Welcome to the

KISIHOUSE

The KISIHOUSE has served as the headquarters of the KISI – God’s singing kids since 2016 and has become a much-loved “second home” for many.

a house for children
a house of joy
a place of encounter
a house of prayer
a place of peace and worship

This is where we work and where some of us live together in a small community. Our KISI meetings also take place here regularly.

………..

We welcome larger and smaller groups as well as individuals and families as guests here. There is a variety of possibilities: school country weeks, youth and confirmation weekends, singing weeks, youth group weeks, sports weeks, retreats, holidays, seminars, etc.

………..

The premises are used and appreciated for day seminars, birthday parties and even weddings. The KISIHOUSE can be rented for a day or for a whole week.

The KISIHOUSE “came to us from above” in 2016. How?

We’d love to tell you in person and preferably on site. But you can read the beginning of the story here.

Equipment

We create spaces for children to be, themselves provide them with training for life and pass on the Good News of hope through Jesus to them and with them, especially through songs and musicals. Every child should know and experience: “It’s good that you exist, there is so much in you, and it depends on you!”

The KISIHOUSE is also where the KISI employees work and where those who live together in a small community live. A specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry and psychotherapeutic medicine also has his surgery here.

Catering

The KISIHOUSE is basically a self-catering house. One large and/or two smaller kitchens are available. On request, we can provide breakfast and packed lunches, and in exceptional cases and by arrangement also other meals.

Activities in the
immediate vicinity

The KISIHOUSE is located in the heart of the Traunsee-Almtal vacation region. Many well-known excursion destinations in the Salzkammergut can be reached from here. Whether culture, nature, sport or gastronomy – there is something for everyone here! The nearby forest next to the Mühlbach stream or the Hochsteinalm are wonderful places to go for a walk. A bookable taxi connects the KISIHAUS with the “Josefsweg” pilgrimage route. The nearby riding stables offer the opportunity to experience the area on horseback. By the way: the public bathing area “Bräuwiese” on Lake Traunsee is just a 15-minute walk away. If you prefer to go higher, you can reach some mountains by car (Grasberg, Gmundnerberg), on foot (Traunstein, Sonnstein, …) or by cable car or e-bike (Grünberg, Feuerkogel).
