History
Stefan and Maria Leitner took a 394-square-metre plot from their parents in 1950 and opened a café on 1 July 1951. The guesthouse grew to 28 beds and later traded as the Sporthotel Leitner. Petra Herbst joined in 1986, Franz Josef Vogl in 1988, and the couple took the house over in 1992. On 20 April 1995 they reopened it as Hotel Schützenhof and ran it for about thirty years. Their son Franz-Dominik joined in 2017, his wife Denise in 2023, and after a renovation that began in September 2025 the house opened in June 2026 as Vogl's Nest, with 55 rooms.
