My Favorite Places
around the Hideout
Your HideOut in the Gesäuse
The Gesäuse is my home. I grew up here, know the quiet paths and the places where the water tells stories.
This collection is not a classic tourist list – it’s my personal treasure.
All spots are located no more than 30 minutes away from the HideOut, because for me, relaxation begins where the car can take a break.
A small note: We are still a bit “sleepy” here – and that’s exactly what makes it charming.
Please check the current opening hours on the websites beforehand or simply give them a quick call.
