BACK TO MAMA

Love at first sight Kathrin Röck comes from the Black Forest and ended up in the Gastein Valley by pure coincidence. When she applied for a job in the hotel industry at that time, she had no idea where this valley, which had restored the health of many emperors and kings, was located. On her very first stay, she took a shine to the people, and so she returned. Today, a few years and four children later, she is not only a proud farmer but also a dedicated and passionate accommodation provider.

Holidays on the farm | SalzburgerLand

Kathrin’s story is one of coming back. The connection to the valley and its people was established on her first visit during her temporary, seasonal job. Perhaps this is one reason for her quick return after she worked in “bella Italia”, which is also a place where you could put down roots. It’s no wonder that the trained tourism expert in the world of travel and international hotel management (she studied in Lübeck) set her sights on simple farm life on a farm in Salzburg’s Bad Hofgastein. Things often turn out differently than expected. After she met Matthias, she slowly got used to life on the farm. Whenever the parents-in-law were unable, she was able to help out and take on more and more responsibility. Kathrin loves the tourist part and truly enjoys creating a “holiday world” on the farm. “Our vacation apartments must be such that I as a guest would feel right at home”, she says. This shows that quality and ambiance are an integral part of the Grußberghof.
