Landhaus Stories

or us, our home is not a static place, but a living project that keeps growing.
This is where we share that ongoing development – from the craftsmanship behind our rooms to the pointed reflections of our #HerrMeier fountain philosopher.
We invite you to read our “diary” – or, in modern terms, as #HerrMeier likes to call it, our “blog” – where we record our experiences, our work, and the things that move us in everyday life.
We are glad to have you with us on this journey.

    Why one day is not enough – und two have only just begun

    Servus! Or, as they would say in England: Hello! I bin #HerrMeier – the bronze fountain philosopher here im Landhaus Gritschacher. I stand here. For years now. I do not move, aber I observe a lot. Und the longer I stand, the more certain I become: one day is not enough – aber if it…

    Recipe Chestnut Mousse

    Cooking for television is a bit like a tightrope walk. You have the time pressure, the lights in your face – und then happens exactly what is not supposed to happen. During our ORF recordings, we had a day with three shoots in a row. That things do not always go smoothly is almost inevitable.

  • Out and about with the Nockmobil

    Out and about with the Nockmobil

    Sometimes it is nice to leave the car parked for the day. For a trip to Lake Millstatt, a visit to Spittal, or a walk where the route does not have to lead back to the same starting point. The Nockmobil stop NM 640 is located right outside Landhaus Gritschacher. From there, the Nockmobil takes…
