Vacation happiness at the Familiengut

Advent at the Familiengut: A magical experience.

In the winter months, Lake Millstätter See unfolds its unique charm. When the first snowflakes gently envelop the landscape, the Familiengut Burgstaller in Döbriach is transformed into a place full of wonder and festive joy.

When the cold season arrives, our Familiengut shines in a glittering sea of lights that touches the hearts of all generations. The Advent and Christmas time brings with it beloved traditions, delicious treats and beguiling scents that fill the air and create an unforgettable atmosphere. Everywhere you go, you can feel the magical mood that spreads joy and contemplation.

Advent of lights to the Animal Village.

On December 13 & 14 from 17:00, our path of lights will light up and lead you from the hotel to the picturesque Animal Village. Soft lights give the trees and bushes a warm, inviting glow. Enjoy hot drinks and freshly roasted chestnuts while the crackling of the fire conjures up a cozy atmosphere. The children can feed the animals and experience little delights.

We invite you to round off the evening with a delicious dinner at the Familiengut.

With her magic star, she opens time portals that bring the history of Millstatt Abbey and the Barbara Egger Park to life. A special highlight for children is the talking fairy tree “Lindarius” in the courtyard of Millstatt Abbey. From December 1st 2024 to January 6th 2025, it opens its eyes daily from 5:00 to 9:00 and tells stories of fairies, goblins and nature spirits - an unforgettable adventure for the whole family!

Winter magic on the water.

Experience the magic of winter on the Lake Millstätter See! The MS Porcia glides gently over the winter waves while Captain Franz tells stories of life on the lake over mulled cider and apple punch. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the view of the snow-covered mountains. Visitors young and old can send their wishes on the lake in wish boats at the Millstatt lido. Write your heart's desire on the sail, light a candle and let the boat drift. Wish boats are available from the Millstatt Tourist Office and in the bathhouse.
