Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will experience a unique bridge between two worlds: the traditional, rustic life in the Austrian Alps and the warm, welcoming hospitality of Middle Eastern culture. We are a multicultural family, and our home is a place where different perspectives and stories meet.
Sustainable Living & Gardening: Learn how to maintain a garden in a mountain climate and understand the basics of landscape conservation.
Culinary Exchange: We love to cook! You can learn how to make traditional Austrian dishes or dive into the secrets of Oriental spices and recipes.
But there is more ......We are in a protected water spring area. You can get a look in the natural springs system and how the water is collected here to flow directly to Vienna City. If you’re interested, there are lot of interesting infos about the nature around us and how eg this fresh spring water system ist connected to the big city.
It’s the perfect place to breathe the fresh air, and see where some of the best drinking water in the world comes from!
Beyond the house, you will learn about the local rhythm of life in the Rax/Schneeberg/Semmering area, including hiking tips and discovering hidden spots in the forests.
For us, the exchange is a two-way street. We want to learn from our guests as much as they learn from us, creating memories through shared meals and conversations.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.

You can live with us for some time and sneek into mountain lifestyle and international hospitality. Our place has been around for 150 years, so we’ve seen a lot of history happen right here.
You’re more than welcome to stop by, join the hikes, or just enjoy the mountain air with us. You are heartly invited! Hope to see you there!
We love sharing our cooking skills (EuropeanOrientalMix) and are always happy to practice languages with our guests during our shared meals.
We enjoy having guests who join us in our daily rhythm and help out with our current hobby projects. We really love sharing what we know about our veggies and fruits—we can chat about them for hours and then turn everything into a delicious meal together. Additionally we have 3 bee hieves and love to show you the way of the life of the honey bees - incl. tasting the amazing mountain honey. And if you’re into herbs and nature, we love talking about all the green stuff growing around here and just enjoying it straight from the source.
It’s all about good food, nature, animals and great company. Can’t wait to share it with you!
We spend a lot of time in our veggie and herb garden. Helping with weeding, planting, and maintaining the old fruit trees is a big part of our outdoor life.
The House: Our old house and and all around needs a lot of love. We appreciate a helping hand with cleaning, sorting, organizing in and around the house.
If you like being outdoors with animals you will like the place for sure. While helping in the green around the house our 2 Dachshunds Ladys Cilli and Sasa like always beeing entertained. And believe it or not Max and Moritz, our 2 old goats, they actually love going for walks sometimes, too. It’s a pretty funny sight, for sure.
And while you're out and about on the meadows around us, you can see all kinds of animals like sheep, cows, and horses grazing nearby. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the nature and .....
We look forward to welcoming people who want to become part of our family life for a while!

Additionally we are close to the Höllental valley and the Schwarza River, where you can experience untouched nature, relax, and cool off in the refreshing water during the hot summer months
Additionally this year is extra special because of the celbration of the 100 years of the Raxseilbahn – the very first cable car ever in Austria! It takes you comfortably up to the Rax plateau, where even non-experienced hikers can enjoy stunning walks and alpine scenery. There will be lot of events going on around us on the different mountains. The main celebration is on June 9th, 2026 and it’s going to be a lot of interesting things!
There will be official ceremonies, different live music and a great vibes. They’re doing historical presentations about building the cable car, they offers some special anniversary trips, etc.
It’s not just one day; the celebrations go on for months. There are summer events up on the mountain, guided hikes, and lots of cultural stuff happening in the whole area.

A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
We can welcome digital nomads and offer a great environment: We have fast and reliable Wi-Fi access throughout the main areas of the house. There are several nice places on the host where you can have your privacy for working. We are very flexible and we can adjust the time of shared activities and projects to your working schedule. We believe that a successful cultural exchange works best when there is a good balance between spending time together and having enough space for your own.
Space for parking camper vans
We have a lot of space but you must drive up a steep road. So very large campervans can be problematic.
Can possibly accept pets
Yes, if they get along with children, pets and more

My experience here was great. They cook great food, and always managed to make me laugh even on bad days. They need good workers. I advise anyone who thinks they can just stay here with no work ethic just don't. they need help. I helped out, and they looked out for me. They are very good people with good hearts. dont take them them for granted.
