Romantic Ideas & Places

Experience a magical holiday, full of love and romance, preparing a wonderful marriage proposal like no other.

Beyond the castle walls you will find many incredible places for spending a romantic time together. We have listed a few below for you …

Picnic in Mondsee

A picnic in the picturesque nature of the Salzkammergut - is there anything more beautiful? Many romantic places are waiting to be discovered by you. Whether a short walk to 'Almeida' park or to 'Hilfberg' church with panoramic view over the Mondsee lake, we are happy to give you tips for your perfect picnic spot.

Marriage proposal above the clouds

The lakes in the Salzkammergut region can be admired from a hot air balloon. A balloon ride is an unforgettable experience any time of the year. You will have the exclusive chance to assist preparing the launch and to experience a real balloonist baptism. You should calculate a half a day for the trip, although the actual journey only takes 2 hours.

Romantic carriage ride

Enjoy the beauty of the Mondsee region from high up on a carriage and raise a toast on your romantic holiday with a glass of sparkling wine in spring, summer or autumn. A carriage ride is particularly romantic in Winter, wrapped up in a cozy blanket with a glass of warm mulled wine in your hands as the horses take you through the snowy hilly landscapes.

Romantic places and venues for a wedding proposal in Austria

Romantic walk to Erlachmühle

On your own you can explore one of the most beautiful places in the whole of the Salzkammergut. The walk along the 'Zeller Ache' will take you to the 'Erlachmühle'.

The route passes first through the picturesque town of Mondsee and then along the romantic path through the forest will impress you. After a leisurely walk of 40 minutes you will reach the last working mill in Mondsee. If you want you can enjoy a delicious, typical Austrian 'Brettljause' at the Erlachmühle.

Rowboat Ride on Lake Mondsee

One of the most timeless romantic experiences becomes reality in the Mondsee region: a rowboat ride for two on the tranquil lake. Surrounded by glittering water, the gentle sound of waves, and a breathtaking mountain panorama, this is the perfect setting for intimate moments. Whether at sunset or during a private picnic on board – this experience is truly unforgettable. Especially meaningful as a symbol of a shared beginning, such as during your wedding celebration at Schloss Mondsee.

Candlelight Dinner in the Castle

Spend an enchanting evening in the historic vaulted halls of Schlosshotel Mondsee. Savor creative Alpe-Adria cuisine at AURA, Mediterranean and Austrian specialties at Culinaro, or traditional Austrian dishes at Benediktus – perfectly complemented by carefully selected wines, cocktails, or a glass of champagne in the Castello Bar & Lounge.

By candlelight and with thoughtful details, experience exclusive moments of togetherness in a truly unique atmosphere. The elegant setting is ideal for anniversaries, engagements, or as a perfect prelude to your wedding – a true highlight for anyone who cherishes romantic experiences.

Together Under the Stars

When the lights go out and only the stars shine above Lake Mondsee, a magical moment begins. Take an evening stroll along the lakeshore, lie down together on a blanket in the grass, or hike up to a scenic spot like the Hilfberg. Perhaps you'll whisper a proposal, or simply pause in silence – either way, it’s a moment just for the two of you.

Staterooms

Enjoy your sparkling wine reception in the very rooms where the last Countess Micheline Almeida once resided. Antique furnishings from centuries past create a truly unique atmosphere. Perfect for celebrating special occasions with your loved ones, our grand state rooms provide an unforgettable setting for your event.
