Running

We may not have a fitness studio but what we do have our wonderful running trails right in front of the hotel doors!

From reception you can request a print-out of accurately described running trails, given in kilometres and sorted by level of difficulty.

We love: the running track on Kapuzinerberg hill passing the Kapuziner convent and monastery, through the wonderful mixed forest through to the Franziskischlössel castle. If you are lucky, you might just meet a Kapuzinerberg chamois in the early hours!
