Turn inspiration into a plan

Where could a few days take you?

Styria · Austria & Slovenia

Styria: vineyards and treehouses

Vineyards, two neighbouring worlds and a final night among the trees. Three of our stays form the backbone of one journey.

Where to stay: Hiša 1624, PURESLeben or a Bert cabin at Pogusch. Each base brings a different landscape.
What to explore: Vineyard viewpoints and mountain meadows. Travel times and seasonal opening shape the pace.
Where to eat: OPOK27, Lilli & Jojo and the memory of our lunch at Hiša Denk.

3 nights; add a fourth for a separate day at Schlegeis or on the slopes.

Zillertal and Tux: mountains with a good dinner at the end

Three nights of valley life, mountain views and spa time. Choose your base around the evenings you want.

3–4 nights in one base.

Emilia to your taste: a key to the city or a gate to the countryside?

Modena, Parma and Reggio: choose your base around your evenings, rather than the longest list of sights.

2–3 nights, with one forest day and one town day.

Chřiby and Slovácko: forest, château and a morning coffee

Buchlov, Buchlovice and Uherské Hradiště over a weekend with one base.

Our suggested allowance: 2–4 hours.

Inspiration for your own journey. Check current conditions before setting out.
