The Styrian Thermal Springs Area near the point where the three countries of Hungary, Austria and Slovenia meet is home to a special kind of JUFA guesthouse.

The JUFA Tieschen operates under the motto of "getting in tune with nature" by offering a programme perfectly harmonised with the annual cycle of everyday life in the country.

This encompasses the sowing season in spring, cheerful harvest festivals in autumn and peaceful winter evenings in search of inner peace and quiet.

The favourable climate and location provide the very best prerequisites for excellent wines and outstanding culinary specialities.

A natural path leading up to the basalt crack on the 462 metre Königsberg Mountain provides hikers with an opportunity to find out all about the volcanic rock of the area.

Country customs which vary according to the time of year are vividly explained in order to present a detailed picture of life in the area.

The craft works, singing and work which go on at the JUFA Tieschen are planned to coincide with the various events which occur.

Food is mainly sourced from organic farms (regional and seasonal).

There is plenty for children, parents and school classes to experience.

A relaxing drive from Tieschen to Bad Radkersburg (13 km) will virtually take you into Slovenia.

The JUFA Tieschen is only 55 minutes away by car from Maribor, the cultural centre of north-eastern Slovenia.

Something is always happening all year round at the JUFA Tieschen.

Events range from putting up the maypole to the harvest festival to a biscuit exchange during Advent.

Football, wood crafts and a wide range of other activities are available to keep our younger guests amused. Guests both young and old enjoy a relaxing fishing trip or evenings around the campfire.

There is nothing like a dance to traditional folk music to raise the mood. Singing along and laughter are actively encouraged!

We are happy to organise a barn dance or special musical event for larger groups to provide everyone with a colourful and enjoyable final evening.

This JUFA guesthouse has achieved the Child and Family Friendly Guesthouse Award for 2010/11.

This is a seal of quality which is awarded to companies who do everything in their power to cater for the needs of their younger guests and excel in the amount of family friendly commitment they display.
