Also, you have the opportunity to experience a large flock of sheep with its shepherd and herding dogs in nature! For more information please visit www.schafsinn.at!

Styrian lake Bodensee

The Styrian lake Bodensee is a jewel in the midst of the Schladming-Dachstein region, and a perfect starting point for walks and hikes of all kinds. Family walks around the lake, a hike up to the hut Hans-Wödl-Hütte with the lake Hüttensee, or even demanding Alpine challenges  up to mountain tops (e. g. Hochwildstelle or Höchstein).
Whoever prefers the easy-going way, chooses a rowboat ride and admires the surrounding mountains from the middle of the Bodensee lake.

Swimming fun

The Aich recreational lake with many activities, such as pirate ship, trampoline (in the water), and a large playing area, and the Haus public outdoor pool with a giant slide, or the 1st Styrian Kneipp-facility Weißenbach are guaranteed refreshing options on a hot day.

Kneipping in Weissenbach

Styria's first outdoor Kneipp facility was opened in in Weißenbach bei Haus in 1984. It invites you to water-treading and to cooling off.  Thanks to the beautiful location in the forest with surrounding becks, wooden sun loungers and - last but not least - the Kneipp facility itself, it is a popular place to visit.

Golf course

The Pebble Beach of the Alps - the 18-Holes-Course has been awarded and nominated to be amongst Austria's leading Golf courses. A "Hole in one" all Golf enthusiasts. The Dachstein Tauern Golf- & Countryclub "designed by Bernhard Langer" is on the doorstep, in Oberhaus. Three further, scenically attractive Golf courses can be found within 40 kilometres, inviting to tee off in a great countryside, between mountains, forests, and waters.
 

Pit-Pat facility

Pit-Pat is a mixture between mini-golf and billiard and requires skill and concentration. The gear consists of 4 balls and a cue. Your play takes place on 18 tables with various obstacles. The goal is to hole the ball with as few pushes as possible (with a maximum of 6 pushes). The balls are in four different colours: green, blue, red, and yellow. The colour of the table-leg accords to the colour of the respective ball to play.

Guaranteed fun for all age groups! 

Horses & horseback riding

If you love horses, you have come to the right place! Whether you choose a pony-western-tour with cowboys, covered wagons, campfire, and playing in the great nature, or an easy-going pony-ride over fields and through the forest, there is an activity for everyone.
 

Archery on the 3D course

In the footsteps of Robin Hood you will experience how demanding archery is, requiring good concentration, strength, and endurance. At the "Abenteuerhof Schiefer", you can try your skills at the on-site 3D course. Along this course, there are, in a varied and demanding terrain, 26 3D animal objects to aim for - indeed, 365 days a year. Practice area for beginners.
 

Tractor safaris

Single Track Haus-Aich

The new Haus-Aich single track opens its gates in the Lärchschachen forest
on 1 July 2023. Thanks to being in a sunny spot, the single track will open until 2 November 2023.

The single track was carefully created, protecting the environment in the best way possible, using a mini digger and lots of manual work on its five kilometres of narrow trails that wind between the forest trees.

Its three loops deliver an exciting biking experience for all ages and levels. For the easiest trail, you need no previous mountain biking knowledge – it’s great for small children on trainer bikes.

You can easily get to the new Haus-Aich single track from the neighbouring villages along the Enns bicycle route.

By train, use Haus railway station, 800m away

By car, there is a small paid-parking area

Bike rental and service centre (including free parking) are at the Hauser Kaibling sports shop.
