Holiday apartments and houses in Pürgg

Strictly speaking, Pürgg is no longer part of the Salzkammergut. But let's not be too strict about it. With this peaceful retreat and its proximity to the Salzkammergut, one can turn a blind eye.

Why should you settle here, you ask? Simple: Do you enjoy hiking or climbing? Do you love the proximity to the mountains and especially the seclusion? Do you want nothing more than to simply switch off during your vacation? If you can answer these questions with a "Yes," then you know why you should choose Pürgg, the "Cradle of Styria," as your holiday destination. Because Pürgg offers exactly that.

Secluded Natural Jewel

Many places have a nickname, something that makes them very special. So does the tiny village of Pürgg. It is referred to as the "Cradle of Styria." If you can't quite picture what that means, you should settle here for a few days to feel and understand what it might be.

While Pürgg is not in a Christmas mood all year round, presenting itself as a nativity scene, the charming streets, old houses, and unique location suggest that this is indeed a special place.

Excursions in Pürgg

• Guests love to combine a stay in Pürgg with hiking or climbing tours. Where could you start the day better than right at the foot of many beautiful mountains and peaks?
• But the natural swimming pool is also worth mentioning. It is a little insider tip for families and a great place to spend the whole day near the cool water.
• The Johannes Chapel, which is a listed building, stands on the Calvary Hill. The well-preserved frescoes are too impressive just to take a quick look.
• More of an event than an excursion destination is the Pürgg Advent. On the first two weekends of Advent, the charming village is decorated into one big Advent village. Events, readings, and a wide children's program offer a contemplative spectacle for the whole family.
