Where your holiday begins

We value your welfare. For this reason we have furnished our holiday flats and rooms by paying great attention to detail. Comfort and an atmosphere of contentment go wonderfully hand-in-hand with us – after all, you shouldn’t go without anything on your holiday. Our accommodation has a very inviting location – right in the Lake Weissensee Nature Park, a bit away from the hustle and bustle, yet still within walking distance of all activities.

It’s no matter whether you reside barefoot in the first row in our beach bungalow, prefer to call a comfortable double or single room your own, or enjoy the fabulous view of the lake from the balcony of one of our holiday flats. Whatever – you will feel right at home here with us.

For our breakfast buffet at the Ferienhof Hoffmann we attach a lot of importance to local products. Yoghurt, milk and quark all come from the organic farm on Lake Weissensee, pastries come from the local baker, honey from the nearby bee-keeper, eggs from the organic egg supplier, tea is from our own garden and many types of homemade jam can be chosen. Enjoy all that on the sun-deck or in the cosy dining-room, the “Kärntner Stube”.

The most enjoyable jump into the crystal-clear water of Lake Weissensee is made from the house’s own private bathing beach. Our access to the lake is exclusively reserved for our house guests and offers plenty of space to relax as well as play and run around. Here you can enjoy the water with a temperature of up to 24ºc in the highest-lying bathing lake in the Alps in complete peace.

Lake Weissensee can best be explored from the water, as twothirds of the lake is not built-up. For this reason, the most beautiful places and fascinating spots are often only reached on foot or from the water. We therefore have a boat available free of charge to our house guests.

For those seeking that extra bit of seclusion, there is our romantic wooden swing seat on the bathing beach, a spot protected from view to be alone with the fascinating sight of the play on colours of Lake Weissensee, a quite special experience of water.

There is a unique summer feeling on Lake Weissensee – the lake reflects its entire array of colours and teaches us how to be amazed all over again. Particularly impressive: from mountain bike routes to ship jetties or hiking trails, all leisure activities start right outside the door, or are just a stone’s throw away.

In winter the lake changes itself into the largest natural surface of ice in Europe and transforms mountains and forests into a romantic winter paradise. A layer of ice and snow ensure that Lake Weissensee lives up to its name of “White Lake” in winter. The lake can be relied upon to freeze over from mid-December with an impressive thickness of ice that can be up to 40cm deep. It’s not only the fairytale view that is fascinating, but also the range of activities on offer is pretty impressive, from ice-skating, skiing, cross-country skiing, sledging and horse and carriage rides to ice-hole fishing and ice diving. Try everything out at your leisure.
