About Ecohotel Koroš***

First written source for our farm goes back to year 1524 when farm Koroš was first mentioned also as a tavern. Back than people lived with nature and all surrounding solitary farms where self-supplied. Their self-sufficiency became our vision when we started to transform successful tourism farm to Ecohotel.

Today Ecohotel Koroš is small unique mountain biking hotel*** with ten rooms, small Camper Stop and glamping “Bike Bivak”.

WHY ECOHOTEL?

For more than twenty years, the lifestyle and the activities of our family have been inseparably connected with our love of nature. Hotel owner Dixi was involved in nature preservation already in 1986, when he and his co-workers established the first Ecological Centre in Carinthia. At the time, ecologists were mostly considered to be naggers and dreamers that wanted to - more or less unsuccessfully - change the world. Nowadays, when ecology actually became an economic issue, our family can bring the ideas and visions from before to life in our ecohotel.”

Dušan Štrucl – Dixi director/company owner

  • Way of life
  • Energy efficient renewal
  • Ecologically produce food
  • Energy saving
  • Water saving
  • Zero Wase
  • We employ local people and we integrate community
  • We actively participate on development projects
  • We use manly local materials e.g., wood

ECOLOGIALLY PRODUCES FOOD
The Koroš estate is a typical Carinthian mountain farm with its own forests, pastures, orchards and fields. Since 2000, the farm has been focused on the ecological production of food. We have obtained the relevant certificates. More than half of the food put on the table is produced on the farm or bought at neighbours. We produce wheats, herbs and vegetables. For field work with tractors and other machinery we work with neighbouring farms. With that we include them in development and distribution of income from tourism. The four seasons are reflected on our daily menu. Summer menus are adjusted to the food that grows in our garden and the winter table is rich with vegetables traditionally stored in our basement without any preservatives added. Jams and compotes are made from the fruits harvested in our orchards and forests. All animals (cow and chickens) are free range breed. Most of the food bought in local stores is produced in Slovenia.

MOUNTAIN BIKING – NATURE PRESERVATION

Our main business is mountain biking and with that we believe in and are following next philosophy:

  • NATURE TRAILS
  • LEAVE NO TRACE
  • RIDING WITH LOCALS

More at: RESPONSIBILE RIDING.


WHY ARE KOROŠ’S LIME TREE AND GRANARY MORE THAN 300 YEARS OLD?

OUR CONTRIBUTION TO NATURE PRESERVATION
 
WATER: We get our water from a small spring located in a forest above our farm. Because we use water in tourism, for our animals and also sometimes for watering plants we have to handle it carefully.
 
Therefore:
- Our toilets have double flushing cistern and showers with temperature regulations
- We manly use ecological cleaners
- We use energy saving high pressure washer cleaner for bike wash
- We manly use rainwater for watering vegetables
 
ENERGY: Our small hydroelectric power plant, even though effective, does not work throughout the whole year and therefore can not suffice for all your needs. Energy should we used economically.
 
Therefore:
- all devices and machines are changed only when they are worn out or damaged with energy sufficient ones
- all light bulbs are A++ / LED
- water is heated with 2 heat pumps that convers energy for cooling down cellar spaces for storage
 
In winter time Ekohotel is heated with wood chips that are made from clearing our forest. All rooms have thermostatic valves
 
WASTE MANAGEMENT: One of the biggest problems at tourism places in rural areas are wastes and that is way one of our main concept and idea is– ZERO WASTE.
- We manly use reusable packages
- We separate waste!
- We compost organic waste

- Take you showers fast – we do not have them for massages.
