Bzzzzzz … There’s a little more buzzing in the garden at Hirschengrün these days. Together with Salzburg-based product designer Barbara Gollackner, we created a series of insect hotels that combine design, material and function while contributing to biodiversity in the heart of the city.
Crafted from oak wood the insect hotels were produced with Tischlerei Gollackner in different sizes. Positioned between garden, architecture and nature, they create new habitats for bees and other insects while fitting seamlessly into the overall design concept of Hirschengrün.
###### Creating Design Objects for Insects with Barbara Gollackner
Barbara Gollackner, a multiple recipient of the Austrian Interior Design Award, works at the intersection of product, interior and conceptual design. Her projects combine design with research, functionality and thoughtful exploration. **“It was a wonderful little project that required an astonishing amount of research. All the more rewarding to see how well it works and that the first residents have already moved in.”** (Barbara Gollackner) The insect hotels are not only functional objects but also part of the curatorial vision of our hotel. As a design hotel with its own art collection, we see design as part of a larger whole a connection between atmosphere, values and conscious hospitality. As an environmentally certified hotel, Hotel zum Hirschen actively implements measures to promote biodiversity and ecological outdoor spaces. The insect hotels at Hirschengrün are another visible expression of this commitment
###### Hirschengrün Receives the “Natur im Garten” Plaque
The project was inspired by “Natur im Garten” (Nature in the Garden), an initiative of the Province of Salzburg. The plaque is awarded to naturally designed green spaces that avoid synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers and peat, while actively promoting biodiversity. The initiative aims to create more nature-friendly habitats in both private and public spaces. Our garden at Hirschengrün is intended not only as a place of relaxation for guests and residents, but also as a conscious contribution to biodiversity, ecological design and a more sustainable approach to urban green spaces.
**“We wanted to rethink the garden as more than just a place for our guests and residents to spend time. We wanted it to be a living habitat in the heart of the city. The insect hotels are a small but visible example of how design, sustainability and hospitality can come together.”** (Katharina Richter-Wallmann)
###### An Insect Hotel for Your Own Garden
Guests can also purchase the smallest version of the insect hotels directly at the hotel as part of a limited edition. A small design object with a big buzz factor. For your balcony, garden or favourite outdoor spot. Or, to put it another way: a little piece of Hirschengrün to take home.

## Am Hirschengrün receives the Austrian Bauherrenpreis 2025

Good architecture does not begin with a design.
It begins with a decision. With great joy and gratitude, we are honoured to share that **Am Hirschengrün has been awarded the Austrian Bauherrenpreis 2025**, presented by the **Central Association of Architects in Austria (ZV)**.
This award does not solely celebrate the completed building.
Above all, it recognises the *process*: the collaboration between clients and architects, the ongoing dialogue, the courage to take a clear stance, and the trust placed in a shared vision.
###### What the Bauherrenpreis stands for
Since 1967, the Bauherrenpreis has asked a fundamental question:
What makes good building culture possible? The answer lies not only in architecture itself, but in the interplay behind it
in decisions taken, in responsibility assumed, in ideas carried together. Often against resistance, always through dialogue. In 2025, **112 projects** were submitted. From these, **24 were nominated**, and ultimately **seven projects from across Austria** were selected by the main jury of the ZV. **Am Hirschengrün is one of them.**
###### From historic site to urban quarter
Am Hirschengrün emerged from a place with history.
What was once the *Hirschenwirt* has become a new urban quarter that brings together **hotel, living, deli, studios and garden**. A project that consciously works with the existing fabric while opening new paths: Am Hirschengrün emerged from a place with history.
– a **wood-hybrid building** with visible, honest materials
– a **5,000 m² inner courtyard**, where asphalt once dominated
– loggias, balconies and visual connections to green spaces
– a place open to **guests, residents and the neighbourhood alike**
###### Building culture is client culture
The Bauherrenpreis highlights what often remains unseen:
the role of clients as initiators, enablers and sparring partners. As jury member **Kaye Geipel** writes: *“Architecture begins — something easily forgotten not with a competition or a design, but with a decision.”* This decision was made together.
With **Dietrich Untertrifaller Architects** and **LP architektur** through openness, trust and a shared commitment to creating a place with lasting value: socially, ecologically and culturally. We understand this award not as a conclusion, but as a confirmation of a path we continue to follow. A path where sustainability, responsibility and quality are not buzzwords, but daily practice.
We thank everyone who has accompanied, questioned, contributed to and made this project possible.
And we are grateful that **Am Hirschengrün** is now part of a larger narrative of Austrian building culture.

## Why Salzburg Is a Dream Destination for Couples and Why Hotel zum Hirschen Is the Perfect Place for Romance

On a scale from 1 to 10? Salzburg is pretty much an 11. Not the loud, cliché kind of romance. The quiet kind that lingers. Detail-loving, timeless, just a little bit magical. A city for couples who’d rather wander than rush through a checklist. More strolling than posing. More feeling than filters.
Right in the middle of it all: Hotel zum Hirschen. A place that truly understands this kind of romance.
###### Love begins with walking
Salzburg’s old town feels made for two. Cobblestones, narrow lanes, historic facades and cafés and little squares you didn’t plan to stop at, but do anyway. A walk through Getreidegasse, across Residenzplatz or through Mirabell Gardens never feels the same and always feels just right.
Wise Words from the Deer:
We’re not sure what’s more romantic: a proposal in Mirabell Gardens or a wedding at Mirabell Palace. If you can’t decide, do both.
###### Distance brings closeness
Salzburg’s viewpoints aren’t dramatic in a loud way they’re breathtaking in a quiet one. From Hohensalzburg Fortress, Kapuzinerberg or Mönchsberg, the city opens up below you. And sometimes, so do your thoughts.
Wise Words from the Deer:
Looking far into the distance together is perfect for dreaming and for making plans.
###### Romance flows on the water
A boat ride on the Salzach changes your perspective.
The city drifts by, the pace slows, conversations soften. Especially in the evening, when the light turns golden, a mood appears that you don’t plan you simply feel it.
Wise Words from the Deer:
Afterwards, a glass at the bar or on your balcony at the Hirschen? Very good idea.
###### Culture for two
Concerts, marionette theatre, festivals, small stages and inspiring exhibitions in museums and galleries — culture here feels intimate, atmospheric and perfect for shared evenings or inspiring afternoons. And the best part: from Hotel zum Hirschen, you can reach most places on foot. Leave the car behind. Experience the city.
###### Where good taste brings people together
Salzburg can be classic. But it can also be effortlessly cool. A flat white in the sun, a matcha to go, a quick espresso at the bar before wandering through lanes, galleries and small boutiques. The city is full of places you linger in, where atmosphere matters just as much as flavour. Right next to the hotel, furo brings modern vegetarian cuisine to the table. Creative, relaxed and made for sharing. Small plates, good drinks, an easy setting perfect for long conversations and that feeling of being exactly where you want to be.
###### Out and about, then back to unwind
###### Sometimes romance means heading out together.
Fresh air, movement, new views whether it’s a morning run along the Salzach or a bike ride towards lakes and mountains. Hotel zum Hirschen is an ideal base for bike travellers and active explorers. With a central location, quick access to green routes and secure bike storage, your next adventure starts right outside the door. And afterwards? Our spa with saunas and relaxation areas, the fitness and yoga space and that perfect balance between movement and slowing down.
Valentine’s Day at Hotel zum Hirschen
On 14 February, things get just a little pink.
Our guests in love can look forward to a sweet surprise: a pink candy bar. Playful, charming and yes delightfully kitschy. Because sometimes romance is allowed to be exactly that. A little sweet. A little over the top. And just right. Add calm rooms, a generous organic breakfast, spa moments under the roof and that special atmosphere that appears when you truly take time for each other.
Wise Words from the Deer:
Valentine’s Day or just because
Romance doesn’t need an occasion. Just the right place.

Traveling as a family can sometimes be quite challenging and an adventure. But at Hotel zum Hirschen in Salzburg, it turns into a relaxed, happy time full of little moments of joy. No wonder families are always in a good mood here.
###### 1. Because here, family meets family
As a family-run hotel, we know exactly what it takes to make both young and old feel at home. We think about what makes traveling easier—and what makes it more beautiful. From the warm welcome at reception to our hotel dog Lotti, who instantly befriends little guests, you can feel it right away: this is a place for genuine togetherness.
###### 2. Because our apartments offer room to breathe
Our spacious apartments with separate sleeping and living areas (some with kitchenette and balcony overlooking the garden) are perfect for families who appreciate a bit more space and independence. Whether it’s breakfast together in the apartment, a little rest after exploring the city, or a cozy movie night. Everyone can enjoy their own rhythm here.
###### 3. Because little explorers feel like heroes here
Right outside the hotel door, the adventure begins: Salzburg is best explored on foot or by bike. Families especially love the nearby playgrounds, the House of Nature, and the green paths along the Salzach River.
And after the outing? Enjoy a homemade lemonade at the bar, and for the little ones, there’s a surprise waiting: our organic Play in Choc toy, delicious chocolate, sustainable packaging, and a small build-it-yourself toy without plastic. For sparkling eyes and a good feeling all around.
###### 4. Because sustainability comes naturally to us
Children are the future and that’s exactly why sustainability is so important to us. We’re certified with the **Organic Austria Silver** label and the **Austrian Ecolabel**. That means over 60% of the breakfast products come from organic farming: bread, cheese, eggs, jams, and juices, all enjoyed with a clear conscience. Even the youngest guests can learn that sustainability doesn’t mean giving up, it simply tastes better.
###### 5. Because parents deserve a break, too
While the kids play in the hotel garden or relax after a day full of discoveries, parents can unwind in the **Hirschen Spa**: sauna, infrared cabin, yoga and relaxation room, everything you need to recharge.
###### 6. Because Salzburg is simply perfect for families
###### Museums, nature, history, music. Salzburg has something for everyone. Whether following in Mozart’s footsteps, strolling through Mirabell Gardens, or visiting the Hohensalzburg Fortress, the city delights children and adults alike.
A holiday full of heart, design & ease
At Hotel zum Hirschen, comfort and sustainability meet a true sense of family. Here, kids can laugh, dogs are welcome, and parents can finally take a deep breath.
Maybe that’s the secret behind why families are always in such a good mood with us.

## Winter in Salzburg: Magic and Festivity

Salzburg in winter is a fairytale. Snow-dusted rooftops, festive lights, and the sound of choirs and bells fill the city with magic. Here are our Hirschen highlights that make a winter stay something truly special.
###### Christmas Markets
The Salzburg Christmas markets are among the most beautiful in Europe. Visit the Christkindlmarkt at Domplatz or the Advent Market at Hellbrunn Palace and enjoy mulled wine, gingerbread, and traditional handicrafts. In Hellbrunn, a petting zoo awaits the children, while open fires offer warmth and a chance to sip hot chocolate. A must on every family’s holiday calendar!
###### Winter activities
Take advantage of the proximity to the Alps for skiing, snowboarding, or a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the surrounding winter landscapes. From Salzburg’s main train station, the S-Bahn quickly takes you to some of Europe’s most beautiful ski areas, where you can easily rent ski equipment for the day.
###### Fortress Hohensalzburg in the snow
The fortress is especially impressive in winter. Visit it when it’s snow-covered and enjoy the view over the snowy city. The Christmas market in the castle courtyard is particularly romantic. Afterwards, a winter walk from the fortress across the Mönchsberg to the Mülln district is highly recommended — where you can stop by one of the cozy inns, such as the Bärenwirt or Gasthaus Krimplstätter.
###### Winterfest in Volksgarten Park
The festival takes place near the Old Town in the Volksgarten and delights visitors with circus performances, music, and acrobatics. In the heated tents, a unique blend of movement, sound, and atmosphere comes to life. Excellent food is also served there. We recommend reserving tickets in advance. Visit the website here:[winterfest.at](https://www.winterfest.at/)
###### Peace and quiet in January & February
It’s rare for Salzburg to be as peaceful as it is in the months after Christmas. If you’d like to experience what it feels like when the Old Town isn’t bustling with tourists, take advantage of lower room rates, and easily get a table at popular inns without a reservation, this is the perfect time to visit Salzburg.
---
###### Tradition & Music
###### During the Advent season, traditional Advent singing performances take place at various venues throughout Salzburg — including the Festival Hall and the Andräkirche in front of Mirabell Palace. Listening to the old Christmas carols fills the heart with warmth and heightens the anticipation of Christmas.
Those who are more daring and wish to experience a piece of Salzburg tradition should visit one of the many **Krampus** and **Perchten** parades. There, you can watch as costumed “monsters” wearing hand-carved masks parade through towns and cities — occasionally brandishing their birch rods.
Warmth & Cosyness
After an eventful day, the Hirschen Spa awaits: two saunas, an infrared cabin, a yoga area, and a relaxation room invite you to unwind — the perfect complement to a winter holiday in Salzburg.

Advantages to travelling to Salzburg in Winter
**Festive spirit:** The Christmas season brings a special kind of magic to the city.
**Winter landscapes:** The snow-covered surroundings invite you to enjoy outdoor adventures.
**Cozy moments:** After a day outside, warm up in one of the many cafés or at Hotel zum Hirschen and soak in the peaceful winter atmosphere.
**A quiet winter:** After New Year’s Eve, Salzburg settles into calm — the ideal time to visit for many!

Sustainability is more than just a buzzword for us. it’s part of who we are. As a family-run business for generations, it’s especially important to us to think about the next generation. When you stay with us, you don’t just spend the night but you get to experience what sustainable tourism in the heart of Salzburg can look like. With the Austrian Ecolabeland our Organic Certification in Silver, you can be sure that our efforts are transparent, meaningful, and officially recognized.
##### Living Sustainability: From Architecture to Breakfast
At the Hirschengrün, sustainability isn’t an add-on but it’s woven into everything we do. Our city quarter was built using resource-saving **wood-hybrid construction**, with locally sourced wood that stores CO₂ and lasts for decades. A photovoltaic system on the roof generates solar power, while geothermal energy keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter which is efficiently and responsibly.
During your stay, you’ll also be part of our low-impact concept: You’ll sleep powered by **100% green electricity**, enjoy rooms with energy-saving switches, drink fresh tap water instead of bottled water, benefit from careful waste separation and plastic-free solutions. Our **waste management** system reduces food waste, and your room is cleaned using eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning products.
Regional, Seasonal & Organic: Pleasure with Purpose
Our breakfast offers homemade dishes, seasonal dips, a wide selection of delicious and wholesome organic pastries from our local organic bakeries and herbs from our own garden. With the **Organic Certification in Silver**, we’ve committed to even higher ecological standards and fair supply chains. That means every bite supports a more sustainable way of eating.
###### Nature & Community in the Courtyard
Our courtyard is more than a garden. it’s a small green oasis right in the city. Here, you’ll find native, insect-friendly plants and vegetable beds with old varieties. You might even recognize some of the herbs from the garden on your breakfast plate.
###### Sustainable from arrival to exploration
Thanks to our central location, Hotel zum Hirschen is just a short walk from Salzburg’s main train station. Once you’re here, you won’t need a car. The historic old town, cultural highlights, restaurants and shops are all within walking distance. Cycling routes begin right outside the hotel, and Salzburg’s public transport network makes exploring the surroundings easy and convenient. If you do arrive by car, our underground garage offers charging stations for electric vehicles, supporting more sustainable mobility during your stay.
###### Connecting Through Communication
We don’t just want to inform you. We want to invite you to become part of our sustainability journey. Through our podcast, newsletter, or the Hirschengrün App, you’ll discover stories about resource-efficient building, biodiversity, gentle mobility, and the people who make it all happen.
“For us, sustainability is not a trend, but a mindset. Every step – from construction to your breakfast egg – tells that story.”
*– Katharina Richter-Wallmann, Owner & Hotel Manager*
###### Looking Ahead together
Our journey continues: we’re developing new ways to make sustainability even more tangible. For you, for Salzburg, and for everyone who visits us. Because we believe that **a future-ready hotel is a place that inspires, connects, and encourages you to be part of the change.**

## Over 60% Organic – With a Long Tradition

The Hotel zum Hirschen in Salzburg is a family business. At home, we buy mostly organic food. It was only logical for us to serve our guests the same quality, as we want to feel good about what we put on the table.
##### Over 60% Organic food & drinks
Since August 2025, we have been proud holders of the **Bio-Austria Silver Certification**. More than 60% of the food and beverages offered in our hotel now come from certified organic farming – meeting the highest standards of quality, animal welfare, and sustainability. You will find many organic products at the hotel breakfast and at the Hotel Bar, where we have specialised in organic wines from Austria. Furthermore, we farm our own flowers in the hotel garden and use those to decorate the hotel lobby and breakfast room.
What Organic means to us
For us, organic means: species-appropriate animal husbandry with sufficient space and access to the outdoors, agriculture without synthetic chemical pesticides, and healthy soils that remain a foundation of life for future generations. In this way, we not only contribute to an intact environment but also support producers who pursue their work with passion and conviction – a philosophy that suits us perfectly.
To us, organic is not about sacrifice but about gain: higher product quality, authentic flavors, and a conscious approach to food that is not determined solely by price or availability but by a holistic perspective on the interplay of environment, health, animal welfare, and regional value creation.
We are especially proud that organic has a long tradition at the Hirschen. As early as the 1990s, my parents offered a certified organic breakfast – at a time when taking on higher costs for premium products was far from common. Shortly afterward came Austria’s very first organic inn, located in the very space that today houses our hotel bar and reception. We are happy that we can step into the footsteps of our forefathers.
###### Why we care
As a family business with more than 200 years of history, we know how important it is to take responsibility and always keep the next generation in mind. For us, sustainability means not only caring for the environment but also running our hotel in a way that makes guests want to return – today, tomorrow, and for many years to come.

The air is crisp, nature is full of vibrant colors, and at the same time everything becomes calmer. For those who appreciate culture, design, and sustainability, autumn is the best time to visit Salzburg. At Hotel zum Hirschen at Hirschengrün in Salzburg – the sustainable, family-run design hotel with a large natural garden, centrally located yet peaceful – you’ll find the perfect retreat.
##### Highlights in Autumn in Salzburg: Jazz, Literature & Autumn Sounds
A cultural highlight of an autumn holiday in Salzburg is the *Take the A-Train Festival* at Jazzit, just a few steps from the hotel. International jazz and world music acts create a truly unique atmosphere. The Salzburg Literature House connects literature and city history with its guided “liteRADtouren – In the Footsteps of Stefan Zweig,” inspiring walks along the life stations of the great Austrian writer. In addition, there are varied formats such as readings, the *Peng! Crime Festival,* and poetry slams.
##### Cycling with a Clear View
The crisp air and pleasant temperatures make rides along the Salzach just as appealing as sporty excursions into the surrounding mountains. A special highlight for ambitious cyclists is the *Cyclodome Salzburg,* the cycling event in Salzburg’s old town for road bikes and mountain bikes. At Hotel zum Hirschen, cyclists are especially well looked after: our bike room with e-bike charging stations and repair kit ensures safety and comfort, while our in-house rental makes spontaneous tours possible. Thanks to direct access to the most beautiful routes, you can start your ride right at the hotel door – whether for a relaxed family tour or a challenging mountain route.
The colors of Autumn
The forests glow in shades of gold and red, and the clear air enhances the intensity of the colors, creating atmospheric moments. Whether it’s an autumn stroll through Mirabell Gardens, a hike up the Kapuzinerberg, or an excursion to the Salzkammergut, Salzburg’s natural beauty is at its peak. A special highlight we recommend is the *Salzburger Bauernherbst,* taking place from August to November. At traditional festivals throughout the Salzburg region, you can experience handicrafts, regional specialties, music, and local traditions.
---
###### Tradition and Culinary Delights
Autumn in Salzburg is not only a time for nature and culture but also for indulgence. Traditional events such as the *Rupertikirtag* on Cathedral Square bring old customs to life with craft stalls, traditional costumes, music, and local treats. Numerous autumn festivals and farmers’ markets in the city and surrounding areas also invite you to enjoy regional specialties: fresh *Sturm* (young wine), pumpkin dishes, game specialties, or sweet delights like *Krapfen* (Austrian doughnuts).
Warmth and Well-Being
After an eventful day, the Hirschen Spa awaits: two saunas, an infrared cabin, a yoga area, and a relaxation room invite you to unwind – the perfect complement to an autumn holiday in Salzburg.

## Art in the Hotel – Curated with Intent

At our hotel, art is not merely decoration—it is a core element of the building’s identity. Together with Salzburg-based gallerist Sophia Vonier, a curatorial concept was developed that stands out for its consistency, clarity, and fine sensitivity to contemporary positions. The collection forms the heart of this concept and was integrated into the hotel’s realignment from the very beginning.
> “From the start, I wanted to show that art in a hotel is not an accessory – it’s a statement. Those who stay here encounter art as an equal.” – *Sophia Vonier*
The Birth of a Collection
Rather than rotating exhibitions, the vision from day one was to build a dedicated art collection. The goal was to present works that are not only visually striking but that also shape the atmosphere of the house and grow with it over time. Original pieces can be found in the public areas—particularly in the entrance and breakfast room. High-quality prints of the same works are displayed in the guest rooms. In this way, art is not only shown, but becomes part of everyday life in the hotel.
> “The beauty of this selection is that it represents a cross-section of my gallery program – I regularly exhibit these artists in my gallery as well.”
Artists of the Collection
The selection follows a clear curatorial focus: artists with a connection to Austria, strong painterly positions, and a curatorial approach that reveals depth and diversity.
**Elisa Alberti**
Alberti works with geometric shapes, clean lines, and a reduced color palette. Her abstract compositions are calm and almost meditative—yet they reveal complex spatial relationships. In her painting, she unites discipline with lightness, structure with poetry. Two works from 2022 and 2023 are on view, exemplifying her distinctive signature style.
[elisaalberti.com](https://elisaalberti.com)
**Dominik Louda**
Louda’s works are marked by a playful approach to space, color, and material. He combines oil and gouache techniques to create both opaque and transparent visual worlds. His works shift between the figurative and the abstract, telling visual stories while leaving ample room for personal interpretation. Two pieces are exhibited in the hotel, including the atmospheric *Caution, low sun* (2022) and a large-format canvas from 2017–2020.
[dominiklouda.com](https://dominiklouda.com)
**Bertram Hasenauer**
Hasenauer’s work oscillates between figuration and abstraction. His portraits are pared down, introspective, often in muted tones—and develop an intense emotional presence through their restraint. The figures portrayed seem distant and yet deeply present. The untitled work from 2020 exhibited in the hotel captures exactly this quiet tension that characterizes Hasenauer’s oeuvre.
[bertramhasenauer.com](https://bertramhasenauer.com)
**Madita Kloss**
Her works combine lightness and precision. Very colorful, very joyful. Three vivid still lifes on black backgrounds stand out for their brightness and composition. Kloss works with pastel chalk and a reduced formal vocabulary, re-staging everyday objects—balancing playfulness and quiet seriousness.
[maditakloss.com](https://maditakloss.com)
**Anne-Clara Stahl**
The works *Die Versammlung* (2021) and *Versuchung* (2020) are notable for their variety of materials and strong painterly presence. Stahl works on wood, canvas, and cardboard, using a range of techniques including oil, pigment, and watercolor. Her pieces are characterized by figurative fragments, gestural elements, and a unique sense of color that captures emotional tension while leaving space for interpretation.
[anneclarastahl.de](https://www.anneclarastahl.de/)
**Johanna Binder**
Johanna Binder’s work moves at the intersection of drawing, surface, and space. Starting from clear, often minimal line structures, she creates multilayered compositions that play with repetition, grids, and subtle shifts. On view in the hotel is her work *Fakten 2029/20*—a nitro transfer print with marker and embroidery on paper, placed in the reception area.
[johannabinder.at](https://johannabinder.at)
**Julia Haugeneder**
Julia Haugeneder creates sculptural wall pieces and installations that lie somewhere between painting and object. She experiments with paper, glue binder, pigments, and various other materials—focusing on process, materiality, and transformation. On display at the hotel is her untitled work *(Lamellen III)* from 2022. It’s a site-specific installation made of glue binder, pigment, steel, and bookbinding rings, engaging in a direct dialogue with the wall surface.
[juliahaugeneder.com](https://juliahaugeneder.com)
**Julia Brennacher**
Julia Brennacher’s painting is atmospheric, serial, and rhythmic in conception. Her works are created in groups, with subtle variations in color, structure, and composition. In the hotel, five untitled works from 2021/22 are presented as an ensemble in the breakfast room. Their reduced palette and painterly density create a calm yet focused visual space.
[juliabrennacher.com](https://juliabrennacher.com)
Art as Part of Everyday Life
> These works have not been placed randomly, but rather in conscious dialogue with the architectural space. The art engages with design, light, history, and use—becoming an identity-forming element throughout the hotel.

> “From the beginning, Katharina was excited to present art in a different context. With courage—and the will to create something lasting.”
The art collection at Hotel zum Hirschen is not a finished project, but a dynamic concept. It evolves, transforms, remains alive. Guests encounter art naturally—when entering the building, during breakfast, while lingering. Art here is not explained, but experienced.
Those who stay at Hotel zum Hirschen experience a house that takes a clear stance: in its design, in the selection of artists, and in the way it integrates culture into daily life.
You can learn more about the collection and the collaboration with Galerie Vonier in the podcast episode[ *“Art in Hotels – The Crossover of the Enduring and the Contemporary.”*](https://hirschengruen.at/folge-7-kunst-im-hotel-im-crossover-von-bestaendig-und-zeitgenoessisch/)

Salzburg is a true paradise for cyclists. Whether you want to explore the historic old town at a leisurely pace on a city bike or embark on challenging tours in the Salzkammergut, the city and its surroundings offer something for every level. As a native of Salzburg and the hotel director of Hotel zum Hirschen, I’d like to share five reasons why Salzburg and our hotel are the ideal starting points for your next cycling holiday.
##### 1. Salzburg is the Perfect Starting Point for Cyclists
For me, the perfect city trip combines sightseeing, culinary delights, and activity – such as cycling. No other mode of transport provides the same combination of scenery, fresh air, and just the right pace to make a day an adventure, leaving you pleasantly tired and satisfied at night. Numerous tours in the surrounding area offer something for everyone, from relaxed rides along the Salzach River to challenging routes in the Salzkammergut. There is a perfect trail for every level here.
Starting directly from the Hirschen, you can follow the Salzach River all the way to picturesque Golling, passing through the town of Hallein, known for its salt mining and home to one of Austria’s best ice cream parlors – a perfect reward for tired legs. Getting lost is almost impossible, as you simply follow the river. In just two and a half hours, you’ll have seen more of Salzburg than many long-time visitors.
Another favorite route of mine leads into the Salzkammergut to Lake Mondsee and takes about three to four hours. The best reward? A refreshing swim in the cool waters.
And if you want to venture even further south, I highly recommend the Ciclovia Alpe-Adria – a 400-kilometer route that takes you across the Alps to Grado. Not only is it a breathtakingly beautiful ride, but it is also well signposted.
Whether you prefer a leisurely ride or a more challenging route, our reception team is happy to help you find the perfect itinerary.
##### 2. Hotel zum Hirschen is the Perfect Home Base for Unforgettable Cycling Adventures
When designing our hotel, I placed special emphasis on catering to the needs of cyclists. A spacious, lockable, and ground-level bike storage room offers a secure place for your bicycle, while charging stations for e-bikes, maps, and tools provide everything you need for your next adventure.
Our bike-friendly credentials have been verified and certified by ADAC, the German Cycling Association, through the Bett+Bike seal. This also means that our hotel is listed in the Bett+Bike GPS database, which features accommodations specifically tailored for cyclists.
Traveling with your own bike is easy, thanks to the hassle-free bike transport option on trains. But even if you don’t have your own bike, you’re covered – we offer city bikes, mountain bikes, and children’s bikes for rent directly on-site.
Our location couldn’t be better – just a few minutes from the main train station and directly on the cycling paths along the Salzach. Many of the most beautiful tours into Salzburg’s surroundings start right here – ideal for your next ride!
##### 3. Because Cycling and Sustainability Go Hand in Hand
Sustainability is at the heart of our philosophy. That’s why we chose a wood-hybrid construction for the hotel’s new building – an environmentally friendly approach that combines aesthetics with purpose. We run on 100% green electricity, and a large photovoltaic system powers the hotel. A geothermal system ensures sustainable heating and cooling.
True to the motto "Do good and talk about it," we have had our sustainable practices certified by the Austrian Eco-Label. We are also currently working towards partial certification under the Austrian Organic Seal, as we already source most of our food from organic farming. One of my personal passions is serving only organically certified animal products. This commitment is reflected in the quality and taste of our food: Our breakfast is outstanding, and on warm days, it’s especially enjoyable in the garden.
##### 4. Because the Hirschen is the Best Place to Relax After Your Ride
After a long day on the bike, proper recovery is essential. Our wellness area features two saunas, an infrared cabin, and a relaxation room where you can unwind. If you still have energy left, our yoga and fitness room awaits. If you’re too tired to go out for dinner, our vegetarian restaurant, furo, will delight you. On warm evenings, you can dine outdoors in the garden. Finally, an incredibly cozy bed awaits to ensure sweet dreams.
5\. Hirschen Joyful Cycling Club – Your Cycling Community in Salzburg
At the Hirschen, you’ll naturally meet fellow cyclists – at breakfast, in the garden, or at the reception. Conversations spark about the best routes, new discoveries, and shared passions. That’s exactly why we founded the Hirschen Joyful Cycling Club: a community for everyone who wants to experience Salzburg on two wheels.
Here, we share tips on the most beautiful tours around the city, recommend bike paths for every level, and reveal our favorite stops along the way. Club members can look forward to exclusive perks – from a complimentary coffee after a ride to special offers and first-hand insider knowledge.
Whether you’re a leisurely rider or a mountain biking enthusiast – the Hirschen Joyful Cycling Club welcomes everyone who finds joy in cycling.

Salzburg, the picturesque city in the heart of Austria, attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year. But what makes Salzburg so unique and attractive? In this blog post, we explore why Salzburg is "love at first sight" and what the city of Salzburg offers in terms of a perfect blend of historical splendor, cultural diversity, and natural beauty.
##### 1. Historical Landmarks: A Window into the Past
Salzburg is a city with a rich history, reflected in its architecture and numerous landmarks. The Old Town of Salzburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a true gem. Here, visitors can stroll through narrow, cobblestone streets and admire impressive Baroque buildings.
- **Hohensalzburg Fortress**: One of the largest and best-preserved castles in Europe, perched above the city and offering breathtaking views.
- **Salzburg Cathedral**: A magnificent example of Baroque architecture, the cathedral is the religious center of the city.
- **Mirabell Palace and Gardens**: Famous for its ornate gardens and stunning architecture.
**Wise Words from the Deer**: The Mirabell Gardens are a 5-minute walk from Hotel zum Hirschen. Our deer recommends a stroll during the blue hour. At that time, the beautiful Baroque garden, designed by the famous architect Fischer von Erlach, is almost deserted, and you can walk in the footsteps of Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun and Hohenstein with his Salome Alt.
2. 2. Music and Culture: The City of Mozart
Salzburg is world-renowned as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Music lovers can visit Mozart's birthplace and residence to learn more about the life of this musical genius. But Mozart's legacy lives on not just in museums.
- **Salzburg Festival**: This world-famous music and theater festival attracts artists and audiences from all over the world every year. The festival offers a perfect opportunity to experience top-notch performances in a historic setting.
- **Mozart Week**: Another highlight for classical music fans, dedicated exclusively to Mozart's work.
- **Concerts and Operas**: Throughout the year, Salzburg offers a rich program of musical events.
**Wise Words from the Deer**: Don’t try to impress your beloved; instead, attend the “Jedermann” at the Salzburg Festival together.
3. 3. Picturesque Landscapes: Pure Nature
Salzburg is nestled in a stunning Alpine landscape, making the city a paradise for nature lovers. The proximity to mountains and lakes allows for a variety of outdoor activities.
- **Untersberg**: This impressive mountain offers fantastic opportunities for hikers and skiers all year round. The Untersberg cable car also provides spectacular views of Salzburg and the surrounding area.
- **Salzkammergut**: A region with picturesque lakes and charming villages, ideal for day trips from Salzburg.
- **Alps**: The surrounding Alps offer countless hiking and skiing opportunities, allowing you to experience nature at its finest.
**Wise Words from the Deer**: For summit climbers who prefer a more relaxed approach, we recommend the Untersberg cable car. It takes you up and back down!
4. 4. Culinary Delights: Austrian Cuisine at Its Finest
Salzburg's cuisine is an experience in itself. From traditional Austrian dishes to fine gourmet cuisine, the city offers a wide range of culinary delights.
- **Salzburger Nockerl**: A sweet soufflé that you must try.
- **Mozartkugeln**: This famous chocolate specialty is a must for every visitor.
- **Restaurants and Cafés**: Salzburg offers a variety of cozy restaurants and cafés that serve regional specialties and international cuisine.
**Wise Words from the Deer**: In our opinion, the best coffee in Salzburg can be found at 220 Grad in Wiener-Philharmoniker-Gasse, right near the festival halls. Send greetings from the deer!
5\. Christmas Magic: Salzburg in Winter
The winter months transform Salzburg into a true winter wonderland. The festive lights and Christmas markets make the city one of the best places to experience the pre-Christmas season.
- **Salzburg Christkindlmarkt**: One of the oldest and most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe, held in the shadow of the cathedral.
- **Advent Concerts**: Numerous festive concerts take place in the city's churches.
- **Winter Activities**: From ice skating and sledding to skiing in the nearby Alps, Salzburg offers a wide range of winter activities.
**Wise Words from the Deer**: The snowflakes dance most beautifully on our Mönchsberg. After a romantic walk, the hot infusion in our hotel spa will warm you up again.
##### 6. Charming Old Town: A Journey to Another Time
Salzburg's Old Town is a true wonderland of Baroque architecture, narrow streets, and historic buildings. Here, visitors can step back in time and enjoy the unique atmosphere.
- **Getreidegasse**: One of Salzburg's most famous streets, known for its historic buildings and charming shops.
- **Residenzplatz and Residenz Fountain**: An impressive square with one of the most beautiful fountains in Europe.
- **St. Peter's Abbey**: The oldest monastery in the German-speaking world, with a breathtaking cemetery and an impressive church.
**Wise Words from the Deer**: Book a Salzburg tour with the Austria Guides and immerse yourself in centuries past and their stories.
##### 7. Easy Accessibility and Hospitality
Salzburg's central location in Europe and its excellent connections make the city an ideal travel destination. Salzburg Airport and Salzburg Central Station offer excellent links to many European cities. Additionally, Salzburg is known for its hospitality and the excellent service visitors experience in the numerous hotels, restaurants, and attractions.
**Wise Words from the Deer**: If you do choose to arrive by car, our underground parking garage is at your disposal.
##### 8. A Perfect Base for Day Trips
Salzburg is not only a fascinating destination in its own right, but also a perfect base for day trips to the surrounding area.
- **Hallstatt**: The picturesque village is a must-see for any visitor and is only a short train ride from Salzburg.
- **Berchtesgaden**: Just a short drive across the border into Germany, this location offers impressive natural wonders like Lake Königssee and the Eagle's Nest.
- **Salzkammergut**: This region is known for its beautiful lakes and mountain landscapes.
**Wise Words from the Deer**: Definitely book an extra night! A day trip to the surrounding area is something you shouldn’t miss.
##### Conclusion
Salzburg is a city that offers it all: rich history, vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and culinary delights. This perfect blend makes Salzburg an essential destination for tourists from all over the world. Whether you're exploring the magnificent Baroque buildings of the Old Town, losing yourself in Mozart's music, or...

The hotel is entitled to conclude the accommodation contract under the condition that the contracting party provides a deposit or a credit card guarantee. A distinction is made between individual guests and group bookings.
For individual guests, depending on the booked rate:

The contracting party has the option to use the room beyond the usage period for an additional fee by special arrangement.
###### 5. Inability to Arrive/Force Majeure
If the contracting party and/or accompanying persons are unable to arrive at the hotel on the day of the start of the stay due to unforeseen extraordinary circumstances falling under the concept of "force majeure" (e.g., natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, avalanches, heavy snowfall, or extensive forest fires; epidemics; pandemics and resulting border closures; outbreak of war or imminent war danger in the country of origin; systematic terrorist attacks on tourists or groups to which they belong; strikes of air traffic controllers, airport personnel; entry bans into Austria; stricter health regulations in Austria that cannot be met by the traveler; travel disruptions such as train cancellations or flight cancellations due to weather conditions; blackouts), the contracting party is not obligated to pay the agreed fee for the days they cannot spend at the hotel.
The obligation to pay for the booked stay resumes when travel becomes possible again.
###### 6. Provision of Alternative Accommodation
If justified by reasonable grounds, the hotel may provide the contracting party and accompanying guests with equivalent alternative accommodation (of equal quality) if it is reasonable for the contracting party, particularly if the difference is minor and objectively justified.

Any additional expenses for the alternative accommodation will be borne by the hotel.

The contracting party must fulfill their obligations in accordance with the house rules.
The contracting party is obligated to pay the agreed fee plus any additional charges incurred due to special services used by them and/or their accompanying persons, including statutory VAT, no later than at the time of departure.
The hotel is not obligated to accept foreign currencies. If the hotel accepts foreign currencies, they will be credited as far as possible at the daily exchange rate. If the hotel accepts foreign currencies or cashless means of payment, the contracting party bears all associated costs, such as inquiries with credit card companies, etc.
The contracting party is liable to the hotel for any damage caused by them and any accompanying persons who receive services from the hotel with the contracting party's knowledge or consent.
###### 9. Rights of the Hotel
If the contracting party refuses to pay the agreed fee or is in arrears, the hotel has the legal right of retention according to § 970c ABGB (Austrian Civil Code) and the legal lien according to § 1101 ABGB on the items brought in by the contracting party or guest. This right of retention or lien also secures the hotel's claims arising from the accommodation contract, particularly for meals, other expenses incurred for the contracting party, and any compensation claims of any kind.
If room service is requested at unusual times (after 8:00 p.m. and before 6:00 a.m.), the hotel is entitled to charge a special fee. The hotel may refuse services for operational reasons.
The hotel has the right to issue an invoice or interim invoice for its services at any time.
###### 10. Obligations of the Hotel
The hotel is obligated to provide the agreed services to the standard corresponding to its level.
Special services not included in the accommodation fee must be separately marked by the hotel. These include, for example, the provision of additional or children's beds, etc.
###### 11. Cancellation Conditions by the Contracting Party
The cancellation conditions for hotel rooms by the contracting party for individual bookings are specified in the booking confirmation.
The cancellation conditions for hotel rooms by the contracting party for group bookings are specified in the contract concluded for the booking.
**12. Cancellation by the Hotel & Force Majeure**
If the accommodation contract does not provide for a deposit or credit card guarantee, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract up to one day before arrival (at the latest by 6:00 p.m.). The guest will be informed of this in writing.
If the guest does not arrive by 6:00 p.m. on the agreed arrival date, the hotel is not obligated to provide accommodation unless a later arrival time has been agreed upon with the hotel. The agreed total fee for the entire booked period will be charged to the guest.
If the accommodation contract requires a deposit or credit card guarantee and the deposit or credit card guarantee has not been provided by the contractual partner within the stipulated time, the hotel may withdraw from the accommodation contract at any time without setting an additional deadline.
If the contractual partner has made a deposit or provided a credit card guarantee, the guest may arrive later than agreed, and the booked room category will be guaranteed and held for the guest for up to three days, provided that the hotel has been informed of the later arrival time, including the exact arrival time. In the event of late arrival or no-show, the agreed total fee for the entire booked period will be charged.
If the fulfillment of the contract becomes impossible due to an event considered force majeure (e.g., natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, avalanches, heavy snowfall, or widespread forest fires; epidemics in the country of origin or Austria; pandemics and resulting border closures; systematic terrorist attacks on tourists or groups to which they belong; entry bans into Austria; blackouts; etc.), the hotel may terminate the accommodation contract at any time without notice unless the contract is already deemed terminated by law, or the hotel is released from its obligation to provide accommodation. Any claims of the contractual partner for damages or other compensation are excluded.
The hotel reserves the right to withdraw from the accommodation contract if a travel warning related to health threats is issued by the Austrian Foreign Ministry for the country of origin of the contractual partner and/or accompanying persons. The same applies even if the contractual partner has made a deposit or provided a credit card guarantee.
**13. Parking Facilities**
If the hotel has its own parking facilities, it may offer the guest a parking space in a parking garage. Although billing is handled by the hotel, this does not establish a storage contract. The number of parking spaces may be limited, so the guest has no claim to a parking space. The hotel has no obligation to provide supervision. The hotel is not liable for loss or damage to vehicles parked or maneuvered there or their contents, unless the hotel or its representatives or agents are responsible for intent or gross negligence. If this is the case, the damage must be reported immediately, but no later than at the time of departure. In any case, the garage conditions of the respective parking facilities apply.
If the hotel does not have its own parking facilities, it may offer the guest a parking space in public parking garages at special rates. Again, despite billing through the hotel, no storage contract is established between the hotel and the guest. In any case, the garage conditions of the respective parking garage apply.
**14. Pets**
Pets may be brought into the hotel for an additional fee.
The contractual partner bringing a pet is obliged to properly house or supervise the pet during their stay or have it housed or supervised at their expense by suitable third parties.
The contractual partner or guest bringing a pet must have appropriate pet liability insurance or personal liability insurance that also covers any damage caused by the pet. Proof of such insurance must be provided upon the hotel's request.
The contractual partner or their insurer is jointly liable to the hotel for any damage caused by the pet. The damage includes, in particular, compensation the hotel must pay to third parties.
Pets are not allowed in lounges, public areas, event rooms, restaurants, or wellness areas.
**15. Extension of Accommodation**
The contractual partner has no right to an extension of their stay. If the contractual partner expresses a desire to extend their stay in a timely manner, the hotel may agree to extend the accommodation contract. The hotel is under no obligation to do so.
If the contractual partner cannot leave the hotel on the day of departure due to unforeseen extraordinary circumstances (e.g., extreme snowfall, flooding, or other force majeure events) that make all departure options blocked or unusable, the accommodation contract will automatically be extended for the duration of the impossibility of departure. A reduction in the fee for this time may only be possible if the contractual partner cannot fully utilize the services offered by the hotel due to the exceptional weather conditions. The hotel is entitled to charge at least the amount corresponding to the usual daily rate.
**16. Termination of the Accommodation Contract – Early Termination**
If the accommodation contract is concluded for a specified period, it ends upon expiration of that period.
If the contractual partner departs early, the hotel is entitled to charge the total fee for the entire booked period. The hotel will deduct any savings it has from not providing its services or any income it receives from renting the room to other guests. Savings are only considered to exist if the hotel is fully booked at the time of non-use of the booked room, and the room can be rented to other guests due to the contractual partner’s cancellation. The burden of proving the savings lies with the contractual partner.
If the contractual partner or accompanying persons violate the house rules, the hotel may terminate the accommodation contract by unilateral declaration. In this case, the contractual partner must pay the total fee for the entire booked period.
The accommodation contract ends with the death of a guest.
The hotel is entitled to terminate the contract and thus the accommodation at any time:
- if the accommodation endangers the smooth operation of the business;
- if the reputation or security of the establishment is at risk;
- in the event of force majeure;
- if insolvency or restructuring proceedings are initiated over the assets of the customer, or if the customer's financial situation deteriorates to such an extent that payment for the agreed services cannot be expected.
**17. Illness or Death of the Guest**
If a guest falls ill during their stay at the hotel, the hotel will arrange medical care upon the guest's request. If there is immediate danger, the hotel will arrange for medical care even without a specific request from the guest, especially if this is necessary and the guest is unable to do so themselves.
As long as the guest is unable to make decisions, or if the guest's relatives cannot be contacted, the hotel will arrange for medical treatment at the guest's expense. However, these care measures end as soon as the guest can make decisions or the relatives have been informed of the illness.
The hotel is entitled to claim reimbursement from the contractual partner and the guest or, in the event of death, from their legal successors for the following costs:
- outstanding medical costs, costs for medical transport, medications, and necessary medical aids;
- room disinfection if required;
- replacement of any linen, bed linen, and bed furnishings rendered unusable, or costs for their disinfection or thorough cleaning;
- restoration of walls, furnishings, carpets, etc., to the extent that they were soiled or damaged in connection with the illness or death;
- room rent for the period the room was occupied by the guest, plus any days the room was unusable due to disinfection, clearance, etc.;
- any other damages incurred by the hotel.
**18. Hotel Liability for Items Brought**
The hotel is liable under §§ 970 ff of the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) for items brought by the contractual partner. The hotel's liability is only given if the items have been handed over to the hotel or persons authorized by the hotel, or if they have been brought to a location specified or designated by the contractual partner. If the hotel cannot prove otherwise, it is liable for its own fault or the fault of its agents as well as for the actions of incoming and outgoing persons. The hotel is liable according to § 970 (1) ABGB up to the amount set in the Federal Act of November 16, 1921, on the liability of innkeepers and other entrepreneurs, in its current version. If the contractual partner or guest does not immediately comply with the hotel's request to deposit their items in a special storage location, the hotel is released from any liability.
The amount of any liability is limited to the hotel's maximum liability insurance coverage. The contractual partner or guest's own fault will be taken into account when determining any compensation.
The hotel's liability is excluded for slight negligence. If the contractual partner is an entrepreneur, liability is also excluded for gross negligence. In such cases, the burden of proof for the fault lies with the contractual partner. Consequential damages or indirect damages, as well as lost profits, will not be compensated under any circumstances.
The hotel is liable for valuables, money, and securities only up to the current amount of 550 euros. The hotel is only liable for any damage exceeding this amount if it has accepted these items for safekeeping with knowledge of their nature or if the damage was caused by the hotel itself or its agents. The liability limitations set out in these General Terms and Conditions apply accordingly.
The hotel may refuse to store valuables, money, and securities if they are significantly more valuable than items usually entrusted to the hotel by guests.
In any case of assumed safekeeping, liability is excluded if the contractual partner and/or guest does not immediately report the damage to the hotel upon discovery. In addition, such claims must be asserted in court by the contractual partner or guest within three years of discovery or possible discovery; otherwise, the right is extinguished.

### A piece of history
Get to know the Hirsch! Our hotel is full of history which you can learn more about here. We are happy to share some of the most significant dates with you.
It is the year
1526
The first records of Hotel zum Hirschen date back to the year 1526. At that time, an extensive courtyard was registered in the land registry. Until today, the Hirschen has passed through the hands of over 30 generations.
↪ Extract of the land registry
↪ Picture from the archive of the Salzburg Museum
Year
1700
Around 1700, the name "Hirschenwirt" first appears. At that time, the now well-known 5-star hotel "Goldener Hirsch" was operated by an innkeeper who owned his estate on the grounds of the Hirschen, called the Hirschenwirtshof. Since his daughter inherited everything, our green Hirsch and the Golden Hirsch had the same owner for a few years.
Year
1830
The year 1830 was eventful: the estate came into the possession of the current owner's family, and hotel rooms were rented out for the first time. Even Constanze, Mozart's widow, stayed at the Hirschen at that time - but she did not settle her bills, which is why she is listed in the land registry with debts.
↪ A flyer of Hotel zum Hirschen
↪ Reconstruction of the hotel a bomb impact
Year
1949
During World War II, a bomb falls on the old house. With the help of the Marshall Plan, grandfather Peppi Wallmann rebuilds the Hirschen and even expands it with some additional rooms.
↪ The kitchen of the Hirschen in 1969
↪ Flyer from the 1950s
↪ Post card of the Hirschen
The
80s
In the 1980s, a generational change takes place, and Franz Wallmann takes over the inn and the hotel along with his wife Russella. The native Englishwoman arrived at Hotel zum Hirschen as a tour guide with a group. As fate would have it, she stayed and never returned to England. Together, they turn Hirschen into a Salzburg institution, known for the legendary Hirschen sauna and the famous and infamous jazz evenings.
The
2020s
In 2020, the hotel was handed over to daughter Katharina and her husband Nikolaus. Having spent the last 10 years abroad in the UK and Berlin, Katharina brings many creative ideas for the redevelopment of the hotel. Together, they are making the Hirschen a special place.
With an international team, Hotel zum Hirschen - like 'the old Hirschen' - is intended to endure for centuries, enriching Elisabeth-Vorstadt in terms of quality and aesthetics, and becoming a part of Salzburg's history.

When the Hirsch is in,
the guests start dancing
on the tables.
### In the mornings.
#### Breakfast at the Hirschen
We love the smell of freshly baked sourdough in the morning. Together with a cup of strong coffee – this is how we get ready to climb every mountain at the Hirschen. Prepared with love, we serve a mix of breakfast classics with an Austrian touch as well as dishes that reflect the people and nationalities of the Hirschen family. On warm sunny mornings we open the terrace doors to our garden and you can enjoy all this goodness al fresco. More than 60% of all products on offer are organically produced and we are proud holder of the "Organic Austria Silver Certificate".
Pssst.
For those who like to lie in...
Saturday & Sunday until 11am
Sooo Tasty
#### Welcome to the
Hirschen Bar
When the Hirsch is in, our guests start dancing on the tables. Or so the legend goes. The Hirschen Bar opens at midday offering coffee and cake, a selection of Austrian wines, beers and classic cocktails as well as savoury snacks. The perfect place to unwind, meet new people and unleash your inner Hirsch.

#### Deli
##### furo
###### Next to Hirschen
Delightful vegetarian cuisine sprinkled with a joyful mediterranean influence.
Martin, Salzburgs hottest restauranteur, has chosen the Hirschen as the new home for his labour of love. In the kitchen of furo, Salzburg meets the cuisine of Tel Aviv, with a focus on freshly baked sourdough goods, veggie dishes big and small, for sharing or eating alone.
Not only does furo delight with food, but also with its ambience. The restaurant boasts high ceilings with glass doors that open up to the terrace, creating a seamless transition into the garden. Smelling the summer, feeling the warm air on your skin, and hearing the birds chirping – furo is a place of ease in the heart of the city. It's perfect for those who enjoy trying something new. Due to popular demand we recommend making a reservation.
