"Welcome to Grainbach" Grainbach by yumyum

Grainbach Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 31 photos

We came to Grainbach because we know some people living here and thought that it would be a good idea to stay in the same village and make it a base to explore the region.

Grainbach is also the gateway to the Hochries which is a mountain ridge that is 1569 meters above sea level. Due to the bad weather after our first day, we didn’t get the chance to explore the mountain. We’ll just have to come back sometime.

In and around Grainbach several farms also offer farmstays. This a good idea for family holidays.

Lovely page Sonja! We loved this area, it was so pretty! Every time I saw those Maypole's, I had to stop for a photo, I thought they were wonderful! Love you pension too, and the painted furniture, something different to what I see here.

What a lovely place. The historical markers and the chapes are so elegant. Something to be said about the simple things in life, this place is beautiful.

An interesting page Sonja. The church sounds lovely and I liked the local customs tip - I have seen similar New Year musicians in a small market town in Northumberland :-)

Too bad the weather was not good enough to explore the mountain! Nice tips!
