Passing by the ugly Czech-Austrian borders from Vyssi Brod to Studanky, you might be a bit…read moredisgusted by cheap Chinese mini-markets and brothels, but once you will get into Austria, a lovely piece of farmlands will be waiting for you, with a cozy historical town of Bad Leonfelden. And if you decide to turn right just one kilometer before the town, suddenly and surprisingly, you will appear in a very small and pretty nice ski resort of Bad Leonfelden - Sternstein. It is not a ski resort where you could spend the whole skiing week (unless you have really small kids, otherwise, you might get bored quickly), but for a one-day, half-day, or even a two-hour skiing, you could hardly find a more friendly place! The two-hour skiing pass costs 17 Euro and you could ski on the resort's three ski slopes, which are 1550 - 1850 meters long (red Slalomhang 1550 metres, blue Standardabfahrt 1600 metres, red-blue Lifthang + Familienabhfahrt 1850 metres), and take ten rounds in two hours! The trick of this resort is that it has so little skiers, that you could ski there as on the marry-go-round, yay! Just be careful to come when the ski conditions would not be ideal (the altitude is 814 - 1102 meters above sea level).
Summary in the Czech language: Jakmile prekonate hnusne hranicni pasmo Vyssi Brod-Studanky, ocitnete se v hezkem rakouskem pohranici, a brzy dojedete do malickeho lyzarskeho strediska Bad Leonfelded - Sternstein (814 - 1102 metru nad morem), ktere vas nadchne svymi sluzbami (dobre restaurace, parkoviste zdarmo, Detsky park Kralovstvi) i sjezdovkami, na kterych je velmi malo lyzaru. Ano, maji tu pouze tri sjezdovky (jednu cervenou a dve modre), ale pokud si koupite permici na dve hodiny (za 17 Euro), melo by se vam povest udelat tech sjedovek deset! Z Lipna zde budete za pul hodinky. Takze doporucuji vyzkouset.
