power of the mountain forests has been known and firmly anchored in alpine folk medicine for centuries. Since more than two decades, the medical effects of the forest on the human mind and body are now also researched by conventional medicine. In Japan, "Shinrin-yoku", which translates to "take a bath in the atmosphere of the forest", is now an integral part of the state health care and is even paid by the health insurance.

Numerous medical studies, especially from Japan and the USA, prove the beneficial effects of forest bathing:

✔ Strengthening the immune system and the body's defenses
✔ Alleviative of respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma or chronic bronchitis
✔ Stress reduction and promotion of mental regeneration (concretely proven by the reduction of the stress hormone cortisol)
✔ stimulant production of endogenous defense cells (DHEA, "killer cells")

Medically effective is the absorption of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes and phytoncides via the respiratory tract and the human skin. What sounds threatening at first, are in fact naturally produced organic substances of the forest trees. Terpenes are organic compounds that are produced in large quantities by coniferous plants such as firs, spruces, stone pine and mountain pine, as well as wild herbs such as thyme and peppermint. While the sesquiterpenes are responsible for the "beautiful fragrance", the monoterpenes are natural biopharmaceuticals that are produced by the trees for self-protection.

Add to this the well-known factors such as high oxygen content of the air, intense sunlight, extensive freedom from air pollutants, a physiologically optimal humidity and of course the stress-relieving calm of the mountain forest and simply the joy of our beautiful nature. Their sight acts via visual stimuli of the color "green" directly on the parasympathetic nerve and immediately provides for mental well-being.

Our Klaushofstube, located DIRECTLY AT THE FOREST, is the ideal location for a successful forest bathing cure. At our place, the forest begins right in front of the hut door, you can take the deck chair and a book in the forest or experience the forest with all your senses on lonely hunter's paths . All bedrooms face the forest, and thanks to our secluded location, you can sleep quietly with the windows open at night. The cottage is a biologically sound building, built from centuries-old natural trunks and fully equipped with 100% solid wood furniture.

Forest bathing is possible for everyone, and for your children, the forest and numerous small mountain creeks offer many and safe play opportunities in the immediate vicinity of the hut. Forest bathing does not mean hours of tours or sporting excellence. Rather, forest bathing means relaxation in the forest, light movement, the quiet working-up of the sounds, pictures and scents of the trees, flowers and torrents. Simply Relax & Enjoy!

As part of our Forest Bathing Week, we will get an introduction to the basics of forest bathing and the Shinrin-yoku philosophy, learn how simple actions and personal exercises can significantly enhance the beneficial effects of forest medicine, and apply them immediately , Culinary high-light is an Asian-Alpine menu evening with accompanying drinks in the private, historic Kaiserstube (= Emperor's parlour) of the hut.


7 NIGHTS at the holiday apartment of the historical hunting lodge Jagdhaus Klaushofstube, including bed linen/towels, all consumption costs like electricity/water/heating etc., WLAN Internet, 1 parking lot at private parking ground, final cleaning.

incl. Introduction into Shinrin-yoku exercises, textbook and Alpine-Asian dinner including food and beverages (Aperitif, Wine, Beer, Non-alcoholics, Coffee/Tea).

Late summer and autumn are optimal times for forest bathing. The medically effective elements are complemented by the wonderful, intense colors of the autumn forest and the mild daytime temperatures, which can easily rise to 20 °C due to the special microclimatic conditions of the Gosau valley.
