When Bernhard Flatscher has a little time for himself, he loves to spend it in the saddle of his moutainbike. The diverse mountain world of the Salzburger Saalachtal beckons the \u201cFriedlwirt\u201c from Unken again and again \u2013 sometimes just to meditate in a particularly beautiful place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen you turn the corner near us it is as though you are in a small world of your own\u201c, says Bernhard. We meet the \u201cFriedlwirt\u201c on a sunny day in early summer. On the doorstep of the lovely guesthouse and hotel bees buzz, birds sing and the water murmurs over two little waterfalls near the house. Bernhard leans back on the bench in the cosy guest area and looks out of the window smiling. Even as a child he preferred to be out and about outside, he says, and enjoyed the natural world. \u201cI always did lots of sport\u201c, explains Bernhard. \u201cI especially like cycling. I simply go out of the front door, get on my bike and set off. It’s great\u201c, laughs Bernhard. He runs the Friedlwirt with his wife Monika which he took over from his father. In 2019 he has expanded the business with 14 appartments and a wellness area and the eleven rooms in the main building have been renovated. Bernhard is the 5th<\/sup> generation to run the guesthouse which is situated at the end of the public road. \u201cBeyond us there are only forestry trails. That what’s make this place so attractive\u201c, smiles Bernhard.<\/p>\n\n\n
