Factory tours
Visitors can experience up close the effort and love invested by our employees when working with the raw wool. The old-fashioned machines are quite an eye-catcher. Most of them originate from the first half of the 20th century. The advantage of these tried and tested machines is their gentle treatment of the wool. One example is that, on sunny days, you can often see a 50 m long loden fibre fluttering in the wind. Just as in the old days, the materials are dried in the fresh air.
Individual tours
Everyone who wants to get an insight into how loden production works is free to walk around the factory free of charge during production hours free of charge. A guiding thread will help you along the way to the different production areas. The information boards are available in German and English.Production hours:
Monday to Thursday: 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.Individual tours are not possible on Saturdays.
We are closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Company vacation: November 18th - 24th, 2024

Guided tours for groups of 20+ people
We offer an approx. 45 minute tour for companies, groups and associations. After a short introduction you can experience production from the raw wool right up to the finished loden. The tour concludes in the generous 500 m² salesroom. You can peruse and try all of the products with no obligation to purchase and, of course, buy your own at a fair ex works price. We recommend to allow 1.5 hours for your entire stay. In addition there is also the opportunity to sample some superb Styrian specialities in our restaurant. A special menu is available for coach groups.
