Location and surroundings of object
The log cabin in a secluded location – south-facing slope – on the edge of the forest is located about 1 km outside of 3665 Bärnkopf – surrounded by a 4000 m² meadow and adjacent spruce forest. The Bärenhütte is the ideal starting point in summer for hiking, fishing, swimming, tennis, mushroom picking, and enjoying pure nature. In a few minutes by car – or 15–20 minutes on foot – you can reach the Schlesinger Pond (swimming – sunbathing lawn, children's paddling pool, fishing, beach volleyball in summer, and a beautiful circular hiking trail with instruction stations for physical exercise).
One of the many cross-country ski trails runs along the edge of our property in winter and connects our log cabin by ski with the town center and an extensive network of trails. Guided snowshoe hikes and horse-drawn sleigh rides are offered. We invite you to a nature/romantic holiday for up to 4 people (possibly 6 people on request). The health resort Bärnkopf is located in the center of Austria’s largest continuous forest area and, at 1000 meters above sea level, is the highest place in the Waldviertel. The hospitable village (350 inhabitants) is nestled in a beautiful landscape of forests and lakes, which is often lovingly called "Little Canada." It is the Eldorado for hikers, fishermen, mushroom pickers, and other nature lovers and seekers of peace in the summer.
In winter, Bärnkopf is known for its extensive network of cross-country ski trails, organized snowshoe hikes, and horse-drawn sleigh rides.
Inns invite you to linger. You will experience tasty home cooking, cozily furnished guest rooms, and a pleasant stay with hospitable people. A grocery store run by the village community offers everyday goods. Furthermore, there are: bicycle and cross-country ski rental. Tennis courts, curling, guided hiking and snowshoe hiking, lumberjack museum, bread baking, doll museum.

Pure relaxation
We had a wonderful weekend in their lovingly furnished bear hut!
The reception was extremely nice, there was Prosecco and a bottle of wine in the fridge, and the fireplace was preheated!
The furnishings were generous and the location beautiful! The perfect place to relax… wonderful nature all around with beautiful hiking trails and a dreamlike lake in the sunshine!
Heartfelt thanks to the Steiner family! ?

Vacation to relax
The Bear Cabin is a beautiful log cabin equipped with everything you need. We felt very comfortable here. The surroundings offer very nice paths for hiking or just walking. Our two four-legged friends also felt very comfortable. It is wonderfully quiet here, and you can recover from the stressful everyday life. The reception was very warm. Communication with the Steiner family was very friendly in all areas, and we felt very well taken care of. We will definitely not be here for the last time and are already looking forward to being guests in the beautiful Bear Lodge again. We thank you for an unforgettable vacation Ralf + Dunja with Hugo and Hope.

To fall in love
We are now here for the second time in the Bear's Cabin and will definitely not be the last. Idyllically located at the edge of the forest with plenty of sunshine, the cabin offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The kitchen is fully equipped, nothing is missing. In the living kitchen, there is a cozy dining area, a comfortable couch with a large screen. Wi-Fi, Netflix, Amazon Prime, everything is there.
The beds are equipped with thick mattresses, one sleeps wonderfully. Heating is done with a large and cozy ceramic stove, there is plenty of wood available. A dream!

There in the beautiful Weinsberg Forest, where we ourselves have spent our holidays for over 30 years, our "BÄRENHÜTTE" has been built at the Sonnenplatzl in Bärnkopf. My family and I, we are private providers of our log cabin. We would be pleased if you also appreciate the homely atmosphere of our little property. Around our "Bärenhütte" you are invited to get to know hospitable people in a rural environment and to discover the diverse flora and fauna of our forest and lake area. Our HOMEPAGE - hidden under "FURTHER INFORMATION" in the lower part of the advertisement - contains detailed information about the Bärenhütte, about Bärnkopf and its surroundings and about hiking, entertainment and excursion possibilities.
