The World in a Village Gertraud Unger is happy. Although she never intended to become a farmer, today this former bank clerk finds it impossible to imagine a more beautiful place than here on the Oberdürnberg, just outside Seekirchen on Lake Wallersee, which has been her home for the last 33 years. Operated as a full-time business, the farm is definitely not stingy on space and offers a wealth of potential activities for “city folk” who are happy to escape their rental apartments in the city.

PINZGAUER SAALACHTAL
SALZBURGER LUNGAU
DEAR GUESTS,
SWAPPING A BANK COUNTER FOR A COWSHED. No, this isn’t some concept for a new show on Austrian TV. But it does require some explanation. There was only one reason Gertraud Unger never wanted to become a farmer. Her keenly aware child’s mind saw how hard her parents would work and how little time they had left over for the family. “When you grow up on a farm, being a farmer isn’t necessarily top of your list”, she says in retrospect. “The benefits are something I only became aware of later”, says Gertraud, with an undertone of contentment in her voice, sitting on a cozy chair in the house she will eventually move out of. The Oberdürnberg Hof hasn’t officially been handed over yet, but in two, three years, that time will come. Her son and daughter-in-law are already well integrated into the workflow. And four generations all do their bit to guarantee a happy life for everyone. The future is assured. Which is a good thing, especially when you realize that practically every second farmer in the area has been forced to “shut up shop”. The story of farms dying out isn’t merely some contrived dark counterbalance to those cutesy commercials featuring talking pigs and their “pet” farmer, designed to idealize the farming profession and promote a rural idyll. No, it’s something that actually happens every day, even in Salzburger Land. Though not here on the Oberdürnberg.
