Gasthof in der Exlau

The Exlau lies in one of the most scenic sections of the Danube region. Surrounded by high, wooded and stony slopes, into which the Danube has dug its stony bed over thousands of years, the Exlau is not without reason called the "Upper Wachau".

The name has appeared in the vernacular for many centuries. At that time still known as "Öxlau" or "Ochsenau", the present name Exlau has been found in the history of the municipality of Kirchberg ob der Donau since 1806.

The Exlau inn is located in the Mühlviertel (Upper Austria) and is situated on the left bank of the Danube in the middle of the "Natura 2000" nature reserve.

It is 47 kilometres from Passau or Linz to the Exlau. For cyclists, it is ideal to stop at our hotel after a day's ride and spend a well-deserved evening break or a relaxing night in our tastefully furnished rooms.

In 2015, we built the first artificial curling rink in the Rohrbach district to enable our guests to enjoy curling even when it is not cold in winter.

From December to March, you can shoot every day from 8 a.m. to midnight on our two covered, evening-lit rinks with wooden or Olympic sticks - completely independent of warm temperatures, snow or rain.

Sufficient target water and a meal for refreshment are provided at our inn! We will be happy to prepare ribs, roast meat from the wood-fired oven, knuckle of pork or other specialities (e.g. fried chicken, baked bacon and greaves dumplings, cheese spaetzle,...) for you on advance order.
