Your Host

Meet Oswald.

I am Oswald – a nature enthusiast, host, with a heart and a lot of love for detail. Each day, I roam the Nock Mountains with my dog, discovering old paths, new favorite spots, and special herbs. From the idea of showing more people this quiet, powerful world, my cozy holiday village in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Carinthia, was created. Here, there’s no stress, no animation, no oversupply. Instead, time, space, and the luxury of just being.
