A villa with a legendary sun terrace directly at the foot of the Rax. In front of it is the wide, flat land, behind it the mountains, all around forests and meadows, rocks, streams and clear, still air. Just 90 minutes from Vienna and Graz, the Knappenhof is set in the impressive landscape of the climatic health resort of Reichenau an der Rax. There is no light pollution here and people meet to breathe in the forest air. The best place to do this is on the sun terrace. Or in the forest that surrounds the Knappenhof.
Open the door and go! Directly behind the Knappenhof begins the Törlweg, one of the most popular ascents on the Rax to the Ottohaus. The Höllental valley with its spectacular paths, climbing routes for beginners such as the Gustav Jahn Steig, or high alpine, spectacular climbing routes for advanced climbers such as the Hans von Haid Steig are just a few minutes away by car. And for those who want to take it a little easier, the sunbathing lawn with a new outdoor pool or the small wellness area with sauna and steam bath invite you to let the day pass by in complete relaxation.
In terms of cuisine, head chef Tomaž Fink and his team take guests on a journey from the past to the present, through forest and meadow. The focus on regional specialties and local herbs runs like a culinary thread through the kitchen line - in the gourmet menu and the inn menu.
The restaurant, 28 guest rooms, 2 seminar rooms and a small chapel offer the perfect setting for celebrations and events of all kinds - with personal service, regional dishes and a lovely ambience surrounded by forest and meadow. Weddings can also be held at the Knappenhof. For up to 80 people, it is best to book the whole house!
