Experience holidays in tune with the cycles of nature at one of Carinthia’s “Naturkreis” farms. Farmers are often miles ahead of townspeople when it comes to knowledge about natural processes and life in harmony with nature. Nature is seen as a harmonious entity that automatically sets the rhythm for everyday life. The 9 Carinthian farmers in and around the Nockberge national park are dedicated to holistic thinking and to farming conducted in a manner which is compatible with nature’s valuable resources – an approach that can be experienced at the “Naturkreis” farms. And here the circle closes. Regain strength from nature’s resources and (re) turn to your inner self in peace. We offer you the perfect surroundings to chill out and tank up on nature’s energy. Enjoy the comfortable ambience at our farms including cosy rooms furnished with natural materials, exquisite organic cuisine, sauna & well-being facilities as well as a number of sporting offers. You’ll be amazed about the lively way centuries-old tradition can be celebrated at modern “Naturkreis” farms: we bake our own bread, turn hay manually and bring cattle to their fields or alpine pastures ... We work with materials nature provides, enabling us to serve you healthy, light natural food from controlled and organically grown products – just the perfect way to (re)gain good shape. When you take a look inside our stables or discover the surroundings during a walk or a ride through the pastures you’ll get an idea of what sound farming is all about. The unique Nockberge Mountains are homeland to a wide variety of special herbs – we will let you know where we find them and how we work them into exclusive natural beauty products. Cuddling winter time at the farm Experience picture-book winter days. Can you hear wood crackling in the fire-place? The bells of the horse-drawn carriage as it slowly approaches to take you on a romantic sleigh ride? The crunching snow beneath your snow-shoes during picturesque winter walks? Do you smell the fresh branches of the fir trees, the scent of oranges and gingerbread? Or the mulled wine that makes you so wonderfully sleepy and ready for your cuddly feather-bed? Our "Naturkreis" farms are situated amidst the scenic winter landscape of Carinthia’s Nockberge Mountains. Bad Kleinkircheim, the vibrant international ski resort, is only a few kilometres away. Its slogan “from the slope to the spa” has become the trademark of this beautiful mountain town which is a true “hot spot”. Bad Kleinkirchheim is the home of the Thermal Römerbad (Roman bath) and the quieter spa Sankt Kathrein with especially favourable curative water. A few "Nocks" further the ski resort Turracher Höhe offers splendid conditions for skiers and winter walkers alike and at the popular family resort Hochrindl you may have the slopes all to yourself. Doesn’t that sound idyllic?
