Hiking between lake & Nockberge mountains
Your hiking vacation at the Hotel zur Post will be really special. Several times a week, our trained mountain and hiking guides will take you out into the great outdoors – and once you’ll even be accompanied by the boss herself. To make sure you are well equipped, you can borrow a rucksack, hiking poles and even a GoPro free of charge from us.
Your adventure starts right on the doorstep: with your own hiking starting point, free hiking maps and lots of personal tips. After your tour, you can browse through our small hiking library or get your shoes ready for the next day in the drying room. And if your muscles get tired, we also offer soothing massages.
We’ve also got you covered: fresh, regional dishes await you in our restaurant. For a romantic getaway, spend the night in a bivouac by the lake and take the Almexpress to reach the higher starting points in comfort. As a little extra, we also show you an impressive 3D film about the Nockberge National Park in the Sagamundo.
