Exploring the mountain with Walter Theiner

Owner and hotel founder Walter Theiner has a great passion: hiking. That’s why he takes every opportunity to accompany his guests on their hikes – as a qualified hiking guide, he not only provides a wealth of knowledge, but he also entertains you with various anecdotes. Once a year, he even organises a multi-day tour with overnight stays in shelters.

theiner’s garten running routes

Being active on holiday is especially enjoyable at theiner’s garten. The organic refuge is not just the perfect starting point for long hikes and bike tours, around theiner’s garten there are also attractive running routes through picturesque landscapes and pretty orchards. You can find our favourites right here.

When it rains …

… the exercise machines in the exercise room are an attractive alternative to a run outside. And with a beautiful view over the apple orchards, you can even get your dose of vitamin green on rainy days.
