Vacation on the Sunny Side
The Schneiderweg vacation farm is situated on a sunny south-facing slope in the municipality of Laussa, southeast of Steyr. Nestled in a picturesque landscape of meadows and rolling hills, the farm offers a magnificent view.
Experience nature at its finest—hiking, biking, swimming, climbing, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet. The Kalkalpen National Park is right on our doorstep. The nearby city of Steyr offers plenty of variety with numerous cultural and culinary highlights.
Those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation can take advantage of our massage services or leave the stresses of daily life behind in our small but exquisite wellness area. A wormhole sauna, infrared cabin, and steam bath are available here.
Our farm offers the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. We look forward to your visit!

Vacation on the Sunny Side
In winter, the Schneiderweg Farm is a truly special place to relax and unwind.
Very often in winter, when the weather is foggy and gray, the farm sits above the fog in the sunshine. The sunrises over the sea of fog are a particularly beautiful experience.
Extended hikes through the winter landscape here on the Sonnberg, even with snowshoes, are highly recommended. In case of bad weather, our two indoor recreation rooms offer entertainment—with table tennis, billiards, foosball, and a climbing wall.
During the cold season, warmth is especially welcome. Enjoy peace and relaxation in our small but exquisite wellness area with a wormhole sauna, infrared cabin, and steam bath, or treat yourself to a massage.

The Schneiderweg vacation farm is run as a part-time suckler cow operation. The meat is processed on-site and sold directly to customers.
Our guests are welcome to enjoy our homemade apple juice and cider, as well as eggs from our chickens.
Our outdoor area, featuring a garden shed, barbecue area, and fire pit, is available for use at any time.
Shopping, restaurants, and a café can be found in the center of Laussa, about 3 km from the farm.
Our cats enjoy every stroke and love being pampered by our guests. The two alpacas "Willi" and "Gonzales" graze peacefully in their pasture. Our goats "Maja" and "Maxi" are also always happy to have visitors. In the barn, you can experience how mother cows lovingly care for their calves - a special insight into life on our farm. Our chickens lay fresh eggs daily for the breakfast table.
You are very welcome to help feed the animals and experience farm life up close!
Sustainability on Our Farm
For us, sustainability means farming in harmony with nature, animals, and resources—so that future generations can also experience a vibrant cultural landscape. Many natural cycles function directly on our farm.
Farming in a Natural Cycle
Our meadows provide feed for our cows and goats. This keeps essential nutrients within the farm’s natural cycle. We completely avoid synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Additional measures to support soil fertility and biodiversity include:
Sustainably Built and Naturally Furnished
A large part of our farmhouse is thermally insulated and helps save heating energy. For construction and furnishing, we mainly use wood from our own forest and solid wood furniture.
Also important to us:
Energy from Sun, Wind, and Community
Our photovoltaic system has been producing electricity since 1994 and has been continuously expanded. Together with electricity storage and solar thermal energy, the farm is almost energy self-sufficient throughout the year.
In addition, we actively contribute to regional energy supply:
This way, a large part of our energy is generated exactly where it is needed—regionally and from renewable sources.
