JUFA Hotel Pöllau***

Family holiday in the Pöllauer Tal Nature Park

Highlights

  • Alpacas from the Ganster family in the hotel garden
  • Guided alpaca hikes available upon request
  • Pöllau Water Park
  • Herberstein Zoo
  • Pöllau Castle
  • Pöllauberg Pilgrimage Church

Who else has fluffy alpacas as neighbours, is situated in the “Garden of Austria”, and also scores points with fantastic children’s play areas, both indoors and out? Our rural experience village in the heart of the beautiful Pöllauer Tal Nature Park, Thermenland & Styria region, can claim all of this for itself!

While the kids play and romp around, the hotel’s own sauna offers tired parents some time for themselves. Our Grander water also noticeably revitalises body and mind. Everyone is welcome to meet our cuddly alpacas! We do ask that you make an appointment in advance.

Create holiday memories alongside these and other good-natured animals, forge animal friendships, or enjoy our regional cuisine around a real campfire — a perfect end to the day under the stars! An absolute highlight is the included GenussCard, which grants free entry or discounts at over 200 excursion destinations.
