The Malta donkey stud farm offers a truly animal experience – donkeys have been bred and lovingly cared for here since 1988. Dwarf donkeys, giant donkeys, miniature donkeys, pinto donkeys… and that’s not all the animals! Ponies, llamas, goats, rabbits, ducks, geese, chickens, warmblood horses and ornamental poultry live here together on the donkey farm! Open from April to September.
  • KÖLNBREIN DAM: The highest dam in Austria. The 14.4 km long Malta High Alpine Road leads directly to the Kölnbreinstausee at almost 2,000 m above sea level. Tunnels carved out of the rock and some hairpin bends make the road an experience. Once you reach the mountain, you have a wonderful view and a great mountain panorama from the “Airwalk” viewing platform. As part of a guided tour, you can marvel at the dam wall from the inside and learn all there is to know about this magnificent structure. For hikers, the area offers wonderful hiking routes, e.g. the National Park circular hike “Zauberhafte Elendtäler”, Hochalmspitze, Ankogel, Hafner (the Maltatal is surrounded by numerous three-thousand-meter peaks).
  • RADWEG R9: Probably the most beautiful cycle path in Carinthia meanders for 14 km along the Malta River to Gmünd. Whether by city bike, mountain bike or e-bike – nothing stands in the way of an extended bike tour. Many beautiful stopping places to linger and rest invite you to enjoy the beautiful nature. Entry points to the cycle path in the rear Maltatal at the Fallerhütte, in Malta sports field, in Fischertratten and Gmünd. For our guests we offer a paid bike rental from the hotel.
  • FALLBACH WATER ADVENTURE PLAY PARK: The water adventure park is located at the foot of Carinthia’s highest free-falling waterfall – the Fallbach – which plunges an impressive 200 m over a rock face into the valley. The path to the waterfall leads along a water-themed trail with information about water in four languages to the viewing platform, the place of power. Enjoy the sound of the water, breathe freely and recharge your batteries. Nestled in the fantastic natural landscape of the Malta Valley, the water adventure park has been in existence since 2006 and is getting richer with new attractions every year. A special kind of natural playground for “young and old” children! Source
