UNWIND
Satisfy a long harboured yearning, find a special place where you can
leave the turbulent times behind, breathe away your cares and let your
mind untangle. A light breeze brushes across the rippled water. Sunlight warms
my skin. In the distance I hear a gentle rumble of thunder, but as I gaze at the
majestic mountains the sky above is blue. The scent of wild grasses drifts across
from the lake shore, my breath runs smooth and free. Everything is just the way
it should be – here in my Weisses Rössl at Lake Wolfgangsee. #ImWeissenRössl

FOR MY RÖSSL GUESTS
WELCOME
At last the days are getting longer. The view across the lake as the sun bounces
off the water lets us forget the worries of the past – time for a fresh start into a
new season at the Weisses Rössl. Imagine you spent day and night, week after week,
year upon year in the same place, in the very same house. What would you do to keep
your motivation alive? I've been asked this many a time, and the answer is easy – I reflect,
evaluate, discard or retain, revamp and improve everything I cherish and hold dear. Then
I look for people I can work with. People who share the same values and care about the
same things, who love bringing happiness into other's lives as much as I do. The Rössl
values are reflected in every detail and come together in our annual theme. And that,
my dear Rössl guests, is where you come into play. That's when we reach out to those
who want to come and enjoy what we have to offer, people who will place their trust in
us by choosing to spend their precious holiday time here. We take this responsibility very
seriously. The following pages offer an introduction to some of our wonderful employees
who make work a pleasure, day after day, year-in, year-out.
Here at the Rössl, family, staff and partners have always been at the heart of what we
do. My grandmother was a great advocate for keeping value creation within the region
and my father continuously promoted tourism both from and for the local population.
Our generation is continuing this legacy. In every My Rössl, we introduce some of the
regional personalities and businesses you may come across during your stay – or perhaps
you're already familiar with them? Many of you have probably met Ernst and his bikes
(or skis in winter), and you're bound to know Siggi – or at least his famous schnapps.
But what would any of this be without the ability to meet and celebrate? After so many
months of restrictions and separation we're literally crying out to come together and
share each other's special occasions. Seeing friends and family, celebrating together –
these are a hallmark of the Rössl. Our team is here for you, from initial planning through
to after-care, to ensure you have an unforgettably wonderful time. Yet celebrating can
also mean simply sharing a good bottle of wine with a cherished person and gazing out
at the lake. Here in the Salzkammergut region we say that's "gschmå", our term for cosy.
On that note, I wish you all the best, keep well and see you soon in the Rössl.
Yours
Gudrun Peter and the Rössl team
PS: Speaking of pet projects and things I cherish: The Rössl now has a brand new Spa
Suite with lake-side veranda. The 80 m² suite includes a dedicated wellness area – a spe-
cial hideaway for those seeking rest and relaxation. See page 15 for details of our Spa
Suite introductory offer.
PPS: We've dedicated the cover of this issue to the wedding theme, a core aspect of a
Romantik hotel. Of course, here at the Rössl we have a bit of a tradition when it comes
to exciting love stories.

Summer by the lake.
A lakeside summer is my kind of summer. Beside me the crystal waters of Lake Wolfgangsee,
above me just blue sky, framed by magnificent mountains – what more could one want.
Leaping off the diving board into the refreshing water. Discovering that even the second gear of the
e-power boat sets a very leisurely pace. Gliding along aimlessly in the pedal boat. Practising your bal-
ancing skills on a stand up paddleboard or even on the water skis... No matter how you decide to spend
your time, enjoy the relaxing waters of the Wolfgangsee to their fullest. Top it all off with a classy sun-
downer, a fizzy Rössl summer drink with fresh mint or a cold Peterbräu beer. That's what I call enjoying
summer with all your senses. #ImWeissenRössl
