Experience guide

Spend 3–4 days at Fagus in Sopron!

Is 3–4 days a lot or a little in the Lövérek hills of Sopron? What can you really fit into two weekends in the middle of a vast forest, at the top of Sopron rich in historical memories and legends, close to the inviting destinations of Burgenland? Honestly, it’s up to you. You can spend your time actively hiking, relaxing in the hotel’s wellness area, or exploring cultural programs – this uniquely wonderful region has something for every interest. Especially in autumn, the most colorful season of the year, Sopron and its surroundings are an endless source of experiences.

Relax in the comfort of our four-star hotel and recharge in the heart of nature! When all you hear is the “gentle rustle of falling leaves” in the Fagus garden beneath the tall trees, when you head out for a cheerful walk in a cozy sweater after a delicious dinner, when every fiber of your body thanks you for the warmth of the sauna – you’ll breathe deeply and enjoy the slower rhythm of time devoted only to yourself.

Accept our program tips with an open mind and let the Fagus feeling embrace you!

The forest at arm’s length!

Why is a hotel surrounded by forest such a great choice? The answer is simple: today’s people need nature more than ever. Fresh air, forest sounds, the health benefits of forest bathing relaxation, the joy of movement, the relief of stress – the forest liberates you, offering countless benefits for body and soul. The Sopron Lövérek offers even more: its crystal-clear Alpine air is scientifically proven to have therapeutic effects. You may notice how different breathing feels here – fresher, deeper, purer. Its beneficial effect even extends to your sleep, and we sincerely hope that, like many of our guests, the climate of the Lövérek will bless you with truly restful nights.

The forest is a real gift for Fagus guests, who can collect endless experiences during the day. Cultural and historical sights fill Sopron and its surroundings – Fertőd, Nagycenk, Lake Neusiedl – and plenty more await across the border: Burgenland castles, the Parndorf shopping outlet, the Familypark for children, the charming town of Eisenstadt, and even Vienna, just over an hour’s drive away. Create your own Sopron getaway program with hiking and excursions by car. You can easily mix both, because this region has the perfect balance of content and atmosphere.

Let us share a few exciting ideas to make your stay at Fagus meaningful and pleasant. . We are not talking about the “mandatory” Sopron attractions – the historic city center, the Fire Tower, the summer toboggan run, the Fertőrákos Quarry, or the Esterházy Palace in Fertőd – as you probably already know them. Instead, we’d like to reveal Fagus’ secret tips, hoping you’ll accept our nature-inspired suggestions and collect wonderful experiences on both sides of the border.

For active nature lovers.

Just lace up your boots and set off — a wide variety of forest trails await, short and long, gentle and steep — both near the hotel and across the border. Marked hiking paths, lookout towers, and eco-tourism centers enrich your exploration of the Sopron Hills, while the nearby Austrian Alps offer breathtaking high-mountain experiences. Spend several days exploring: one day in the nearby forests, another day a bit further, within an hour’s drive, in the Alps.

Discover Hungary’s first nature trail, the Cyclamen Trail, starting near the Fagus, from the corner of the old sanatorium. Along the way, you can easily reach the beautiful Salamander Lake, the famous Károly Lookout Tower, and the popular House of the Forest.
Hohe Wand (1,132 m), Rax (2,007 m), and Schneeberg (2,026 m) – great one-day trips for both hikers and leisure travelers. You can reach them by car (Hohe Wand), cable car (Rax), or train (Schneeberg). Families will love the Hohe Wand Nature Park with its petting zoo, playground, and fairy-tale trail, while adults will enjoy the Skywalk viewpoint, forest trails, and fine local restaurants.

A glimpse into Burgenland

During your stay at the Fagus, it’s well worth setting aside some time to explore nearby Burgenland, with its charming villages rich in culture and history. These places delight visitors with their traditions, gastronomy, landscapes, and warm hospitality. Some of the lovely little towns by Lake Neusiedl can even be reached by bike or boat!

Rust – The City of Storks and Wine Lovers’ Paradise: Narrow streets, colorful houses, and cozy wine cellars where local vintners offer the region’s finest wines.
Purbach am Neusiedler See – City Walls and Wine Cellars: A true medieval gem on the lake’s northern shore. The town’s walls, cobbled streets, Renaissance and Baroque houses, and traditional wine cellars create a truly special atmosphere.
Eisenstadt – The City of Haydn: Stroll through the magnificent Esterházy Palace gardens and feel the spirit of aristocratic life from centuries past. The cafés, wine bars, and the Haydn Museum all add to the city’s charm.

For senior guests.

Many in the older generation love to reminisce in Sopron — some even spent their honeymoon here! We’ve heard many such heartwarming stories and are always delighted to welcome our loyal senior guests back. Under the motto Healthy Movement and Gentle Pampering, we recommend:

taking a daily walk along the Ojtozi Promenade starting from the hotel, focusing on proper breathing
stopping for a delicious pastry at Harrer Confectionery
exploring the Botanical Garden and Elisabeth Park
strolling along Villa Row, where the historic holiday villas and the unique atmosphere of the Lövér Hills bring nostalgia to life.

Indulge in self-care at the Fagus wellness island. Our pools and saunas are the perfect places to unwind after a day of walking, sightseeing, or shopping. Treat yourself to a soothing massage or a long-awaited beauty treatment — the perfect complement to your stay. Discover the secret of the Fagus feeling: slow down, savor each moment, take time for wellness, and return to the forest as often as you can!
