A Mühlviertel winter dream

Between snowshoes, horse-drawn sleighs and winter hiking trails

Winter holiday in Liebenau

Winter experiences away from the cross-country ski trail in the Mühlviertel

When winter quietly enchants

It’s not just cross-country skiers who get their money’s worth in Liebenau – winter around Hotel Rockenschaub also offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature in the Mühlviertel region away from the cross-country trails. Explore the snow-covered landscape around the eight thousand metre pe aks of Liebenau on snowshoes – on your own or on a guided tour with host Rocky. There may even be a small summit victory with a fantastic view at over 1,000 metres above sea level waiting for you.

Romantics can enjoy the winter tranquillity on a horse-drawn sleigh ride through snow-covered forests or on a walk along beautifully prepared winter hiking trails. Even when there is little snow, many marked hiking trails are still easily accessible.

After an active winter’s day, you can relax in our “source of strength” before being spoilt with culinary delights from the regional cuisine at Hotel Rockenschaub.
