Austria Welcome Travelers to Step Into a World of 180000 Lights at IKUNA Nature Resort – Travel And Tour World

Austria’s IKUNA Nature Resort in Natternbach invites visitors to step into a magical world of 180,000 shimmering lights this holiday season. With immersive storytelling, festive attractions, and a heartwarming atmosphere, the resort is a must-visit destination for families, adventure seekers, and those looking to embrace the festive spirit.

A Magical Welcome Through a Gateway of Lights

The experience begins the moment visitors pass through a life-sized, illuminated book, entering the enchanting world of Leni the forest elf. Known for her wish-granting magic, Leni has lost her powers to the Winter King. The story unfolds along a one-kilometer-long illuminated path, weaving through the resort’s expansive 200,000-square-meter grounds, where 180,000 LED lights create a sparkling wonderland.

Inspired by a visit to an Austrian-German Christmas market in the United States, resort owner Albert Schmidbauer brought this vision of light and magic to life, transforming the park into an otherworldly spectacle. The lights set the stage for Leni’s tale, told through excerpts on storyboards and accessible via QR codes. Visitors can even take the complete story home as a book.

At the end of the journey, the enchanting sea of lights leads to the story’s conclusion, where Leni faces the Winter King. Will she regain her magic? The tale and the glowing scenery captivate children and adults alike.

Highlights for the Whole Family

• The Wish Tree: A standout attraction, the Wish Tree allows children to pick a piece of paper, write down their dreams, and place it in a box. Some lucky wishes will even come true, adding a magical touch to the experience.
• Advent Market Under a Canopy of Lights: Set on a scenic hill within the park, the Advent market offers a festive atmosphere under a shimmering tent of lights. Every weekend until Christmas, visitors can enjoy live music, regional treats like punch and Pofesen, and stalls featuring handcrafted goods and Natternbach honey.
• Interactive Experiences: Children can engage in special activities, including wood carving workshops and demonstrations by a live farrier.

Adventure Awaits Beyond the Lights

For those seeking adventure, the illuminated dinosaur park is a hit with families. Life-sized replicas of creatures like Tyrannosaurus Rex make for an exciting prehistoric journey. Nearby, the Pirate Coast, bathed in magical lights, offers another realm of exploration. Indoors, the Miraculix Inn provides hearty meals and a 1,000-square-meter playground, complete with climbing walls and slides for endless fun.

Stay in the Heart of the Magic

Extend your visit with an overnight stay in one of the resort’s 23 tipi suites, perfect for cozying up amid nature, or a starry sky chalet, where guests can stargaze right from their beds. Both options provide a unique way to enjoy the resort’s serene atmosphere. For outdoor enthusiasts, camping facilities are also available.

Winter activities such as ice skating and curling add even more excitement to the experience. Additionally, one euro from every visitor’s ticket is donated to the SOS Children’s Village in Altmünster, spreading the joy of giving throughout the season.
