Flachau

[April]

Flachau, Wagrain, Reitdorf, Alpendorf, Sankt Johan si inca multe alte locuri in zona Salzburger Sportwelt AMADE...

In februarie 2011 am avut o minunata vacanta la schi in Salzburger Sportwelt AMADE.

Initial alesesem zona Kaprun- Zee am See, despre care gasisem mai multe informatii si oferte, programasem sa plecam in ianuarie, iar apropierea ghetarului ne dadea garantia zapezii. Apoi ne-am stabilit plecarea in februarie, dupa sesiunea fiului nostru si am extins cautarile.

Pornind de la un top al statiunilor de schi in Austria, am ajuns la Amade.
Unul dintre criteriile alegerii zonei a fost numarul mic de oferte la agentiile de turism din RO, fata de statiunile intens batute de de-ai nostri.
In orice caz, cand am facut cererile de oferte pe net, am spus ca suntem de unde suntem, sa nu avem surprize, desi cred/sper ca "aura" sa nu ne urmareasca.

Pentru ca am stat 14 zile in cea mai scumpa perioada din sezon, am ales un appt. de 2 camere, self catering. Am fost de cateva ori la restaurant, in rest mic -dejun substantial home made, SPAR, semi-preparate foarte bune - chifteloaie cu cascaval topit, snitele, cartoffel salat - la supemarket aveau si raion de mancare calda.

Transport: TAROM, direct Bucuresti- Salzburg-Bucuresti.
Cazarea - am muncit 6 zile cu mailuri, oferte (42 variante), cautari pe net, cross checking - adevarata munca de investigatie, (cu negociatul nu mi-a mers), am luat practic bob cu bob cazarile din zona: Reitdorf, Wagrain, Flachau si impresiile - mai ales pe cele negative (putine, e drept).

Partii

[April]

M-am interesat in prealabil ce se poate face after ski.

Proprietarul - scotian, de altfel, ne-a recomanadat:

Flachau has great skiing, great après ski in the hof stadl, lovely restaurants like the Hoagascht. There are lots of nice things to do in the area, like having a meal in a restaurant near the apartment and tobogganning all the way home!
Asta cu tobogganninigul n-o stiam!

Asa ca urmatorul pas a fost sa identific si alte pre- tobbogannig-uri din zona, pentru baietii mei si cafe/conditorei pentru mine - selectia am gasit-o aici: http://www.flachau.co.uk/flachau/restaurants_bars.htm

Aignstadl (bar/restaurant) Small traditional bar/restaurant with lovely garden and children's play area. Excellent atmosphere in the winter, great service and home-cooked food.

Alter Neuwirt (bar) This bar has a great atmosphere for late night drinking and what we think is the largest drinks menu in Flachau.

Bäckerei Dorfcafé Thurner (bar/restaurant) Recommended for its old village location, very friendly atmosphere and outside seating area.

Dorftreff CafeBäckerei (cafe/bar). Located in Reitdorf, opposite the tourist information centre. This bar, with a friendly host, is a little god-send for those staying in Reitdorf!

Cafe Elisabeth Inexpensive set lunches, snacks and hot meals, fresh cakes and pastries, ice-cream sundaes.

Ema's Pub (bar) Recommended for good drinking whilst watching important sporting occasions. Now has reasonably cheap internet access from 2 PCs on the bar.

Fire and Ice (bar/night club) Opened in 2005/6, Fire and Ice is Flachau's only real night club. Great place to go if you are looking for a bottle of Champagne that costs 980 Euros!??!!

Hoagascht (restaurant) We would recommend the Hoagascht for a more formal meal in traditional surroundings. It is also good for an après-ski beer.

Bar Hoo Ruck (bar) A great place to go for a pre night ski beer and snack.

Jagdhof (restaurant) Recommended for families and it's varied menu which includes everything from pizza to traditional Austrian fare.

Musistadl (restaurant/bar) Predictably this is the best place in town for musical entertainment.

Bar at Reitdorf See (bar) For afternoon drinking you cannot beat the bar at Reitdorf See. Enjoy a swim and then a couple of beers by the lake.

Sabrina's Seehutte (bar) Cool and funky bar by Flachauwinkl See

Gasthof Sattelbauer (restaurant/bar) Beautifully located at the top of the Sattelbauer (approx. 1200m). Great place to stop for lunch during a walk or bike ride. Also runs a sledging track in the winter.

Gasthof Schützenhof (hotel/restaurante) One of only a handful of places to eat in Reitdorf, the Gasthof Schützenhof is really a hotel, but the restaurant is open to all. Serves typical Austrian snacks and main meals.

Restaurant Seestueberl (bar/restaurant) Great for summer lakeside (Flachauwinkl See) dining with stunning views and good food.

Schusterhäusl (restaurant) The Schusterhäusl (steakhouse) is a good quality restaurant with an interesting and varied menu. It has a traditional atmosphere and good service.

Cafe Steirerman (bar/restaurant) Recommended for its friendly atmosphere and casual dining attitude.

Gasthof Schnitzleck (restaurant) This place has the most unique create-your-own schnitzl meal menu.

Weinstadl (restaurant) The best pizzas in town. Also has a nice bar area for drinking which is useful if you are staying in the Reitdorf end of Flachau

Ce am constatat - se mananca bine si portiile sunt mari, au preparate multe din carne de porc - wurstii si vanat.
Mancarea ramasa - se poate cere la pachet. Poti cere pentru copii portii mai mici, cu preturi mai mici.
Ospatarii dau restul pana la ultimul cent, dar de regula se lasa si bacsis.
Supele nu sunt bune si nu merita 3-5 euro.
Bautura scumpa la restaurant / bar pe partie, un pahar de bere 300ml costa 3-3,5 euro. Cand se puneau baietii mei pe comandat, ne costa mai mult bautura decat mancarea.
La SPAR iei bere cu 0,5 euro/ 0,5l.
Cafeaua 2,5-3,5 euro cescuta, iar in magazin la Hofer, cafeaua arabica la 500g este 2,49 euro.

Topul meu: locul 3 Gasthof Schnitzleck (restaurant) This place has the most unique create-your-own schnitzl meal menu.
Matriceal, iti alegeai combinația dorita.

locul 2: Restaurant Zum Holzwurm http://www.zum-holzwurm.at/home-holzwurm-en.html

[April]

Locul 1: Musistadl - ceva deosebit http://www.musistadl.at/de/ambiente-und-philosophie/
all you can eat, 12 Euro, mancare buuuna, si specific austriac / german si bucatarie internationala; timp limitat - 2 ore, erau intrari la ore fixe
coada la intrare
muzica live, atmosfera placuta
Am fost atat de ocupata, ca mancarea n-am pozat-o.
Fiul s-a fixat la o friptura de vita cu sos de piper verde (pfeffersteak), eu imi amintesc de niste dulciuri grozave

[April]

Alte localuri ok, pe partie, corecte, preturile afisate la intrare, atmosfera placuta.
Nu am verificat daca era o regula, dar la una dintre terase, tot venea ospatarita sa ne ia comanda la bere. Cand in sfarsit ne-am hotarat ce mancam, am cerut berea la pahar mare, care avea un pret cat de cat rezonabil. Ospatarita ne-a zis ca s-a facut ora 15 si pana la 17, servesc doua bere la pahar mic (cca. 40% mai scumpa).

Despre cazare
Cand am cautat cazarea, am trimis mailuri la oficiul de turism din Flachau si Wagrain si cateva cereri pe site-urile unor vile si hoteluri.
Am primt peste 40 mailuri, cu vreo 5 persoane am schimbat intrebari - raspunsuri.
Am apreciat ca erau oferte personalizate, cu incercari de a raspunde unor cerinte de-ale mele, nu raspunsuri generate automat de calculator. Am primit si de-astea, cand am facut subscrieri la newslettere.
De la unul dintre hoteluri am primit un al doilea mesaj in care ma rugau, in caz ca nu voi alege oferta lor exceptionala, sa le spun in cateva vorbe de ce: prea scump, prea departe, prea ..... si sa ma invite sa trec sa le spun hallo, anyway. Le-am raspuns ca oferta era HB si eu cautam doar cazare si chiar am sa trec pe la ei.

Am ales in Flachau, apartament in vila mare, gen bloc de munte cu proprietari (al nostru este scotian), 45 m2, camera - living cu o canapea, TV, DVD player, colt bucatarie (tot ce trebuie, inclusiv masina de spalat vase) si dormitor, 2 pers.; piscina, sauna si garderoba incalzita la parter, terasa; housekeeper care ne-a predat cheia si ne-a facut instructajul, iar la plecare am tras usa.
