This unusual hotel is located in Austria, on the outskirts of the town of Ottensheim in the federal state of Upper Austria, 11 km from Linz. All rooms of Das Park are arranged inside decorated fragments of sewage pipes made of concrete, and the weight of one such section is 9.5 tons.
The area of each room does not exceed two square meters, on which there is a comfortable double bed, a nightstand and a table lamp. It has electricity and a vent like a skylight.

Excellent insulation is provided by the concrete walls, which keep the inside of the chimney cool in the heat and retain heat in the fall and spring. The hotel is only open from May to October, so rooms must be booked in advance.

The back walls of the lodges are decorated with drawings by Austrian artist Thomas Lacel Ochoa, which bring some variety to the monochrome interior of the chimneys converted into living quarters.
Das Park Hotel was “built” in 2004 in the city of Linz by architect Andreas Strauss, but a few years later the lodges were moved to the town of Ottensheim, and now its permanent location is Rodlpark on the picturesque banks of the Danube.

The creators of this unique hotel emphasize that the project Das Park Hotel - non-commercial, and tourists pay for the time of stay in it at the end of the vacation, leaving as much as they consider sufficient for such living conditions.

According to statistics, tourists pay 50 euros per day, and the maximum period for which they stay is three days.

There are no amenities and water in the rooms, but toilets and showers are located in the building next to the hotel, where there is also a small pool - for a fee.

There are cafes and bars located in the grounds of the local castle. It is strictly forbidden to build fires in the park area, but picnic lovers can spread a tablecloth and have a feast in any place they like.
