History of Hotel Rosner

Gablitz in the Vienna Woods has always been a popular destination for relaxation and recreation-seekers. Guests would come here from Vienna and spend the entire summer.

Nowadays, many Viennese have their own splendid houses here and live in Gablitz year-round.

The climate: the somewhat harsh, clear, dust-free, pure, ozone-rich mountain air and the pleasantly cool evenings in the hot summer months characterize this area. The mild spring and the mostly warm autumns make a stay in Gablitz particularly appealing.

As a summer health escape: for people dealing with respiratory ailments or anemia, the healthful air of Gablitz makes the area ideal for lengthier stays.

The magnificent deciduous and coniferous forests surrounding Gablitz offer a large selection of shady, leisurely walks with plenty of spots to rest, as well as the opportunity to go on shorter and lengthier excursions to beautiful lookout points.

In 1902, there were just 159 summer apartments available for rent at 55 houses in Gablitz. Our house was also amongst these, renting out three apartments for the then price of 160 to 400 crowns. Today, it is ca. 436 € to 1090 €. 1L of milk cost 32 heller at that time. 1 crown = 100 heller.

The owners changed several times over the course of the years, and we acquired the property in 1956. The house didn't survive the bad times, the war, etc. unscathed, and so we began to renovate it.
