April Showers Bring May Flowers
at the 5-star-Hotel EUROPÄISCHER HOF

The sun sends down its warming rays - the shining yellow of the daffodils, the bright colours
of the tulips and the sweet spring air awaken all our senses. Meadows and gardens are
in full blossom and the holidays are just around the corner. Ascension, Whitsun and
Corpus Christi - make full use of the time for long weekends and heavenly vacation days.

We at the Hotel EUROPÄISCHER HOF like to uphold traditions. Here you can experience
the splendid St. Florian's Day celebration with blessing of the local volunteer firefighters'
vehicles - n unforgettable spectacle for locals and guests that takes place
on 5^th May this year.

Or enjoy a few precious moments spent with the dear mother, which have often become all
too rare in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Mother's Day is on 12^th May in Austria and
we celebrate it with due dignity and respect. A special occasion is the magnificent
procession to celebrate
"The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ".

		Our culinary tip We declare the asparagus season open The long-awaited asparagus is back in the company of the Gastein brook trout!
