Your spring, summer or fall vacation at our family hotel in Upper Austria

Have a great time hiking, horse riding, swimming, golfing and with all around outdoor fun

The birds are chirping happily to the sounds of the rushing mountain stream. You take a deep breath and smell the freshly mown gras and, feel the warming sunbeams on your skin. Childrens’ laughter and the rhythmic clanking of horse hooves get to your ears. It is your perfect vacation with your family at Gut Enghagen in the Upper Austrian Pyhrn-Priel area.

Solar heated outdoor pool with authentic spring water

Whether you prefer your morning dive or a cooling dip in the evening: in our pool, you can swim from May to September in very pure and – if necessary – heated spring water! For our youngest guests, there is a separate children’s pool. After splashing around, feel free to relax and sunbath on one of our numerous sun loungers or with a towel on our well-kept lawn.

Horse riding

“When you are on a great horse, you have the best seat you will ever have”, said Winston Churchill once. This applies to our four-hoofed friends at Gut Enghagen as well! In our stable, we will find the proper companion for you whether you are a beginner wanting to learn to ride, an advanced wanting to explore the surroundings or take hikes or someone wanting to take pedagogical riding.

Hiking

There are hardly any hiking tracks more diverse than here: From leisurely promenading and challenging hiking trails to demanding via ferrata. In the Pyhrn-Priel region and the mountains of Hinterstoder, numerous marked hiking trails lead you up to an altitude of 2,500 m. Enjoy authentic alpine and regional specialities at a plentitude of managed refuges and alpine huts in and all around the Kalkalpen National Park in an unique atmosphere. We will gladly advise you on the hiking trails suited best for you and your ability or feel free to browse through our extensive hiking library! Besides, we’re happy to provide you with hiking poles, child carriers and binoculars free of charge.
