Sturm-Archehof

The Sturm-Archehof is one of more than 80 ark farms in Austria and is run as an organic farm in the Möll Valley in Carinthia. Visit a farm where humans and nature are in harmony and where life is still lived in the rhythm of the four seasons.

In summer, stroll along the literature trail to the amphibian pond and the farm's own biotope. Learn more about endangered livestock breeds and discover a comprehensive farm nature conservation plan implemented in harmony with nature on the farm.

The farm is home to Tauernschecken goats, brown mountain sheep, Cröllwitzer turkeys, Austrian land geese, ducks, a colorful flock of chickens, rabbits, bees, trout, cats, and dogs, among others. All animals are free to roam around the farm.

Benefit from the vibrant colors of the flowers and herbs and enjoy the unobstructed view of nature and across the valley.

Spend your holiday with your extended family or friends in the spacious holiday apartments, offering 6–8 beds across 130 square meters.

The apartments feature untreated stone pine furniture, crafted in the farm's own wood workshop.  

Get to know Hubert Pucher, who runs a small, very special shop in the heart of the Sturm-Archehof and has been making buttons there for 20 years. Unique pieces made from stag horn, cow horn, various woods, stone, and ceramics are created in the workshop, as well as ballpoint pens, desk stands, wooden bowls, nativity scenes, and jewelry.

Along the Möll river, the literature trail guides you through the grey alder forest. Texts from Angelina Pucher's books invite you to reflect, while seating areas invite you to linger and “feel nature”.

Visit a place where the hands of time do not turn against, but with the people. We invite you to get to know this world.
