Unfussy and natural. Modern and stylish. A house full of favorite places with a forest sauna, forest pond, spa, yoga, workshops and hikes in the Carnic Alps. Organic and slow food have been at home with us for decades and are combined without frills. More consciously, more slowly, with lots of flavor. More information at www.biohotel-daberer.at.

More varied, more exciting, more demanding Path, mostly along the stream. There are many small waterfalls to see. Can easily be combined with a trip to the climbing and archery hall in St. Daniel (800 m from the starting point)

Walking on the pedestrian bridge is a bit wobbly, but it offers a nice view of the Gail.
