  Description

  Hello, we are a retired couple, who enjoy traveling in our motorhome. Our young dog travel with us, but our old cat prefers to stay in her familiar enviroment.
  We live in Carinthia in a lovely house on a hillside, at an altitude of 555 meters. The house has two floors, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a balcony, and a garden with a beautiful view of a castle. We have no TV but a very good piano, if you want to play.
  In our small village,there is a farm shop and a small grocery store. Our house is the last one on the street, situated right by the forest, and from here you can starting for hikes.
  The nearest small town is 7 km away and offers everything you might need for daily life; there is also a small farmers market in its pedestrian zone twice a week. Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is 20 km away, and Graz , a very lovely town too, can be reached by train in just over an hour. In addition to numerous hiking areas, several ski resorts are easily accessible for a day trip.
  
  Our cat Käthe is 14 years old, very sweet, and affectionate. She sleeps a great deal and rarely goes outside anymore. In the evenings, she enjoys beeing petted while on the sofa. Käthe loves being petted and always appreciates conversation and company, though she is also perfectly content to be left alone for many hours at in time.
