JUFA Hotel Tieschen – Bio-Landerlebnis***
Holidays on the farm in the thermal spa region of Styria & Eastern Styria
The cosy country style of the village combines traditional thermal spas and fascinating seasonal cycles, from sowing to harvesting. Your holiday home for the entire family is situated amidst serene vineyards, close to the Austrian-Hungarian-Slovenian border triangle. Wake up looking forward to another carefree day of your holiday surrounded by magnificent scenery!
“Ex-perience” the real countryside day-to-day, with a children’s mini-farm and idyllic gardens: Whether as a family, a school class, or as a seminar participant, children and adults acquire useful information on-site, regarding crop plants and farm animals. While children let off steam in the large playgrounds, or make friends with the animals in the pet zoo, parents can unwind in the relaxation area or in the in-house “Schwitzstadl” (sauna). During the warmer months of the year, for example, you can explore the tree-house and the herbs garden, test your skills on the slackline, or simply enjoy the gentle hilly landscape, while tasting the region’s delicacies. If you favour a bit of vineyard atmosphere, book one of our rustic Kellerstöckl (converted wine cellar) apartments, a real highlight for your family holiday!
Our location in Tieschen excels as a conference hotel, due to its good accessibility and proximity to nature: Perform seminars directly beneath the trees, on the green meadows, or occupy the extensive seminar rooms with direct access to the romantic inner courtyard.
In Tieschen, country tours are on the schedule, from the springtime to the autumn harvest time. Rent one of our bikes and go on a relaxing bike tour, along the Styrian Castle Road. Enjoy bathing fun, hike and stop over at country taverns, visit exhibitions and open-air museums or experience fascinating Herberstein Animal World – the region offers plenty of variety for young and old guests. Escape the day-to-day, regardless of wind and weather? This is nowhere as easy as in the Styrian thermal spa region!
