Description
We are Viennese entrepreneurs with cinemas and bars in Vienna and Lower Austria. Workawayers are very welcome at our new location in Reichenau an der Rax. The idea of bringing and expanding our gastronomic and cultural experience in a special place and also to find an alternative to the stress of the big city led us here.
Our location is idyllically situated in the middle of a park with a tennis court and a small pond where we offer rowing boats. In addition to the gastronomic offer, we also organize cultural events.
Reichenau an der Rax lies at the foot of Schneeberg (2,200m) and Rax (2,000m) and with its proximity to Vienna (60 minutes by train) is the ideal starting and finishing point for hiking and cycling tours.Types of help and learning opportunities
