Lake Constance in Vorarlberg, Vorarlberg
Farming types
Our farm enjoys a sunny, peaceful setting with wide views of Lake Constance and the surrounding mountains. In our quiet oasis, you can take in the scenery and listen to the gentle sound of water. If you like, try our barefoot path and enjoy a little time to yourself.
At our farm, you can unwind and get a glimpse of everyday farm life. When the work on the farm allows, you may be able to help feed the animals, sort the eggs or take part in making our apple and pear juice. Sometimes there is also a chance to ride along on the tractor. What’s possible depends on the season and the work that needs to be done.
Our two spacious, modern 5-flower holiday apartments offer plenty of room for a relaxing stay. “Seeblick” is 90 m², while “Bauerngarten” is 110 m². Both apartments have two separate bedrooms.
Our small organic farm is set in a sunny, peaceful location on the Pfänder ridge, surrounded by meadows and woodland. From here, you can enjoy sweeping views of Lake Constance, the Rhine Valley and the mountains of Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Lake Constance is only about 15 minutes away by car.
Our location in the four-country region of Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein offers plenty of opportunities for day trips, walks and cycle rides. Popular destinations include:
The region offers a wide range of activities. The cycle routes around Lake Constance are especially popular. Our farm is also an ideal starting point for the Cheese Hiking Trail and the archery course in Eichenberg, one of the most beautiful in Europe.
Our flower and herb garden and the well-kept surroundings invite you to slow down and relax. Settle into a deckchair with a good book or listen to the water gently trickling in our quiet garden oasis. Meanwhile, the children can ride around on the pedal vehicles or enjoy table tennis, badminton and basketball.
You can also meet our animals up close. Our activity playground offers plenty of space for play and movement. Wi-Fi and equipment for babies and toddlers are available.
As our farm is in a peaceful, secluded location, we recommend arriving by car.
Please note: Our farm is non-smoking. Smoking is not permitted inside the house or anywhere on the farm grounds. Please bear this in mind before booking.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Sometimes there is also a chance to ride along on the tractor. What’s possible depends on the season and the work that needs to be done.
Our small organic farm enjoys a peaceful, secluded setting amid the rolling hills of the Pfänder ridge. From here, panoramic views stretch across Lake Constance and the Rhine Valley to the mountains of Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The view also takes in Eichenberg. Lake Constance is about a 15-minute drive away.
Our two spacious, tastefully furnished 5-flower holiday apartments measure 90 m² and 110 m². From mid-November onwards, things become quieter on the farm. Winter is an ideal time for anyone looking for peace and a chance to switch off.
Eichenberg mountain cheese and farmhouse bacon are well known throughout the region. Visit either of the village’s two dairies. The local restaurants serve fresh regional produce.
A horse-drawn carriage ride through the snow-covered countryside is a lovely way to slow down and enjoy the winter scenery. Or set off on a snowshoe walk straight from the house while the children build snowmen outside.
The neighbouring village of Möggers has a family-friendly ski lift. A cross-country ski trail is about a ten-minute drive away. The ice rinks in Bregenz and Lindau are around 12 kilometres away. Prepared winter walking trails in Eichenberg invite you to enjoy the snowy landscape. When there is snow, you can go sledging right down to the front door.
Not all of our animals are outdoors during the winter, but you can visit the guinea pigs and rabbits in their small-animal house. The surrounding meadows also offer plenty of space for building snowmen and playing.
Wi-Fi and equipment for babies and toddlers are available. As our farm is in a secluded location, we recommend arriving by car.
We look forward to welcoming you!
The Innauer family
Quality, regional origin and respect for animals and nature are at the heart of all our organic products. Our Galloway cattle, organic chickens and organic ducks are raised with care and have access to the outdoors. We are especially proud of our organic heritage-breed chickens: their mobile chicken coop gives them fresh pasture to explore.
Several times a year, we offer organic Galloway beef as well as organic chicken and duck from our own farm. You’ll find fresh eggs and seasonal farm products in our self-service fridge. We also keep frozen organic beef, chicken and duck in stock. For the latest availability, visit www.naturhof-innauer.at.
For an easy lunch or dinner, you can pre-order an organic grilled chicken from us. We cook it on the grill and bring it to you ready to eat. You can prepare the side dishes yourself. If you prefer to barbecue, you’re welcome to use our outdoor barbecue area.
In autumn, feel free to pick apples, pears and damsons from our orchard trees. While stocks last, you can also enjoy our homemade apple and pear juice.
There is plenty to discover nearby, too. At the Bergsennerei Lutzenreute, a local dairy, milk from neighbouring farms is made into Vorarlberg mountain cheese and butter. The Fesslerhof butcher’s shop offers high-quality regional meat and charcuterie.
If you’d rather not cook, the Restaurant Schönblick and Gasthof Paradies in Eichenberg serve regional specialities.
You’ll find grocery shops in nearby Lochau in Austria or Scheidegg in Germany.
Animals are simply part of life on our farm. Our farm family includes Galloway cattle, organic chickens, organic ducks, rabbits, cats and guinea pigs. Each animal has its place and receives the care it needs. Our Galloways have access to the outdoors all year round. The organic heritage-breed hens use a mobile chicken coop, giving them regular access to fresh pasture. Our ducks can bathe and splash around.
From April until mid-November, all our animals are outdoors. Some of the rabbits roam freely around the farm. You can take time to get to know the animals, watch them and, depending on the animal, play with them. Children enjoy setting up little obstacle courses for the guinea pigs. During the winter months, the guinea pigs and rabbits stay in the Hasenhaus, where you can visit them.
In 2018, our caring and species-appropriate animal husbandry was recognised with the Vorarlberger Tierschutzpreis (Vorarlberg Animal Welfare Award).
Sustainability is part of everyday life for us. We have managed our farm organically for more than 30 years. Respect for animals and nature shapes our work, as does the careful use of energy and resources.
We manage our meadows extensively and mow them only twice a year. Traditionally, the grass dries in the sun rather than being mechanically dried. This produces high-quality mountain meadow hay while helping to preserve valuable habitats for plants and insects.
Whenever possible, Caprice makes soaps, laundry detergent and cleaning products herself. We choose ingredients that are as environmentally friendly as possible. Reusable glass containers help us reduce packaging waste.
We also try to use resources carefully in our daily routines. When the weather allows, our guests’ laundry dries outside in the fresh air. We sort our waste and try to use energy and materials thoughtfully.
Our photovoltaic system generates electricity, and our solar thermal system provides hot water. We heat our home with wood from our own forest. Our farm is certified organic and follows the standards of organic farming.
If you’d like to know more about how we work on the farm, feel free to ask us. For us, sustainability is reflected in many everyday choices.
BIO AUSTRIA stands for controlled organic farming in Austria and guarantees the highest standards for the environment, animal welfare and food quality.
