Gasthof Pension Apartments “Zur Gams” *** S – Irdning-Donnersbachtal

Gasthof Pension Apartments "Zur Gams"

An unforgettable fishing vacation in the Dachstein vacation region.

The traditional inn in Donnersbachwald has specialized in the wishes and preferences of fishermen. Roland, the landlord, is himself a passionate fisherman and knows what his guests enjoy. For fishing vacations there are 3 waters in total: 15 km of flowing fishing waters and 3 ponds with a total of 12 ha. Right next to the accommodation there are in-house fishing ponds, where budding fishermen can try their first fishing attempts. Fly fishing can be learned or perfected during professionally supervised fishing courses. After a great and successful day on the water, there is the opportunity to share your own experiences and adventures with like-minded people in the evening at the fishermen’s regulars’ table.

With the Ennstal fishing voucher, passionate fly fishers and anglers have three reasons to be happy, because they can also use the fishing waters of the neighboring hotels …

Comfortable and cozy

The bright and cozy double rooms and family rooms as well as the spacious family suites promise a peaceful stay (with breakfast buffet / half board). Thanks to the comfortable beds, nothing stands in the way of a good night’s sleep. Self-catering apartments with exclusive all-wood furnishings offer the ideal conditions for an undisturbed vacation with the family. In order not to have to cook yourself, the rich half board can also be booked here at any time.

Styrian delicacies

Guests of the Gasthof Pension Appartements “Zur Gams” are spoiled culinary with hearty homemade products and Styrian specialties. Host Roland recommends especially the game specialties from the own hunting ground or the freshly prepared (and on request self-caught) trout. All the sausage, ham and bacon specialties from the house butchery should also be tasted. The excellent cuisine also includes an original vaulted wine cellar with top class Austrian wines.

Pure nature in the surroundings

For a great change of pace from fly fishing, there are numerous hiking opportunities and excursion destinations in the Schladming-Dachstein vacation region – a true paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Whether mountain biking, guided alpine hikes, paragliding or rafting – here the whole family can enjoy the vacation. A recreational facility with a swimming lake and beach volleyball courts, tennis courts, and horse-drawn carriage rides complete the extensive on-site recreational offerings. In the idyllic garden, an asphalt stick track with rental sticks is available for guests in the evening!

“Every fisherman and fisherwoman is introduced to the waters by me personally, I take him or her to the most beautiful spots and show where the fishing is good.
This allows me to quickly build a good relationship with my (fishing) vacation guests.”
