    Description

    Hi! We are three siblings and are renovating the house of our parents, which is located in the beautiful Austrian Alps in Eastern Tyrol. In the summer we offer lunch to hikers in a cabin in the mountains. I, Gabi, work in a different city as a nurse. My sisters Brigitta and Monika are both retired. We spend a lot of our time in Hopfgarten to make new apartments inside of the old house and to help our brother, who runs a farm which also belongs to the house. For us it is important to use the resources that are already here, and thus treat nature with respect. We are open for an exchange with people from foreign countries and are looking forward to getting to know different cultures.
