Nature Experience in March: The Moor Flute and the “Meckering” Bird

From March onwards, the rare Eurasian Curlew fills the Irrsee Nordmoor nature reserve in Oberhofen with its clear, flute like calls. Only a few pairs breed here in the hay meadows surrounding Lake Irrsee, and the shy bird can best be observed from the birdwatching hide. In the early morning hours, visitors may also hear a distinctive “meckering” sound from the sky, the fascinating display call of the rare Common Snipe, which likewise breeds here in small numbers in the wet meadows.

Enjoy nature.

Your Winter

with the aroma of our nature

Far away from the stresses of everyday life, we immerse ourselves in the most peaceful time of the year.

Idyllic winter landscapes rise above the sparkling snow cover of the Mondsee region, and a deep sense of relaxation slowly descends on this picturesque place.

When the scent of freshly fallen snow fills our noses and our worries slowly fade away among the cheerfully dancing snowflakes, there are many reasons to be happy here in Mondsee and Irrsee. Whether it's a romantic winter or snowshoe hike with fantastic views of one of our lakes or a hike with fluffy alpacas through the snow-covered valley, nature has a lot to offer in winter too. Mondsee and Irrsee remain active even in the frosty season, enjoying the advantages of an ice rink and long cross-country trails that stretch far across the glittering fields on sunny winter days. Our rustic inns provide a warm and cozy contrast, always spoiling us with delicious and traditional delicacies.
