We are an English family with 3 kids who fell in love with Niedernsill and the local area when we first visited a few years ago. In England we love cycling, walking, swimming and horse riding and Niedernsill offered all this and more. Our kids love Austria - the Niedernsill lake, The Tauern Spa and the many family trails in the mountains. As parents, we love the safety, clean and healthy environment and year round activities.
