Retreat. Retreats and lingering.
The WALDDENKE is located in the Semmering-Rax region, which has inspired many extraordinary thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, Alma Mahler, Theodor Herzl, Arthur Schnitzler, Peter Altenberg, Stefan Zweig, and, not to be forgotten, the Habsburg imperial family. The idea behind the WALDDENKE is as simple as it is ingenious: a house that offers every guest exactly the setting they’re looking for.
A place that invites you to linger, relax, and enjoy creative moments. A concept that doesn’t ask “either/or,” but finds ways to meet every need.
A cozy, quiet spot in the forest with a magnificent view of the Rax and a pond in front of the house, just an hour from Vienna.
Back inside, you can relax on the cushions by the lake while the fire blazes in the open fireplace in the evening. Your soul knows what it needs.
Three suites serve as a retreat and place of relaxation for about 6 guests.
A large living room with a kitchen and workspace offers the ideal space for shared moments of relaxation.
The house is supplied with its own spring water and a solar power system and features an 11 kW charging station for electric vehicles.
