Bicycles for our Summer Guests

Those who vacation in the mountains seek freedom. Freedom to spontaneously set off, for example, to buy regional products. Freedom to think without a car. Freedom to fill a sunny afternoon with a short bike tour to Lake Stappitz. At Apartments Hohenberger in Mallnitz, this is possible – without surcharge, without effort, without a guilty conscience.

Spontaneously mobile in the mountains - bicycles included

Whether for a trip to the town center, the quick way to the train station or a leisurely ride towards the Seebachtal – the bikes are ready. And because we know how important this kind of spontaneous everyday mobility is on vacation, these are not just any bikes: We trust our partner fitstore24.com who ensures that the mountain bikes are functional, well-maintained, and roadworthy.

Tranquility, Space, Retreat – why a Vacation Apartment is Sometimes just Right

There are places where everyday life doesn’t disappear – but quietly steps aside.
Mallnitz, the ÖAV mountaineering village in the National Park Hohe Tauern in Carinthia, is such a place. Those who arrive by train switch to a different pace. And those who choose a vacation apartment there don’t decide against comfort – but for a gentle retreat into their own space.

What is often technically listed as a “self-catering apartment” is in truth a space for rituals: your own tea in the morning, a window seat with a view of the Tauern Valley, breakfast in pajamas, cooking with regional ingredients, without any time pressure.

The Luxury of Your Own Time

In the vacation apartment, no one asks if you need anything else. And sometimes that’s more soothing than any room service. The dining table isn’t decorated, but ready. The kitchen doesn’t expect stars, but ingredients with origin. And those who choose this often carry the desire not to play the role of a guest while traveling, but to take a place – for their vacation, for themselves.

For Those Who Prefer to Arrive Rather Than Just Travel

Apartments Hohenberger in Mallnitz follow this idea with quiet consistency. Not mountain chalets with open fireplaces and Instagram decor, but Alpine Home Apartments with clear lines, wooden floors, a tranquility that isn’t staged, but grown. The house is a family-run business with history, neither intrusive nor preachy. Those who want can get tips for hikes, excursions, farm shops. Those who prefer silence can simply be there.

The fact that you arrive here by train – directly from Vienna through the Tauern tunnel – isn’t about sacrifice, but experience. The arrival has weight. The transition is fluid. And when the sun wakes up the Tauern Valley in the morning, the window doesn’t open to a view, but to a feeling.

Time That Isn't Timed

A vacation apartment also means: not being served, but shaping. For many, this isn’t a step backward – but part of a self-determined, mindful way of traveling and vacationing. Not because it’s cheaper, but because it’s more authentic.

Those who come to the mountaineering village of Mallnitz aren’t looking for animation. They’re looking for forest paths, granite, fresh air, and time to hike. And sometimes all it takes is an apartment with a wide view and a decent bread knife.

Trail Maintenance by the Alpine Club Mallnitz

On Sunday, May 18, 2025, Günther Schwärzler, the trail warden of the Alpine Club Mallnitz, was active on hiking trail 139 to the peak of Lonzaköpfl with Marielle of AlpineKraft, who also created the Instagram video, and Florian of Apartments Hohenberger.

Sawing, sweeping, digging channels – a small contribution to the trail infrastructure – in and around the mountaineering village Mallnitz there are more than 150 km of hiking trails for all skill levels.

The video immediately shows how much team spirit and enthusiasm is involved in trail work – and how motivating it is to have accomplished something together.

We covered about 1,000 meters in altitude up to just below the Lonzaköpfl and were busy all of Sunday. We were additionally rewarded with good weather and great views.

The high valley of Mallnitz, open to the south, is surrounded by 7 three-thousand-meter peaks and over 20 summits just under the three-thousand-meter mark. Very early on, hikers and mountaineers from Alpine Club sections of predominantly from northern Germany were drawn to the beautiful mountain world around Mallnitz – follow in their footsteps.

Apartments Hohenberger offers hikers and mountaineers a quiet, well-equipped base in the village of Mallnitz in the Hohe Tauern National Park with their studios and apartments.
