Wesenufer Hotel und Seminarkultur an der Donau (Mark Sengstbratl Architekturfotografie)

You will find peace & serenity at the foot of the famous river in the idyllic village of Wesenufer.

The hotel is located in the romantic Upper Austrian Danube valley - close to the famous "Schlögener Schlinge" between Passau (37km) and Linz (45 km) - directly on the Danube - surrounded by timeless natural beauty. We attach particular importance to sustainability, which is why the hotel was the first hotel in Upper Austria to be awarded the EU Ecolabel in 2018, in addition to the Austrian Environmental Seal, and we pay attention to regional purchasing and the sensible use of food.

Facilities: The modern seminar hotel is classified with 5 flipcharts and also offers a cosy ambience for individual guests, such as the stylish castle restaurant with regional and seasonal specialities, the Danube terrace, castle garden for relaxing, as well as a wellness area with sauna, infrared cabin, hydrojet massage bed and high-quality fitness equipment.

Holiday & leisure - experience the diversity of the Danube: The attractive location - directly on the Danube Cycle Path and Danube Trail - offers a wide range of leisure activities. The boat landing stage is directly in front of the hotel. 

Social work: The sponsor of this hotel is pro mente Upper Austria with the aim of creating jobs for mentally disadvantaged and impaired people. It is the first hotel in Austria to offer active social work integrated into a high level of service.
