Accommodations close to nature
Holidays in holiday flats, chalets, holiday homes and private rooms are very popular - preferably in the middle of nature. Here you will find ideas for natural and sustainable accommodations in Upper Austria.
1. Tree hotel and treetop trail in Kopfing in the Innviertel region
High up, between six and ten metres above the ground, 12 tree houses are enthroned, which are rightly called tree hotels and offer everything your heart desires. The tree hotels are located in the centre of the Baumkronenweg (treetop trail) nature adventure park.
2. Earth houses of the Villa Bergzauber
The listed Villa Bergzauber is a fascinating piece of jewellery. The pool offers an unforgettable view of the mountains of the Pyhrn region.
The ten new earth houses, which are tastefully furnished and have their own kitchen, are completely in harmony with nature. Five of the houses are suitable for two guests each, the other five earth houses are two-storey with two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom/WC and offer space for four guests each. Breakfast and dinner can be booked as an optional extra in the ground houses.
3. Ramenai: A special holiday in the forest
Get out of the big city and into nature, live in an original way, no hustle and bustle and lots of countryside. Ramenai, the Bohemian Forest village in the border triangle of Austria, Bavaria and the Czech Republic, epitomises the unaffected, the genuine and the aesthetic. In the middle of the tranquillity of the forest, the exclusive huts, which are devoid of excessive frills, are ready for a holiday with the whole family. A place to unwind and understand the history of the lumberjacks and farmers of yesteryear. To find peace and quiet in rural seclusion. A traditional way of life, but with a modern, contemporary design.
4. Nature Resort IKUNA
At the Ikuna Nature Resort, children will find everything their hearts desire on 200,000 square metres. The nature adventure park with 80 play stations is no ordinary adventure park, here you can experience nature in a playful way and feel it with all your senses. And you can sleep in one of the 4-star lakeside tipi suites or in one of the 10 brand-new starry sky chalets.
5. Bubbletents on Lake Attersee
Stay in a large air bubble and enjoy maximum comfort - the bubble tents are for travellers looking for a special experience. The bubble tents offer space for two to three people and are constantly supplied with fresh air. The transparent shell allows you to feel close to nature. One family - two bubbles.
6. Romantic chalet village Inns Holz in the Bohemian Forest
11 exclusive wooden cabins with great comfort - for example with their own fireplace and Finnish sauna and the bathing lake on the doorstep. What there is to experience in the surrounding area: let off steam in the neighbouring climbing park, cycle along the Schwarzenberg Schwemmkanal, play golf, pay a visit to the Premonstratensian monastery in Schlägl or explore the Villa Sinnenreich - an extraordinary museum of perception - in Rohrbach.
e-Car-Sharing in the Mühlviertel with muehlferdl.at - Travel by train to Linz, then take a romantic train journey to Aigen-Schlägl in the Bohemian Forest. Then travel flexibly by e-car for the entire holiday.
7. Almresort Baumschlagerberg
A holiday on a farm with a fantastic mountain backdrop, in a quiet, secluded location and with family-friendly facilities - from exclusive panoramic chalets, heated outdoor pool to cosy alpine suites. With our own spring water, fish dishes from local waters, our own dairy products and home-made bacon. Petting animals are of course just as much a part of a farm.
8. Camping Au an der Donau
Sleeping in barrels, wooden tents or huts. Or in your own accommodation that you bring with you. Camping Au is located directly on the R1 Danube cycle path from Passau to Vienna, just outside the provincial capital of Linz. The park-like site extends like an island below the Danube embankment along a natural pond and is ideal for camping. Camping Au has been awarded the Austrian and European Ecolabel. Directly in front of it: the small Danube marina. And particularly romantic: breakfast or dinner in the garden with a view of the boats and the Danube.
9. Königswieser Hof
A new haven has been created in the Mühlviertel: the new boutique hotel Königswieser Hof. The design of the 35 modern rooms and suites is based on nature in terms of colours and materials. Furnished with natural oak parquet flooring, black steel, high-quality box-spring beds and fine, soft bed linen made from Austrian half-linen, they offer spacious comfort and modern cosiness. Tradition meets modernity - this is the philosophy at the Königwieser Hof, and this is also how the restaurant presents itself. Traditional dishes from the Mühlviertel region and sophisticated new creations are served with a constant focus on regionality and seasonality. In the 1,000 square metre wellness area, guests can swim lengths in the year-round heated infinity pool with indoor and outdoor pools, relax in the Finnish or organic panoramic sauna, work out on modern wooden fitness equipment or unwind in the relaxation rooms designed with natural materials such as Mühlviertler Stoabloß, moss and wood.
10. Premium holiday flats "Balthasar Volcano"
The world's first house insulated with larch bark is located in St. Wolfgang am Wolfgangsee. It is the guest house of Max Eisl and Anna Winkler and has the mystical name "Balthasar Volcano". Whether it's the wooden bathtub, mattresses filled with hemp or cloths made from organic cotton, sustainability is a way of life here - almost all the building materials come from within a radius of 50 kilometres. Even the electricity is self-generated: on the green flat roof with photovoltaics.
11. Camp MondSeeLand
Camping with 4-star comfort! Camp MondSeeLand was once again honoured with the camping.info award in January 2021.

In a wonderfully quiet location with a marvellous view of Lake Mondsee and the surrounding mountains.
12. Donau(T)raum
Places to sleep in the Danube region of Upper Austria that are a little out of the ordinary in every respect.

13. Camping Berau am Wolfgangsee
The 4-star campsite is located directly on Lake Wolfgangsee in the middle of a beautiful natural landscape with meadows and shady trees. The site has won several awards and is one of the most beautiful in Europe. Special and comfortable: the glamping dome tent.
