Home description
The Bear's Den is a large barn attached to an elegant 400 year old farmhouse built in traditional Carinthian style. The interiors are luxurious with huge sumptuous sofas. This is a magical winter wonderland during ski season (10 mins drive to International resort Nassfeld) or the perfect outdoor sporting playground in summer. We enjoy proper sunny summers (25-28 degrees) with Italian climate (just 4 km to border!), and frosty white Winters with temperatures rarely above freezing - but it's lovely and cosy inside the Bear's Den!
The property boasts a beautiful garden with landscaped natural swimming pool with outstanding views of the mountains. Accommodation is fully catered if required or just breakfast and occasional meals supplied.

Traditional Austrian farming community where fields are still ploughed by horses, where wild flowers still grow in the meadows, where church and cow bells still ring louder than the traffic! Lots of village festivals and cultural events throughout the year. Drop into the tiny tourist office in Kirchbach (mornings only) for info and bookings. In Kirchbach, you will also find a post-office, excellent supermarket for all your needs, a cafe, a hairdressers and a pizzeria with great outdoor public swimming pool.
