Our holiday farm
Family vacation in a dream location
Our holiday farm is a real family paradise in eastern Carinthia at 1250 meters above sea level.
The free, sunny location offers a wonderful view of the harmonious mountain landscape of the Koralpen massif.
The fantastic panoramic view over the Lavanttal leads to the southernmost mountain range in Austria,
the Karawanken in the Alpe-Adria region.
With us you enjoy the quiet, secluded location on the mountain. Great destinations in Carinthia and Styria are easily accessible from us. We are right in the middle between Klagenfurt and Graz.
The beautiful district town of Wolfsberg is 12 kilometers away.
REAL Carinthian mountain farm
We manage our farm actively and close to nature. At any time of the year you can experience with us what it means to work with animals and in nature and to live in the countryside. We run the suckler cow husbandry, horse husbandry, grassland and forestry sectors with great passion. The mini pigs, pygmy goats, Cameroon sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats and our farm dog Luna are particularly important to us. With our small animals, we can let even the smallest guests participate in what is happening on the farm, for example feeding the rabbits or collecting eggs. This is a real holiday adventure for your children and they also learn how to deal with animals responsibly and safely.
Look forward to interesting insights into the daily routine on the farm all year round:

About Us
The Zarfl & Lichtenegger family
Your hosts - close to nature, diverse, cordial
The farm with the vulgo name Juri has been managed by our family for many generations. In 1974, the farmers decided that Franz Sr. & Johanna Zarfl to turn their hospitality into a profession and start renting rooms on the farm. We, Franz & Barbara Zarfl, have been continuing this passion for more than 30 years. This job is a vocation, and so we appreciate the combination of down-to-earthness through working in agriculture and the constant ability to think outside the box, which our guests enable us to do.
With our daughter Elisabeth, son-in-law Bernhard and the two grandchildren Fabian & Klara, the next generation of hosts is already involved in our family business. With many new ideas, they bring a "fresh breeze" to our farm life. A family reunion with all 3 daughters and their families is like looking at the diversity of our company. Everyone is unique and brings their story with them. Everyone uses their strengths for their way into the future, without forgetting their roots. It is our passion to let you, as a guest of our house, participate in the diversity and closeness to nature of our country life. Come to us, slow down from everyday life, recharge your batteries in the beautiful East Carinthian mountain landscape and experience real adventures in the living environment of the farm. We look forward to welcoming you and your loved ones soon!
Your family Zarfl & Lichtenegger
Sustainability on vacation
For the sake of nature!
waste sorting
Waste separation has been a matter of course for us for decades. We separate glass, metal, plastic, paper, organic waste and residual waste. To make this easy for our guests to do, there is a separate garbage room with precise labeling and description of the materials to be separated.
Photovoltaic system & e-charging stations
Since December 2021 we have been generating green electricity with photovoltaic systems on the stable roof. With two e-charging stations for electric cars in the courtyard car park, we offer our guests the opportunity to charge their e-cars with green electricity (for a fee).
Ecological heating
The buildings on the farm and the hot water are heated by our own wood chip heating system. Only wood from our own forest is used for this purpose. When harvesting the wood, we pay attention to a particularly resource-saving management of the forest.
Own source of drinking water
Water does not have to be bought from us in expensive, environmentally harmful plastic bottles. Enjoy our fresh mountain spring water from the tap. This has the best drinking water quality and is constantly checked in the laboratory
