The Landgasthof owned by the Krainer family, nestled amid the mountainous, forested region of Styria’s Mürztal Valley, is a family-run business focused completely on sustainable enjoyment, featuring an elegant restaurant, café and hotel.
Astrid and Andreas Krainer are well-connected with regional producers. As they work together in the kitchen, tradition, responsibility and creativity go hand-in-hand; a kind of “Nouvelle Styrian Cuisine”, very close in its mind set to the “slow food” philosophy. The sincere, hospitable atmosphere of the restaurant is carried over by senior owners Rita und Hermann Krainer into all aspects of service.

Sommelier: Hermann Krainer
“The Mürztal is a bountiful region for remarkable ingredients”, state Astrid and Andreas Krainer. This unbeatable culinary team works with high creative energy in the kitchen, inspired by the regional and always seasonal products they prefer. In the process, they are often open to ideas that transcend nationality, such as the tasteful symbiosis of Istrian olive oil with Styrian chocolate and Aussee natural crystal salt. Signature dishes include sautéed beef testicles with creamy celery and Johann ham, as well as Styrian pumpkinseed yeast dumplings – tradition and interpretation always inspiringly united!
Hermann Krainer Senior is responsible for the very personal and thoroughly exciting wine selection. Whether starting out with an aperitif of champagne or sparkling apple wine, alcohol-free Verjus Frizzante or homemade Vermouth, one thing becomes immediately apparent: variety is the name of the game. Biodynamic and natural wines also have an important role to play, even as open wines, without which such favourites as the Styrian Junker and other Austrian classics would be sorely missed.
Also in their selection: aged vintages and distinctive bottles from Italy and France. Special juices and a tea selection provide an alcohol-free alternative.
With spaciously designed rooms, this hotel comes highly recommended for spontaneous overnight stays after a fine dinner, as it does for lengthier holiday stays. In-house sauna facilities promise complete relaxation, accompanied by a selection of homemade juices for refreshment. Inexpensive “Enjoyment Packages”.
Also: Café with its own patisserie for pastries and ice-cream creations, as well as the Orangerie, a modern room bathed in natural light where hearty regional favourites, pasta and salads are offered
Diners wishing to continue their enjoyment at home can purchase a selection of specialities produced in-house: jams made from Wachau apricot or Waldheimat blackberry, lardo and paprika bacon from free-range pork, fortified schnapps including spruce, pine, black walnut and herbal house bitters. The vinothèque also features more than 300 labels at attractive take-home prices.
Regular theme-focused wine & food tastings profile prominent vintners.
The Hochsteiermark Region offers many rewarding excursion destinations. Located close by, for example, is Peter Rosegger’s Waldheimat. Hikers are drawn to the Schneealm or the Rax. Family ski areas can be found in Niederalpl and Veitsch.
