The view was one of the most amazing we’ve ever experienced!
We accidentally took the ”farmers” way up which was absolutely horrifying! ( especially when you are a bit afraid of heights)
And to then take the cable car the last way up was also a knee shaky experience. But Benny guided us the whole way wad was so welcoming. We came after check in time and he waited patiently for us. Even asked if he could make us dinner even if he was to close the restaurant.
The rooms were cozy and authentic with cute windows and wood paneling in the whole room. The beds did leave something more to ask for but I guess the good air quality makes you sleep like a baby anyway!
Peace has a new sound for us now! Cowbells. You could hear them wondering around on the mountain. So peaceful!
The breakfast was good. The coffee was probably the best we had all trip around Europe.
The was a small playground for the children which was so good!
Benny even agreed on driving our car and us down the mountain since we had such bad experience up. ( it was then we realized we took ”the wrong way” up )
Benny was a star really!

Wir hatten nach unserer Wanderung einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Burggeist. Der Gastgeber und sein Team waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Abendessen war lecker. Das alles mit atemberaubender Aussicht auf die Alpen. Die Betten sind etwas kurz, Personen ab 1.90m müssen sich "diagonal" hinlegen, dann funktioniert es trotzdem.
Der Boden knarrt ziemlich, aber mit Ohrstöpseln schläft es sich trotzdem gut und erholsam.
Das Frühstück am nächsten Morgen versorgte uns mit genügend Energie für die bevorstehende Wanderung.
Vielen Dank, wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
