Sustainability

Certified sustainability through the Landgrünsiegel seal of approval

Hardly any other form of vacation comes as close to the topic of sustainability as a vacation in the countryside. Where life doesn’t take place in front of the TV, but outside the door. Where we are reminded that milk does not come from the fridge.

Barbecue hut

What are we doing for sustainability?

Use of regional materials: Mainly wood from our own forest, which was cut into planks with a hacksaw on the farm: Birch in the Moarhaus, elm in the Zuhaus and in the castle, Rauris stone in the castle and Moarhaus, a lot of old wood from old stock was recycled. We live and breathe upcycling !

Waste recycling: We recycle the waste extensively, please help us with this, the coffee tabs are also collected and recycled

Avoiding plastic: Buying plastic bottles is not necessary! Please drink our own mountain spring water and, if necessary, turn the water into mineral water. There is also a soda stream in each apartment, where we change the cartridges free of charge if necessary. We sell homemade syrups such as cola/golden balm/lemon balm and elderberry syrup on site, so the children can also make their own healthy lemonade. You also save money, because the natural syrups without additives can be diluted 7 times.

Corn charcoal: You are welcome to use our outdoor grill at any time without a guilty conscience by prior arrangement or the barbecue hut in rainy weather and in the transitional period and in winter. We are happy to heat you up. We use sustainable maize charcoal, which is actually a waste product. No rainforest has to be cut down for this!

Renewable energy: We do not use oil or gas, we heat with sustainable biomass, our own wood chips from our forest, where the wood is recycled: Biowärme Saalhof – Schloss Saalhof

Energy self-sufficient thanks to electricity from our own photovoltaic system: We are almost energy self-sufficient, with solar panels installed on all the stable roofs, the barn and the heating plant. Solar power can also be stored in several storage units. So in the event of a blackout, we are still covered.

Cleaning with disinfectant steam appliances instead of toxic household cleaners

Products from the farm: Buy regional and therefore also our products: Eggs, bacon, cheese, jams, honey, schnapps: Our products – Schloss Saalhof

Extensive farming: We cultivate our farm and our huge alpine pasture extensively in harmony with nature, we follow the circular economy, which means that no chemical fertilizers are used. Our aim is to produce high-quality products without mass production.

Free use of public transportation throughout Pinzgau from May 1st – October 31st with the guest card

Charging station for electric cars is available directly at the farm
