Karl-Wirt Inn

The Karl-Wirt is located just behind the Weizklamm gorge at the entrance to Almenland in St. Kathrein am Offenegg. Here, Styrian cuisine is combined with coziness and good entertainment. The large rooms make the inn ideal for family celebrations, company parties, excursions and events of all kinds in Eastern Styria.

The Häusler family is particularly proud of their own Almenland trout. Of course, the rainbow trout is served in the inn or can be bought "from the farm" and in the Häusler market café.

The Gasthaus Karl-Wirt offers fun for young and old:

• three bowling alleys
• Children's go-karts, pedal go-karts, electric go-karts
• Laser shooting cinema, darts facility
• Ice rink with ice skating rink & 12 ice rinks for curling
• Bouncy castles Almenland, open from April 13
• Almenland-Fish tour with tasting
• Guided tour of the Mühlental (hike through the Mühlental)

The Karl-Wirt is barrier-free, handicapped accessible and child-friendly and is also an ideal excursion destination in bad weather.

The entry point to the Mühlental hiking trail is also at Gasthaus Karl-Wirt, where you can visit a completely renovated foam mill. A guided hike through the Mühlental valley is also offered here, which can be combined with a Almenland fish tour or a meal at the inn.

Current opening hours

The Almenland fish tour begins at the fish ponds, where the rainbow trout are bred sustainably and free from genetic engineering in fresh Almenland spring water. The tour continues to the smokehouse, where Bernhard Häusler explains what is important for perfect fish smoking and you can also take a look inside the larch smoker. The tour ends with a smoked fish tasting (including white bread). Children can use the pedal go-karts and playgrounds free of charge during the tour!

On the Mühlental (guided) hike , you hike through the valley of the mills. Where you can marvel at a wide variety of mills in their original locations. From the stone wall to completely restored mills. At the Winkelbauermühle you can also visit the mill from the inside and we will explain the miller's craft to you. From grain to flour, we'll show you.

You can find more information about the hike here!
