Day 3 (Monday):
A relaxing day with a round of farmer’s golf. Old farm tools were put together to form an impressive “Farmer’s golf course” similar to a giant’s Mini-golf course. You walk about 5 km through tranquil forests, meadows and fields and the idyllic moor. Back at the hotel your day is completed in a most unusual way: you plunge into a large wooden barrel filled with an aromatic beer-bath and sip a pint of beer freshly drawn from the tap next to your barrel. Afterwards a rest on a freshly made bed of straw awaits you.

After breakfast a bus transfers you to Salzburg and to the “Brewery World” of the biggest private brewery of Austria for a taste of the various beer specialities.
