"Hallo Franz,
We would like to thank you for the perfect organization of our men's holiday in Fieberbrunn. The hotel was great, we made full use of the wellness area every evening. Since we had the mountain railway on our doorstep, we went skiing every day, it was wonderful. Such comfort at this unbeatable price!!! We would be happy to get in touch again in summer for a hiking holiday. Thank you!"

Peter

"Dear Christiane,
Thank you for helping us book our holiday. We had the pleasure of staying at the Kronthaler for wellness days for the second time, and what can I say, we were speechless again. The Kronthaler really offers every luxury and you are welcomed so warmly. We saved almost 400 euros, your offer is unbeatable. Many thanks to you for your efforts!"

Astrid

"Hallo!
Thank you for recommending the Reitberger. I was a bit skeptical at first because I've never been to the Czech Republic, but it was one of our most beautiful wellness vacations. Due to my professional stress, I was at the limit of my strength. Me and my husband were "rejuvenated" in the Reitenberger. We had 3 treatments per day and at affordable prices. The quality of the wellness offers and the food was excellent. I totally underestimated the Czech Republic. Thank you for broadening your horizons."

Herta

"Dear Green Habitat Team,
Thank you for this great honeymoon get away. We spent 4 great days in the Golden Ship and were totally spoiled. The breakfast buffet was amazing, my husband still raves about it to this day. The staff was very friendly and gave us lots of tips for activities. The carriage ride through Bad Ischl was an absolute highlight. Thank you for your great offer and your warm customer service. That is not to be taken for granted, especially not at this price!"

Empowering Global Green Change

About Green Habitat

Green Habitat is a family-run business from Linz, wholeheartedly dedicated to making the world a better place. For us, "green" is not just a word, but a way of life. To further this commitment, we collaborate with the TwoWings Foundation, which has been financially supporting educational projects in the Southern Hemisphere since 1996 and is also active in Austria. The focus is on holistic education, environmental protection, and the empowerment of women.

Our Impactful Project

One project we at Green Habitat are particularly proud of is the development of a modern database and app for TwoWings partner organizations who develop environmental and educational projects in Sambia and Colombia. This platform allows for the systematic documentation of environmental training and tree-planting projects. To date, over 20,000 trees planted by local communities have been registered, and hundreds of training sessions documented. The platform also includes additional features that help these projects expand their reach and impact.

Sustainable Community Development

Thanks to these sustainable approaches, it's not just about planting a tree; entire communities are empowered to plant and care for fruit and indigenous trees across generations. The data and experiences collected through this platform contribute to further education and can be shared widely – the more people undergo environmental training and develop a deeper appreciation for nature, the more they become advocates for its protection.

Join Our Green Journey

By purchasing from Green Habitat, you are strengthening us economically, allowing us to continue supporting the environment. If you wish to invest directly in education, we are happy to refer you to the TwoWings Foundation at www.twowings.com. Businesses that support the foundation can also benefit from special offers and discounts.

We warmly invite you to join us on this journey, because together, we can achieve even more.
