The picturesque village of Pürgg, directly opposite IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn, is known for its idyllic location high above the Enns Valley and its historic buildings.

Bad Ischl
The imperial town of Bad Ischl is an hour’s drive away. There you have the opportunity to stroll from boutique to boutique between the magnificent buildings in the city center and enjoy one of the famous pastries from the former K. & K. court bakery Zauner. In addition, the Imperial Villa and the associated park are open to visitors.
Dachstein mountain station – an energy crystal
The mountain station on the Dachstein shines in new splendor: The Dachstein mountain station has been rebuilt and transformed into an “energy crystal”. Thanks to a photovoltaic system on three sides of the façade, up to 80 percent of the energy required for the mountain station is to be generated in-house. The new highlights include the restaurant with a 280-degree view plus bar and the new viewing attraction, the “Dachstein Sky Ladder”.

Fort Strechau
The second largest castle in Styria sits enthroned on a rock above the town of Rottenmann. The castle complex is famous, among other things, because Archduke Johann and Anna Plochl secretly wanted to celebrate their wedding there. The plan was initially thwarted by the emperor.
