My vacationTIME in the
bivouacs around Lake Millstatt

Who isn't looking for a retreat from time to time these days? For a place of togetherness? Where you can dream together under the starry sky? The six "Bivouac under the stars. Rifugio sotto le stelle." on Lake Millstätter See in Carinthia are such romantic accommodations for precious TIME for two, where you can experience the closeness to nature even more intensely.

Winter TIME for two in a bivouac under the stars

The little happiness ...

 

It's a poorly kept secret that quickly reveals itself in some places: Great happiness lies in small things. The small holds everything, but it behaves quietly, as if it doesn't want to cause a stir. Nor can it be found - this is a widespread misconception. We have been carrying it inside us for a long time. It is always there, patiently waiting to be recognized. And then there are those places that only reveal their full beauty at second glance.

... spend TIME together

 

The bivouacs on Lake Millstätter See are places where little happiness knocks on the chest from the inside and reaches out to the dearest person you have there, under the starry sky, close to you. Then it expands like the sound waves of a bat at dusk. If you pay attention to the many small moments of happiness, you will slowly grow into great happiness. Two of the powerful keys are gratitude and TIME together.

Simplicity in the midst of nature

A night for two in the bivouac under the stars puts things in perspective. Everyday life fades away, the Swiss stone pine elements of the small hideaway in the middle of nature smell wonderful and the furnishings are reduced to the essentials despite all the comfort. 

Through the large panoramic windows, you can gaze at the stars in the evening and the sunrise in the morning. Built from local larch, Swiss stone pine and spruce wood, the architecture of the Millstätter See bivouacs is based on the archaic shape of a house. Each individual bivouac offers 15 m² of space for a large bed, a table with chairs and cozy lambskins as well as a separate washroom with toilet and washing facilities. Mobile devices, keys and diaries are stored in a small compartment by the bed. This is how precious TIME for two begins as a matter of course. 

When exactly did we forget to look at the starry sky? The night in the bivouac brings back the sky and with it love and sensuality.

Shooting stars


Look up at the starry sky together through the skylight and, with a bit of luck, watch a shooting star on its journey to earth: That's a special moment of togetherness! There are nights when the star storms above the bivouacs on Lake Millstätter See are particularly wild. This is the case in May, when the May Aquarids pass over the earth. It is also particularly romantic from the end of July to the middle/end of August when the Perseids light up the night sky. Another opportunity arises in November. That's when the Leonids appear in the winter sky! Will the wishes come true? We firmly believe they will!

The moments of happiness are fleeting. Fleeting are the moments in which we feel very close. Fleeting are the stars in the firmament that change with every minute. The “Bivouac under the stars. Rifugio sotto le stelle.” offer a retreat, a refuge that simultaneously conveys freedom and security. A place where moments of happiness can be captured and fleetingness becomes an everlasting memory.
