Relaxing at the Knappenhof
Air health resort ReichenauUpon passing Edlach, the road narrows and begins to wind through a large meadow with old fruit trees towards the steep south face of Rax Mountain. It’s not far to the Knappenhof now: only 90 minutes from Vienna and Graz, but a totally different world.
The air is cool and clear, fragrant with the smells of forests, streams and cliffs - which is why the region once served as a health resort in the 19th century. It is enchantingly quiet here. The rustling of the leaves, the occasional birdsong - the plain, with its meadows, forests and rivers, whispers softly, as if in reverence of its mighty neighbour, the mountain.
Listen to this silence while you sunbathe on our south-facing terrace, relax on the meadow, or simply open the window of your room. And if the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can enjoy our exclusive wellness area.
Our pool is finally ready!
We're delighted to announce that our new outdoor pool is now open! The new pool, with its incredible mountain views, is sure to delight. Why not treat yourself to some well-being time at our Knappenhof pool? Whether you just want to cool off and refresh yourself or are one of the more active types, make the most of all the great things our pool has to offer. It's heated, so you can swim laps until October. Spend a relaxing day by the pool and soak up the tranquillity of the surrounding woods. Why not enjoy a cool drink from the honesty bar? The pool is open from 7 am to 8 pm! Please note that dogs are not allowed at the pool.
