„Die Hornbacherin" - a house with history, heart & plenty of tranquility in the idyllic Oppenberg in the Erlebnisregion Gesäuse
The former residence of our grandparents has been lovingly renovated with great care and respect for its history, inviting guests to find peace, enjoy nature, and experience a piece of living tradition.
Set amidst the impressive mountain scenery around Hochgrößen (2115m), Grießkegerl (1805m), Schüttkogel (2049m), Horning Alm (1542m), and Lacken Alm (1610m), this charming holiday home is a retreat for anyone seeking tranquility, nature, and genuine alpine atmosphere.
The holiday home accommodates up to 7 people and combines cozy comfort with traditional alpine style. Lovingly furnished rooms ensure restful nights, while the spacious living area with a view of the surrounding peaks invites you to gather, read, or simply enjoy the silence. A true highlight is the breathtaking view over the valley stretching out to the Tauplitz Alm – a panorama that captivates at any time of day. Reflect on the exciting experiences of the day and savor the peace that only Die Hornbacherin has to offer. Surrounded by untouched nature and located right by hiking and alpine paths, the house is the ideal starting point for mountain tours and leisurely walks to the surrounding alpine meadows. At the same time, it provides enough seclusion to simply unwind and enjoy the alpine tranquility.
A place where you arrive, breathe deeply – and want to stay.

Host information
Ulrike Kerschbaumer
My name is Kerschbaumer Ulrike
I am the mother of four children and grew up in this house in Oppenberg, which carries many precious memories of my childhood. My childhood was shaped by freedom, nature, and the feeling of being welcome. Today I live in Stainach with my husband and the two younger children.
Back then, I was allowed to be loud, run, stomp, scream, roll in the snow, play with branches and cones, hike, and play with water. Later, my children were able to experience all of that as well. They had space to move, to be loud, and to explore the world with all their senses.
Today I enjoy the peace and nature, consciously perceive the silence, the rustling of the leaves, the clear air, the slow pace. Life has become quieter, but it is filled with closeness and warmth.
My father was a passionate collector. Old things held special significance for him, and through them, he was able to keep the past alive. Each found object contained a story, memories of people and times that shaped him. This love for things with history has deeply impressed and influenced me – it makes me feel the connection between yesterday and today in a special way. The rooms in the house are decorated in different guilds, and each tells its own story – a vivid retrospective of what was.
From all this grows my desire to pass on this feeling: freedom, security, and a connection to nature – a way of life where one can arrive, breathe deeply, and simply be.
