Another bus group has come and gone! And despite really very disappointing weather (apart from one day when proper Carinthian summer weather finally showed its face for them) they were a jolly lot who enjoyed everything and were very appreciative to us and the staff. A couple even said they were going straight back to [...]

Our children have gone and our friends from Hungary have gone and the storms are back to reflect the mood! Its strange how you can become really good friends with people so quickly in this holiday atmosphere. The children were particularly touching, so many of them saying how they didn’t want to go home. It [...]

But not ours! Still had to share with you some photos taken in the local area recently and posted to the web. Such clever stuff – all 360 Panoramas. Thanks to soisses.at for identifying the link. http://www.panotopia.org/?m=200906 Had some great guests this week – 2 friends from the UK, a Dutch/Belgian couple who came to [...]

One of our bikers had a birthday! Seemed a good excuse so we made a bit of a fuss and he seemed quite touched. We started out by having a free beer ready (and a rose in a glass) when they got back from their ride around 3 countries, but it turned out he didn’t [...]

Excellent barbie evening last night – 4 more bikers saw us and joined in and the weather stayed warm enough for the party to carry on outside until quite late. Except for the whisky tasters that is, who came inside to deal with the very serious issue of getting through a whistle stop tour of [...]

Once again Malta has come up with a religious festival that is steeped in tradition and history in which the Gasthof Hochalmspitze has to play its long-established part (despite the clear atheist convictions of its current management!) Here they call it Fronleichnam, in Holland it is apparently Sacrementdag and in the UK, I am reliably [...]

Sziasztok ismeretlen magyar motorosok! Ez a szälläs lenyegesen többnek bizonyult szämunkra, mint egy hely, ahol eszünk es alszunk. A häziak ugy tudtak kedvesek lenni, hogy közben egyältalän nem voltak tolakodoak, egyszerüen “csak” figyelmesek. A häzigazda kisebb technikai segitseget is adott nekünk, nem volt nehez, mert 30 evig szerelökent dolgozott.A szoba “k.” hideg volt , de [...]

Who says direct marketing is not effective? We have been delighted this week with the outcome of our targeted marketing aimed at attracting more bikers to our place. Meet our two new friends (above) Lazslo and Czilla from Budapest who have been with us since Monday – such lovely people with whom we really hope [...]

                                       Wednesday June 3rd – John, Ros and Andrea, as guests of the Tourismus Verbund – the tourist arm of the hydro-electric power generation company that owns the dams and power stations locally – visit the Reißeck Mountain [...]

As May turns into June, we know our days of getting out and about are numbered now. So we had one last long trip to Slovenia yesterday, following our ’3 countries’ tour route and sorting out the bugs. The route took us through the Triglavski National park – a place of breathtaking beauty – and [...]
