Steinschaler Naturhotels.

The Steinschalerhof in Rabenstein an der Pielach is one of the most exceptional seminar locations in Lower Austria. The multi-award-winning hotel – most recently honoured with the Gault&Millau Future Award 2026 for decades of responsible use of regional produce and natural cycles – combines professional seminar facilities with a genuine connection to nature and sustainability put into practice. For teams who want to work with focus, slow down and meet in an authentic setting, it is one of the most interesting addresses in the country.

Several bright, flexible seminar rooms with modern technology, fast Wi-Fi and high-quality facilitation materials provide the right setting for classic seminars, interactive workshops, leadership training, retreats and mindfulness formats. Guests particularly value the direct connection between the indoor rooms and the adjoining outdoor areas: group work can move seamlessly outside, and “walk & talk” sessions along the garden paths bring fresh perspectives – the extensive natural gardens are not an add-on but an integral part of the seminar experience.

The hotel’s cuisine is based on what grows in its own natural garden: wild plants, heritage varieties and regional produce, consistently for decades. The result is light, creative cooking that gives energy without weighing you down – described by many trainers as the “perfect seminar partner” because it aids concentration and surprises the palate. The rooms are deliberately simple, warm and close to nature – a clear advantage for multi-day formats where restful sleep and mental recovery matter just as much as the daytime programme.
