# Own farm in Grossarl | 4* Hotel Tauernhof
It is morning in the Grossarltal – life on the streets is slowly beginning to stir. In the Tauernhof the first of the early risers are squinting against the morning sun. Yet elsewhere the day is already in full swing. Namely, on our own farm, managed by Markus Hettegger. Here out in the country, hares, lambs and all sorts of other animals greet us in the morning. As a guest, you not only get to enjoy so much of what is produced here by us, you are also welcome to visit us on the farm to take a look behind the scenes, or even pitch in yourself.

- Aiming high: Each week, Markus will visit his woolly, four-legged friends, who spend their summer on the pasture; who wants, can accompany him and listen to his farm stories as well as to the 1,000 sounds of Grossarltal's untouched nature.
