Description

Hollenthon is one of the most beautiful communities in the Bucklige Welt and one of the sunniest communities in Austria. A beautiful baroque church is well worth a visit.

The Gasthaus Posch and the restaurant "dahoam" in the village as well as the inn "Zum Stickelberg" in Stickelberg provide for the physical well-being of our guests.

If there is enough snow, you can go tobogganing or bobsleighing with children on the Wetterkreuz-Riegel towards the village.

Enjoying the peace and quiet in the wintry nature of the Bucklige Welt and recharging your batteries, away from the hustle and bustle of urban centers, is both enjoyable and healthy.

Editor’s tip Weather information before arrival at www.hollenthon.at = WEATHER CAM (with current photos) + WEATHER FORECAST (4 days)The fortified church Hollenthon is considered an example of transforming fortified churches into buildings used solely for religious purposes during the Baroque period. The conversion completely changed the church complex, which was formerly equipped with a defensive upper floor. Small remains of the defensive wall are still preserved. Its location within the town hints at its former significance.
