We hiked the area around Bozen and stayed in lovely country manor hotels which were once Austrian working hill top farms. Berghotel Zirmerhof has an indoor spa with ‘wellness’ and Sepp oozes Gastfreundlichkeit. Gasthof Dreikirchen can only be reached on foot and lies at 2300 meters. Matthias Woodenegg and his family have renovated all rooms and we wanted to buy our room No 26 which has a near 360 degree view over the snow topped mountains. Grandma still cooks in Gasthof Krone in Aldein. She deserves a Michelin star for her South Tyrolean cuisine. Gasthof Kohlern can be reached by the oldest cable car running from Bozen since 1908. More ‘wellness’ revived our tired legs here. There are no TVs in the rooms though each hotel [sadly] has WIFI. The Tyrolean wines are excellent, such as the red Sankt Magdalener. For lazy walkers your luggage is transported to the next place and they provide a picnic. You will not lose any weight on this holiday.
