At the entrance to the Rauris Valley, in the middle of the Austrian Alps and with a sensational panoramic view over the Salzach Valley, the quiet and idyllic location of our farm offers ideal conditions for an unforgettable farm vacation in Taxenbach with the whole family.
Mother cow husbandry
We live with 4 generations on the farm and practice suckler cow husbandry, which means that our 6 or 7 cows get a calf once a year (autumn/winter) and live together with the bull (insemination takes place naturally) in a herd, in summer they are on the common pasture on the Taxberg and 2 or 3 cows with their calves and the bull graze on generous areas around our farm premises. Our cows are not milked, because the calf drinks the milk for 10 months with the mother cow. For this reason and due to a lot of exercise on pasture or alpine pasture the meat gains in quality and at about 10 months one or two calves are slaughtered for our own use and sale among acquaintances and the remaining calves are further bred in other farms. In the summer season there is hardly any stable work, because the goats, chickens and horses also have access to pasture and are only in the stable overnight.
Children's laughter & happy faces!
That's what makes us happy and why our heart swells when both our small and large guests have fun and feel comfortable at Oberhasenberghof. A colorful world full of varied and exciting experiences awaits you at our children's farm, such as a large playground with 2 play towers, mud kitchen, a trampoline, children's vehicles & go-karts, a swimming pool & whirlpool and the indoor play barn with hay playground, table tennis, table soccer, air field hockey, billiards, ball pool for the smallest guests and store. A screen with video & DVD recorder is also at your disposal. And while mom and dad dream under the apple trees at the playground, the kids enjoy the life around our farm with all the play possibilities. The campfire site at the playground is also a popular meeting place for young & old. Rabbits & guinea pigs are happy about many strokes of the children. The rabbits like it best when the children join them and watch & stroke them (when lifting them up, the children are usually frightened by the animals' movements & claws).
Living on the Oberhasenberghof
Our total of 4 vacation apartments in Taxenbach are cozy and comfortably furnished with flat screen TV and free wifi and are located either in the farmhouse or in the new building, which is located right next to the farmhouse.
