Naturel Dorf SCHÖNLEITN in Detail
Your Wellness Hotel
Located between Lake Aichwald and Lake Faak, Naturel Village SCHÖNLEITN boasts lovingly restored Carinthian farmhouses, some over 400 years old, giving the village an authentic and charming ambiance, just minutes from Lake Faak. Naturel Village SCHÖNLEITN is the perfect destination for an unforgettable holiday in Carinthia at any time of the year.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel is located in Oberaichwald near Lake Faak, one of the most beautiful lakes in Carinthia. The clear, turquoise waters of the lake invite you to swim and sunbathe, and also offer opportunities for boat tours. The area around Oberaichwald is perfect for nature lovers and active holidaymakers. Whether it's splendid hiking, cycling, and climbing in the summer or skiing in the winter - there are suitable and varied recreational activities available all year round. The Kanzianiberg, just a few kilometres from the village of SCHÖNLEITN, offers climbing routes for both beginners and advanced climbers. Additionally, visit traditional farmers' markets, explore historical attractions, or savour the regional cuisine in cosy inns and restaurants. The Naturel Village SCHÖNLEITN is not only an ideal starting point for numerous activities in the rejuvenating nature of Carinthia but also provides relaxation and rejuvenation with its Natural Spa wellness area.
Dining & Leisure
Start your day with a lavish breakfast experience at Dorfwirt SCHÖNLEITN. The breakfast buffet, featuring an organic section, opens its doors at 7:30 a.m. The namesake à la carte restaurant prides itself on using fresh and local products.
In the quaint Vinothek am Dorfplatz, an exclusive atmosphere awaits you. Enjoy individually prepared dishes and drinks. Upon request, learn more about the regional wines and beers (reservation required).
At the on-site Dorfladen, discover a rich selection of products directly from local farmers. Whether it's milk in glass bottles, daily fresh pastries, homemade Glundner cheese and spreads, organic tea, or spirits directly from the fruit farmer.
Creating Slow-Food Awareness for Enjoyment & Locality
A movement that promotes conscious enjoyment and appreciation of regional and seasonal foods is of great importance in an era where the fast-food industry often prevails, and the connection to traditional cuisine and local agriculture is lost. Therefore, once a week, baker Krista comes to show guests how bread is baked. Additionally, a wide range of suppliers is available, from Nockfleisch and white country corn from Gailtal to meadow eggs from Landskron and fish from Feld am See.
Wellness & Spa
Immerse yourself in a world of relaxation and rejuvenation amidst the soothing nature of Carinthia. The Naturel SPA (8 a.m. - 10 p.m.) features both an indoor pool and a spacious heated outdoor pool. For those seeking the warmth and relaxation of a sauna, a Finnish sauna, an infrared cabin, a low-temperature sauna (Vitarium), and a panoramic sauna are available.
In addition to relaxation areas and a sun terrace, there is also a gym available for workouts. The wellness experience is complemented by a wide range of massage and cosmetic treatments such as reflexology, hot stone massage, singing bowl massage, or aromatherapy massage (at a charge).
Fitness & Courses
At the Hoteldorf SCHÖNLEITN, a variety of retreats await you, seamlessly blending activity, nature, and relaxation. Whether it's a Yoga retreat combined with diverse hiking, an active programme of Yoga and climbing, or a targeted Back Yoga retreat, you'll find the perfect option to meet your individual needs.
With the "Yoga & You" retreat, enjoy a truly personal break to recharge and unwind. The programme is enhanced by unique new formats such as Acrobatic Yoga and a lovingly designed Yoga retreat with dogs, offering even more diversity and special experiences amidst nature.
Additionally, you can book a bespoke Personal training session, which includes a preliminary talk, a needs analysis, and a personalised workout (charges apply).
As an ideal complement, a Cook & Clever dietary workshop is also offered (pre-registration required).
Pool Area
A modern indoor pool with a children's area and a spacious heated outdoor pool welcome you all year round to swim and relax.
Free Time
Regardless of the season, a variety of leisure activities are available both in summer and winter. From Sunday to Friday, the hotel offers a diverse programme of activities, which may vary depending on the season and occupancy.
The surrounding area boasts numerous excursion destinations for wellness enthusiasts. The Carinthia Spa in Warmbad, the Roman Bath in Bad Kleinkirchheim, the Drautal Pearl, and the Bathhouse at Lake Millstatt are just a few highlights. Notably, the Warmbad Villach is just about 7.5 miles from the Dorfhotel SCHÖNLEITN.
The ski resorts Dreiländereck and Gerlitzen are also just about 15-20 minutes away. Additionally, within a 31-mile radius, there are many more ski areas such as the World Cup slopes of Kransjka Gora in Slovenia, Sella Nevea in Italy, or Bad Kleinkirchheim in Carinthia.
Or indulge in a shopping and culinary experience at the weekly farmers' market, a popular meeting spot for locals and guests for over three decades. Here, you can purchase agricultural products and handmade souvenirs from the craft and artist stalls.
