The heatwaves have moved on and summer now displays itself at its most beautiful. With warm hours of sunshine virtually a matter of course over the past several weeks, in late summer we relish each and every gorgeous day we are fortunate to be granted. Hints of reddish-brown splashes of color extend out across the countryside, and we recognize that the autumn will soon set in. For this transition from summer into autumn, we have selected special Schlosshotel treasures that range from Burgenland to South Tyrol and the Palatinate. Filled with joy, we set off to those charming places which come into full bloom in late summer. This is our time, then, for late summer, for hiking, and for mushroom hunting .


Herbstliebe
A Castle Hotel in Burgenland, Burg Bernstein, invites all lovers of the autumn to step inside its historic walls. Shaped by the spirit of discovery perhaps more than any other family (during your visit, be sure to ask about The English Patient), the Almásy family has created a refuge that is quite extraordinary. Mighty and sublime, untamable and legendary, yet peaceful and personal: Burg Bernstein is the perfect setting in which to quietly bid a fond farewell to the warm season.
