Holiday home for max. 4 persons
Radenthein, Carinthia, (Upper Carinthia), Austria

Welcome to the ‘Strobl Alm’ in Zödl am Laufenberg
A special spot for your extraordinary break from Alltag❤️
Our rustic and very cosy ‘Panorama Almhütte Nockberge’ is located in a secluded location at 1300m above sea level, nestled in gentle alpine meadows in the middle of the UNESCO Nockberge Biosphere Reserve.
This Troadkasten, lovingly renovated in 2024 and dating back to 1677, is the ideal place to relax and slow down, as well as the perfect starting point for hikes, bike tours and excursions in the Millstättersee region.
In winter, the Nockberge mountains are a true paradise for ski tours and snowshoe hikes, cross-country skiing and lots of fun on the slopes ;)
The nearest ski areas are: Bad Kleinkirchheim, Turracher Höhe, Falkert, Goldeck/Spittal, Katschberg.
A fantastic panoramic view over the Gegendtal valley, the Nockberge mountains, the Brennsee lake and the Karawanken mountains awaits you.
One of our guests' favourite spots is the wooden terrace under the old lime tree with hand-carved larch table, barbecue, wicker swing and hammock.
Another special feature of our quiet retreat oasis is the self-carved wooden fountain ‘Berg-Fried’ with first-class drinking water quality from our own mountain spring.
A cosy fire crackles in the wood-burning stove in the cosy farmhouse parlour. Next to the spacious seating area with its self-built dining table, the almost 100-year-old bed from the former Großglockner house invites you to chill out.
The bedroom on the attic floor is cosy and romantically furnished. With a cosy double bed made of oiled wild oak and the antique natural wooden wedding bed of my great-grandmother Theresia, founder of the Strobl bakery in Afritz.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a retro electric cooker, integrated oven, plenty of crockery, pots and pans, as well as a filter and Italian coffee machine, toaster and kettle.
The fridge with freezer compartment and the fresh spring water, which is turned into hot water from the washing-up tap, are a real luxury for the 350-year-old Troadkasten.
Just like the new extension made of fragrant larch wood from our own forest, where you will find a shower with underfloor heating and a separate WC.
You will be enchanted by the many unique atmospheres that nature presents you with every day up here. The occasional puffy cloud cover in the valley. A bright blue, cloudless sky as far as the horizon. A fantastic sunrise over the Nockalm in the east. Breathtakingly beautiful sunset over the Karawanken.An impressive starry sky with a sea of lights in the valley.
And romantic drifting snow with freshly snow-covered deep snow slopes in winter. ‘It makes your heart beat faster’ ❤️
We look forward to welcoming you to our natural jewel, Claudia & Stefan


The rustic, very cozy "Panorama Almhütte Nockberge" is situated in a secluded location at 1300 m above sea level on the Laufenberg, in the middle of the UNESCO Nockberge Biosphere Reserve.
This lovingly renovated "Troadkastn" dating back to 1677 is the perfect place for a romantic break for two.
Fantastic panoramic views over the Gegendtal valley, Brennsee lake, Radenthein, Feld am See and the Karawanken mountains. With views of the Nockalm, the Priedröf, the Kaiserburg, the Tobitscher Nock and the mighty Mirnock.
Originally, this hut was used by farmers as a granary, later as a hut for cattle herders. In the 1970s, the Troadkasten was dismantled by the previous owner Anton at its original location in Mitterberg-Schrott and carefully reassembled at its current location in Zödl am Laufenberg and used as an alpine hut in summer. Even the remaining wooden nails from the Baroque period were reused to join the old wooden beams.
In 2008, my parents Franziska and Joachim acquired the property including the Troadkastn and in 2009 we received the dedication as a leisure residence.
In 2023-2024, my husband Stefan and I renovated the alpine hut again with great attention to detail and designed the extension with a shower including underfloor heating and a separate toilet. The wood for this comes from our own adjacent larch forest.
Now you can live and relax in this cozy oasis of retreat.
You can also rent our newly renovated " Chalet Almhaus Strobl" for 2 people within sight of our alpine hut.

The "Strobl-Alm" in Zödl am Laufenberg is a special spot for your exceptional holiday❤️

One of our guests' favourite spots is the hand-carved larch table with bench under the old lime tree in front of the alpine hut.

It is a real place to recharge your batteries, with a fantastic panoramic view over the Nockberge mountains, the Brennsee lake and the Gegendtal valley to the magnificent Karawanken mountains on the horizon. 

You will be enchanted by the many different moods that nature presents you with every day up here. The occasional puffy cloud cover in the valley. A bright blue, cloudless sky as far as the horizon. A fantastic sunrise over the Nockalm in the east. Breathtakingly beautiful sunset over the Karawanken. Or an impressive starry sky with a sea of lights in the valley.

In the cozy farmhouse parlor, a cozy fire crackles in the wood stove. Next to the spacious corner bench with self-built dining table, the almost 100-year-old bed from the former Großglockner house invites you to chill out. The charming credenza, which we bought from a farmhouse in Burgenland last year, is certainly a gem and eye-catcher in the living room.

The food is particularly tasty when you cook it on the wood-fired hob. If you need to cook quickly, you can also prepare food quickly on the retro electric hob with integrated oven. Although we personally find food cooked on a wood-fired stove much tastier. You'll find plenty of crockery, pots and pans in the kitchen, as well as a filter coffee machine, a toaster and a kettle.

The fridge with freezer compartment, as well as the fresh spring water that is turned into hot water from the washing-up tap, are a real luxury for the 350-year-old Troadkastn.

Just like the new extension made of fragrant larch wood from our own forest, where you will find a shower with underfloor heating and a separate WC.

You will find plenty of space here with a cosy double bed made of oiled wild oak and the antique natural wood bed of my great-grandmother Theresia Strobl, the founder of the best bakery in Afritz, 20 km away.

For the sleepyheads, the window and balcony door have both loden curtains and wooden beams to darken the room. Then all you'll hear is the crickets chirping you to sleep.n the morning, a magnificent bird concert will lure you onto the balcony and you will be amazed at the fantastic view of the mountains and plants up here.

The cozy 100-year-old rocking chair in the room invites you to relax after a hike. While the chilled bench on the covered balcony is the ideal place to read on hot afternoons or in the mild summer rain.

The panoramic view of the Nockberge mountains, the Brennsee lake, the Kaiserburg castle and the Gegendtal valley is also unique from up here. And very often, luck presents you with a rainbow or even a double rainbow :)

In summer and on late summer days in fall, you'll love the large wooden terrace with its inviting snack table and stone slab barbecue. A pleasantly refreshing mountain breeze usually blows under the lime tree.

Another special feature that makes our retreat oasis so unique is Simon's self-carved wooden fountain with first-class drinking water quality from our own mountain spring. A fountain of youth and refreshing cooling on hot summer days.

Sun worshippers will find a windless spot smelling of fresh larch wood on the north-west side of the alpine hut with a view of the horse pasture.

And if there is anything you need, please let us know and we will be happy to take care of it so that this vacation at the “Panorama Almhütte Nockberge” will be a very special time in your life:)

We look forward to seeing you, Claudia & Stefan
