Focus on togetherness

Time together at the family hotel in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Carinthia

At our family hotel in Carinthia, it's not about constant organised entertainment. On the contrary: the motto is Alpine Slowness. It is not all about action here, we'd rather sit around the camp-fire together roasting snacks. Follow the 5-element sensory trail around the house, set off an animal search or experience fresh air adventures in the Nockberge mountains. And while you enjoy the peace and quiet in the Spa Silencium or finish off the evening menu, there's fun to be had in Tom & Tina's children's pavilion. This turns a holiday with children in Carinthia into a wonderful blend of time together and time for everyone enjoy their own things.

“Our children (3 and 6 years old) love it! The childcare concept is also great! And is it important to spend as much time as possible as a family and not to "give away" our children on holiday. So the children can play or do handicrafts in the pavilion if they want to.”

"As a family with a dog, we were looking for a holiday resort with wellness, bathing, hiking and recreation opportunities with an extra adventure factor. We found all that at the Hotel Eschenhof. The Ortner family and the entire team are very friendly, competent and helpful. Our two children (7 and 9 years old) really liked the friendly childcare including ranger training."
