You can spend a most enjoyable day sailing between the villages, stopping off at each one to go exploring.

The region has a rich culture, with festivals throughout the year. There is always something to visit, to see, or to do, whatever the season: alpine meadows to walk through in spring; warm lakes in which to swim in summer; golden vistas in autumn.

Ski touring is one of the fastest growing winter sports. Ski touring (sometimes called ski de randonnée, ski mountaineering, and AT [alpine touring] or variants) uses special ski equipment that enables the user to climb then descend slopes without the aid of ski lifts. Sounds mad? Maybe but fans of the sport love to get away from the crowds and ski free. The Katrinalm in Bad Ischl 10 minutes by bus from the is a designated ski touring centre.
Katrinalm is 5 minutes drive from Haus Strutzenberger.

Damon!

Hello,

We fell in love with Austria on our first visit in 1985 and returned many times to enjoy relaxing holidays. In 2006 we were able to fulfil our dream to live here. Along with Haus Strutzenberger we also run Bad Ischl Central   an apartment in the centre of Bad Ischl, and Bad Ischl Riverside 1 & 2  which are all designed for those looking for an extended stay for work or study.

Our guests come from across the world. Some are visiting Austria for the first time. Many are regular visitors to this part of the world. They all find Bad Ischl and the Salzkammergut is a special  part of the world. A wonderful mix of stunningly beautiful lakes, mountain scenery and time honoured local traditions.

Having worked long hours at our jobs in the UK, we really appreciate how important holidays are. So we work hard to ensure that our visitors have a most enjoyable time. We can give you lots of information about things to do in the area and help you get the most from your stay.

We look forward to welcoming you to our home.

Linda, Trevor and Damon (our dog!)
