The new JUFA Hotel Stift Gurk**** offers a fantastic place for nature lovers, families and pilgrims to spend a really special holiday. Alpine meadows stretching as far as the eye can see, densely forested mountainsides and the cheerful babbling sounds of the river Gurk can be enjoyed in the area around the market town of Gurk, which is at the heart of the unspoilt Gurk Valley. It is no surprise that it is such a popular destination for so many pilgrims!
The hotel is located in the historic wing of the chapter house and the priory building that are connected to Gurk Cathedral and provides a truly unique setting for every occasion, whether you are on holiday with all your family, on a choir tour, taking part in a special conference or on a pilgrimage.
The hotel’s location is ideal for discovering the exciting culture and history of the region. The region is well-known for its herbs and you will have plenty of opportunities to discover these botanical delights right at the hotel, where they feature prominently on the agenda every day. For example, you can choose to try out a herbal pillow for a relaxing night’s sleep, or perhaps discover the therapeutic benefits of a herbal infusion at the tea bar.
There are also a range of leisure activities to enjoy, such as the open air swimming pool in Gurk. There are many other sites of interest to explore that are located slightly further afield. For example, you can visit Straßburg, which is surrounded by 16 churches, Lake Kraiger, or maybe explore loftier heights in the Hochrindl mountains, a region that also has plenty to offer fans of winter sports.
Incidentally, you are welcome to bring along your four-legged friend. The hotel facilities and the staff are very dog friendly.
