Scharnstein im Almtal

Scharnstein, Oberösterreich, Österreich

Once Upon A Time ...And Forever After...

...there was a family who spent their holidays in Scharnstein in the Almtal Valley, where they experienced a fairytale time.
The romantic scenery surrounding the village was lying in a deep slumber not to be disturbed by any hustle and bustle. They frequently put on their seven-league boots and went hiking through shady valleys and timber forests, whose natural charm turned them into perfectly content people. And they experienced a great deal of other wondrous things.
Scharnstein´s kind fairies and busy brownies anticipated their every wish.
Day by day the hospitable people of Scharnstein surprised them with lavish banquets composed of the natural delicacies of the surrounding land of milk and honey.
In short, they experienced a wonderful fairytale time, and spent their vacations in Scharnstein in the Almtal Valley happily ever after.
You, as well, may experience a fairytale vacation in Scharnstein. This lovely place offers great opportunities to spend entertaining and exciting holidays.
