Gasthaus zur Waldschenke
Well-rated 3-star base in Zeltweg
About this hotel
Zeltweg is one of the Murtal valley's more central towns, sitting on the main road that links Judenburg, Spielberg and the rest of the region, and Gasthaus zur Waldschenke uses that position to offer families and groups a properly rated 3-star stay without the premium pricing of a bigger hotel. Race-day parking is included, so the practical basics are handled before you even arrive, and the 9.1 rating built from 114 reviews reflects a guesthouse that consistently delivers on what it promises rather than overselling itself. It suits fans who want a straightforward, reliable base in a well-connected town rather than a boutique experience or an isolated countryside retreat, and its central position makes onward trips into Judenburg or Spielberg for food and shopping genuinely easy.

Our take
Waldschenke stands out in Zeltweg for its 9.1 score from 114 guests, a strong result for a 3-star guesthouse. I would choose it for fans who want a small, well-reviewed base next to Spielberg, a short drive from the Red Bull Ring, with race-day parking. Its listing is brief on facilities, so it suits travellers who mostly need a good night's sleep between sessions.
- ✓Book race weekend dates early, since Zeltweg's central position and Waldschenke's strong rating make it a popular choice that fills months ahead.
- ✓Use Zeltweg's location to plan day trips into Judenburg or Spielberg, since both are an easy drive from this central valley base.
- ✓Confirm parking arrangements directly with the guesthouse ahead of race morning, since demand rises sharply during the Grand Prix weekend.
Why we love it

Why guests love itGasthaus zur Waldschenke is a 3-star guesthouse in Zeltweg, the town that neighbours Spielberg and the Red Bull Ring in Styria's Mur valley. Its 9.1 score across 114 reviews is among the strongest I have seen for the area, which is why I would shortlist it for a family race weekend. Race-day parking is available, and staying in Zeltweg keeps the drive to the circuit short. The listing gives few other details, so check room sizes for a family.
