Tobias nimmt uns mit auf seine Workation in der Südsteiermark – gemeinsam mit seiner Tochter Emma entdeckt er naturnahe Höfe, freundliche Gastgeber:innen und neue Perspektiven zwischen Laptop, Ziegen und Lagerfeuerromantik.

In March 2020, three adventurous young people from Graz fulfilled a dream and launched their travel platform "Schau aufs Land". And how could it be otherwise - the Greimlhof also became part of it. You can read here how the farm fared with the guests in summer 2021.

Once again, we have chosen a special farm from the Schau aufs Land range.
The organically certified Madlenserhof is located in Dafins, a district of Zwischenwasser, above Rankweil in Vorarlberg.

The organic farm is basically a mother cow farm, but when we arrive they spend their holiday of several months on the alp. As befits a farm dog, there are also rabbits, geese and common laying hens.

Fritz Zehentmayr stands in the cosy parlour of his farm and holds a small glass of amber liquid up to the light: "Do you see the streaks on the glass? That's how you recognise it!" We also swirl our glasses, the oily film is clearly visible. We have recently come to know: These are essential oils, a sign of quality. "You can distinguish noble brandy from simple schnapps by these streaks!

For our first SAL check-in, we chose a very special farm: The Seebacherhof in Bad Mitterndorf in the Styrian Salzkammergut is an organically controlled Demeter farm. Here, machines and tractors are not used at all, harvesting is mostly done by hand, ploughing is done by the farm's own Noriker horses.
