Next Pre-Christmas Party: 19 December 2026

Join us on 19 December 2026 as we come together once again to celebrate for a good cause.

Through our fundraising, we support the Ö3-Weihnachtswunder (Ö3 Christmas Miracle) and local projects. Thank you to everyone who helps us make a difference!

Buy a bottle, give a bottle

For every Join the Pipe water bottle purchased at Acherl, a water bottle is donated to schoolchildren in Africa.

Having their own reusable bottle supports better hygiene and helps children carry drinking water safely to school, while reducing the need for single-use plastic bottles.

Less plastic, greater awareness

The initiative also works with schools on regular city clean-ups to tackle plastic pollution and raise environmental awareness. Children learn about the impact of plastic waste and discover reusable alternatives to disposable bottles and plastic bags.

Supporting children with every glass

We donate all net proceeds from the sale of our mountain spring water to Pro Juventute, an Austrian organisation supporting children and young people.

In the 2024 season, we donated €550. Following the expansion of our hotel, we were able to increase the donation to €1,100. We are delighted to make a difference for children and young people together with our guests.

What does Pro Juventute do?

For many decades, Pro Juventute has supported children and young people facing difficult circumstances. Its work includes:

• Caring residential homes and family-style care
• Educational support and personal development
• Helping young people build independent lives
• Providing protection and stability during challenging times

The aim is to give children and young people a safe, nurturing and caring environment where they can grow in confidence and look towards the future.

Our Acherl Kitchen Finds a New Home at the Children's Home

Our Acherl restaurant kitchen was still in excellent condition—everything worked perfectly and looked inviting. As we all know, the cost of such a kitchen is high, and a children’s home in Ukraine could never afford this kind of equipment, even though it is desperately needed as they provide a new home for more and more children every day.

That’s why we decided not to sell the kitchen but to donate it to the children's home in Rath. In collaboration with Saskia, who runs a foundation dedicated to Ukraine aid, we organized everything needed. Through her incredible network, amazing people stepped in to handle the transport and dismantling of the kitchen.

In addition, we were able to include all of our cherry wood furniture (chairs and tables) in the shipment. We also packed essential food supplies such as flour and other pantry staples for the children. To add an extra touch of joy upon their arrival, we included some sweet treats as well.

Together, we’re creating hope and support—one kitchen, one meal, one smile at a time.
