It's AMW Story Time!

The lure of Austria, Vienna is a part.
Yet outdoor adventure is calling your name,
Take the drive to Adamstal to test your game.

Up mountains, beside rivers, and into the trees,
It will lift your spirt but bring you to your knees.
A walk unlike many others, this is to be true,
Time at Adamstal is among the very few.

“The hills are alive…..”  Arriving at Adamstal in the lower part of Austria is not an easy feat from any corner of the globe.  However, the shortest transit time, from a major city, is just over an hour from the bustling metropolitan area of Vienna.  Known for cafes, palaces, symphonies, opera, museums, dining, fashion, and river cruises, Vienna is a superb starting point for an adventure stepping back from the hurried pace of today’s world. 

The drive to Adamstal, no matter the starting point, takes you on a roller coaster of roads, winding through small villages, parallel to lush greenery, up hills and down into valleys; laying the groundwork of what lies ahead.  It is only when you spot a golf cart, perhaps a lady or gentlemen with a pushcart, that you realize the entrance of Adamstal is at hand.  There is only a small sign that designates the location, and a limited visual of a clubhouse, and hole or two.  There is no village, there are no stores.  There is a golf course, a clubhouse, chalet with rooms, maintenance shed, a few homes…then there are trees, rivers, flowers, and pure mountain bliss.    It is a land where golfers take their clubs out of the car, place them on a trolley, and go.  It is an invitation to release any preconceived notion on how a golf resort should be and embrace all that it is.  Welcome to the serenity of Adamstal.
