How Baby-Friendly is Hochserles?
What makes it 72% Baby-Friendly: Parents with a stroller can roll into the gondola and follow flat lakeside paths, but nursing rooms are not advertised and only some huts have change tables, so planning breaks takes extra effort.

Reviews of Hochserles
Matthias Buedel
Guests make sure you show your „Gästekarte“ (Guestcard). You would pay less compared to the standard fairs which are not cheap. But they wouldn’t tell you, not ask you nor is anything shown at the price list. So, best is to take your guestcard with you where ever you go Sand ask for a discount.
