Marienhof, Kleinau, Austria

like i already said, the marienhof formerly was a guest house, where you could stay for "sommerfrische". "sommerfrische"??? what the heck is this?
the word "sommerfrische" refers to both, the seasonal relocation from the city to the country and the destination. from the middle of the 19th century, the "sommerfrische" was an integral part of the summer life of the aristocracy and the wealthy bourgeoisie, which was mostly spent in seasonal villas built for this purpose. these often unheatable summer villas were often designed by well-known architects in the so-called home style. those who could not afford their own summer residence stayed in inns and then increasingly in private quarters. so "sommerfrische" and the beginning tourism are closely linked, in addition to the accommodation, there are also local entertainment offers for summer visitors (summer guests), such as the previously unknown outdoor swimming pool at lakes, hiking or mountaineering.
so i love to stay here for some "sommerfrische" ❤️😊😉Read more
