Some people collect stamps – others collect special plants. The story of the garden surrounding Seegut Zeppelin begins in 1907, when the former textile manufacturer Gustav Gminder had a villa built on the shores of Lake Constance as a summer retreat. As far as we know, he was not fond of stamps, but exotic trees from all over the world – including a sequoia from California. And because the property has always been in careful hands over the years, we can still admire this diverse stock of trees today. And much more besides. Because the Fennel family is now respectfully continuing this legacy.

Watch a blade of grass in the wind, watch the sun over the mountains, listen to the birds chirping, look up at the sky, look up at the sky a little longer, breathe in, breathe out, breathe deeply. Nature grounds us, nature makes us calm, nature helps us to leave everyday life behind. In Puradies, we encounter nature in many different ways.
The OLM Nature Escape is definitely a building with a recognisable character.

We spoke to architect Andreas Gruber about his first hospitality project, which has been thoroughly thought through!
The circle closes at OLM, the round Eco Aparthotel in the South Tyrolean Taufer Valley. It all began with a millstone – now guests can expect a refined “Olm” character in harmony with nature.
