In cooperation with 50+ Hotels Österreich I started to discover Austria in mid June. The visited hotels are mentioned below.

After climbing up and down the hill of Dürnstein Castle I was ready for this relaxing room at Hotel & Winery Pfeffel. The room even offered a view of Dürnstein Castle so I was able to put down these notes while looking at the castle ruins.

The palace, placed next to a lake named Wörthersee, was built at the end of the 16th century by Bartholomäus Khevenhüller. Since 1890, it has mainly been a hotel. In the 1990s, it became famous for being the set of the German TV series ‘Ein Schloss am Wörthersee’, aka ‘Lakeside Hotel’.
