Our lake tales the blog
Tales and moments, mysticism and magic
History or stories? Dream or reality? The boundaries between reality and fiction blur almost imperceptibly. The cuckoo murmurs, the pine whispers, the little brook gurgles. And they all tell stories of their experiences and fantasies. Around the Wolfsgrubner Lake.

Pool with a view of nature
Arriving in the water. The pool opens to the outdoors through wide windows. The floor recalls sun-warmed porphyry. A hint of wood mixes with light and quiet. The temperature stays pleasantly consistent. Wellness by the lake deepens the impressions, Culinary offers a silent place afterwards.
Water sets the pace. Glide, sit, look. The surface settles the mind, the breath finds its rhythm. Outside, lakeside paths wait; inside, warm corners.

Light dishes, regional glasses and tea moments are under Culinary.
After the long winter, warmth does good without becoming loud. This is what a spring bath with a view of nature feels like.

Movement follows the breath, not the clock. A path along the shore, a bench with a view, a glass of water. That’s how a day without pressure takes shape. The suite understands the pause, the bar the evening, the lake the quiet. Spring Offers 2026 give you options. Check availability guides you to the right date.
