heated pool and conservatory as well as kiddie stuff including a playroom, sandpit and
swings.

Pension Hochdürrnberg €
( 751 83; Rumpelgasse 14, Bad Dürrnberg; d/tr €60/70; ) Surrounded by mead-
ows, this farmhouse in Bad Dürrnberg has countrified rooms with warm pine furnishings
and downy bedding. The furry residents (rabbits, sheep and cows) keep children amused.

GUESTHOUSE

Bistro Barock €€
(Gollinger-Tor-Gasse 1; lunch €7.30-8.60, mains €7-16; Mon-Sat; ) Hidden down
an old-town backstreet, the cobbled terrace at this art-strewn bistro is a magnet to lunch-
