A short chronology of our house<\/h3>\n

In 1976<\/strong>, Heidi and Josef Kaplenig decided to take the big step into self-employment. In June of that year, the young couple welcomed the first guests to Haus Maria. With their small but fine bed & breakfast, they were able to turn their passion \u2013 both Heidi and Josef grew up in their parents\u2019 tourism business \u2013 into a profession. From the very beginning, they placed great emphasis on personal attention and comprehensive guest service. Soon, Haus Maria was able to welcome many regular guests.
\nEven after handing over the operations in Bad Kleinkirchheim and Seeboden (Haus Elisabeth<\/a>), Heidi continues to advise and support the next generation.<\/p>\n
