Garden Eden and natural swimming pond: your paradise in Tux
1,000 m² of alpine flowers, mountain herbs and spring water in the Zillertal
The sun warms your back. Between your toes, soft grass tickles, and somewhere between lavender and wild thyme, a bumblebee is making its afternoon round.
Our Garden Eden at Hotel Eden is a favourite place of our regular guests. It spans 1,000 m² and is open from May to October. Out here, the boundaries between cultivated garden and wild mountain landscape blur. Your gaze wanders over bellflowers and gentian up to the glacier of the Tux Alps. All around the garden you’ll find loungers, chairs, and swings—some right by the pond, some under shady trees, others in the sun. Calm and relaxed, everything moves at a slower pace here. Pure, analog happiness gently settles in your heart.
The heart of this little paradise is our natural swimming pond, fed by the purest spring water from the Tux Valley—crystal clear and of drinking-water quality. Sometimes turquoise, sometimes emerald green, it shimmers in the sun. Look closely—can you see the dragonflies dancing over the water?

Alpine flower and herb garden: Gerlinde’s pride and joy
That everything here blooms, thrives, grows, and smells so wonderfully is thanks to Gerlinde. She tends and cares for every corner of this garden with great experience, patience, and dedication. Edelweiss and gentian grow closely together next to birch and fir trees. Gerlinde only plants what truly belongs at an altitude of 1,360 meters in the Zillertal Alps. Watering is done with collected rainwater. Alongside native alpine plants, Patrick’s kitchen herbs also grow here: rosemary, thyme, lavender, chives, and companions that go straight into the kitchen—and from there directly onto your plate.A shorter journey from garden to table is hardly possible.
