Description
Hello Workawayers!
We are a Lotte and Erich, a retired couple living in the picturesque countryside of Salzburg, surrounded by stunning mountains, lush meadows, and the idyllic charm of the Austrian landscape. Our home is located just outside the city of Salzburg in the village Faistenau, offering the perfect blend of peaceful rural life and easy access to the vibrant cultural scene of the city. Faistenau can be easily reached by public transport.
We are passionate travelers with a deep love for exploring new cultures and meeting people from around the world. In the evenings, we enjoy unwinding with a good glas of red wine, reflecting on life and sharing stories from our adventures.

We are situated in a region, famous for its crystal-clear lakes, picturesque villages, and breathtaking scenery.

In return for your help, we offer comfortable accommodation in a cosy room with a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape. You'll also enjoy delicious home-cooked meals (Lotte really is a great chef), and of course, plenty of opportunities to relax, explore, and experience the beauty of Salzburg and the surrounding areas. As we love hiking and swimming, we can give you a lot of tips for the best places to explore around.
You will have your own room in the upper floor of our house. The main bathroom in the upper floor is shared but there is also a separate bathroom in the ground floor available if you prefer that.
