Water - A Source of Energy
Water. You don’t even have to swim in it. It’s already enough to be close to water to feel happy. No matter in which form we get in contact with this wet element, it’s an instant source of strength and energy. A transparent, crystal-clear mountain stream or the shimmering turquoise waters of a glacial lake reflecting the clouds. A river bubbling with energy or the deeply calming effect of a pond in the forest. When we’re looking at the sun glitter and the bright, sparkling light on the water surface, when we’re listening to the sound of waves hitting the shore, when we dip our fingers or toes in the cold water - everything’s alright.
Streams, Rivers & Lakes
Every year, the Danube in Upper Austria and Lower Austria attracts a great number of cyclists who take a leisurely ride along its river banks lined with vineyards. By the way, Austria even honours its largest river in the national anthem. Hikers rejoice at the sight of impressive waterfalls and shimmering mountain lakes. Sports enthusiasts can’t get enough of the water.
Not to mention the splashy fun for kids! It’s part of summer just like the sun and a place in the shade. The good thing is: Austria boasts an abundance of water - in all its variety. There’s an offer to suit every taste.
Highest Water Quality
Did you know that the majority of lakes in Austria are of drinking water quality? This is a special extra that comes for free on your farm holiday in Austria.
Have you ever taken a sip directly from a mountain spring? There’s no better refreshment during a hike in the mountains. In Austria, you can always refill your bottle with tap water, there’s nothing to worry about. This way, you don’t need to buy new water bottles in the supermarket.
The little ones might swallow a lot of water when they take their first swim in the lake and splash about in the water. But that’s not a big deal. You can be sure that the water bodies in Austria are very clean. It’s good to feel safe!
Splashy Fun for Everyone
Splish-splash! The kids have just started an epic water fight. But you don’t get distracted. You continue swimming your laps in peace and quiet. There’s enough space for everyone in the lake. Speaking of which: Have you ever thought of taking swimming lessons to improve your swimming technique, movements and pace? Get some advice from one of the certified instructors at the public beach!
Would you rather like to strap water skis to your feet and be towed at speed across the water, riding the choppy waves of the boat’s wake? Do you prefer snorkelling for hours, observing the fish, or floating on an air mattress, daydreaming and enjoying the silence? Whatever you prefer: on your farm holiday in Austria, fun in the water is always close-by.
It’s extraordinary! Farms with a private pool, a natural swimming pond or exclusive access to the lake - stunning views included. Unrivalled moments of joy that you can’t find anywhere else but here.
