The main river Gerlos – only 100 meters from the hotel and within walking distance – is home to fish of generous size, which can be observed thanks to the crystal clear water.

The side valleys offer access to the Wimmer, Schönach, Schwarzach and Krumm streams, which offer varied fishing experiences in the middle of breath taking mountain scenery. In these streams, as well as in Lake Finkau and 2.200 meter high located Lake Langersee, fishermen can find a beautiful grayling stock. Fishing with flies, nymphs and streamers without barbs is permitted, while fish removal is not possible. Fly fishermen rave about our fisher “Stammtisch” (regulars’ table) and use our fly tying area full anticipation for the next day.

Area for spin fishing:

For those passionate lake fishers, there are 2 reservoir lakes available – the Gmünder and the Durlassboden reservoir (boat rentals available).

All artificial baits are allowed. You are welcome to freeze your catch with us or have it freshly prepared for you by our kitchen team.
