Friedrich Thomandl is a charismatic person, whom the Kurier calls the “Urgestein von Stadl”. The farmer and museum owner is widely known for his fish ponds and snack station. Now he is happy to welcome campers as well. In a solitary location, under a tree and with numerous opportunities to spend time. Or to rest before the onward journey.

He has so much to tell, because he loves talking to people, has been through quite a bit, and is passionate about reading. The museum of agricultural machinery and equipment he has lovingly put together, with 500 exhibits, is almost like a reflection of his eventful life, only over a much longer period of time. A museum where visitors can feel the inventiveness of generations from painstaking work to modernization.

And because Friedrich Thomandl likes to laugh and sing Gstanzln with his sister Ernie, his guest room is also well attended, where many a famous person has celebrated their birthday or an anniversary. In the snack station, Friedrich Thomandl also met his wife Maria, who was living in America at the time. The name “Jausenstation” may give the wrong impression: Here you can have breakfast, Brettljause, coffee, doughnuts, freshly baked bread and drinks. The fish can be taken directly fresh from the fish ponds.

A pleasure are these parking lots for motorhome drivers in any case, if they are on the road with their family on a round trip through Austria or are looking for a change in the south. For active people, horseback riding, hiking and biking trails are easily accessible. And those who have their furry noses with them can treat them to refreshment in the pond. You should definitely take time to visit Friedrich Thomandl, because not everything can be told here. And he is happy to hear the stories of his new guests and tell them about his life.
