DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 22, Picturesque location, Traditional charm, Family-run hotel, Fly fishing, Golf, Hiking, Casino.

• The Hotel Forstinger, founded in 1927 by Maria Forstinger, is a truly Austrian institution, a former "Wirtshaus" or canteen from 1606 with the comfort and service of a 4-star hotel. Schärding is a postcard-pretty little village, looking more like a painted backdrop for an operetta than a "real" town. A fountain graces the central square, which is encircled with gaily painted, narrow buildings whose rooflines step up in a wonderful assortment of shapes and designs to give an effect of gaiety and charm. Every exceptionally pretty spot needs a good hotel and luckily Schärding has the Hotel Forstinger, located half a block from the square.

• The façade is very old and quite simple: it is a boxy white building with brown trim and an arched doorway. Within you are greeted with warmth, both from the elegant and clean decor and from the Forstinger family who own the hotel. The hotel has been completely renovated offering the latest in luxury while preserving the buildings historical details. The spacious guestrooms are all individually decorated and lovely in decor using beautiful antiques from the family's private collection.

• A wide and varied recreational offer in immediate proximity of the hotel, making an ideal environment for family and leisure holidays. There are 40 km of private flyfishing routes at 5 rivers and an 18 hole golf course 10 km from the hotel, as well as hiking, biking and a casino.
