Cozy vacation apartment with a combined living room and bedroom, including a built-in kitchenette. Separate bedroom with three beds. South-facing view of the local mountain, Petzen, and a west-facing view of the Feistritzbach stream.



The Werkhof Bistrica is an ideal starting point for nature experiences, sports, and artistic activities. We offer a total of 4 cozy vacation apartments, 3 family rooms, and one accessible double room. From March through June and from September through November, we primarily host courses and project days for groups of children, teens, and adults. During school breaks, sports enthusiasts and families especially appreciate the Werkhof.
Depending on your preference, you can choose between self-catering or meals that include a generous breakfast buffet.
Families with children of all ages will find plenty of space at the Werkhof to play and let off steam—whether in our garden, in the spacious game room (table tennis, foosball, and billiards), or, in case of bad weather, playing indoor hockey in our hall, for example.
Our local mountain—the Petzen—is a year-round destination for all fitness levels:

• From spring through fall, the Petzen is perfect for walking, hiking, or mountain biking
• In winter, there are well-groomed slopes for skiing, and there are plenty of opportunities for ski touring, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.
Our guests can swim for free at nearby Lake Pirkdorfersee.
In our workshops, we invite you to get creative: ceramics, weaving, and sculpture are our three main focuses. Depending on your preference, you can work independently or with guidance. We’re also happy to offer courses for groups by arrangement.
