It is common, especially in tourist regions, for old buildings no longer fulfilling any other purpose to be let to tourists. Farmhouses become holiday homes, for example. This typical development was also the case for the Steinbichl house. It was let as a weekend residence from 1970 to 1990 but no longer inhabited regularly. During this time, it was the tenant who carried out repairs and small alterations, finding unconventional solutions for more comfort with imagination and the simplest of means: The lavatory was moved from the shed to the inside of the house and a shower was installed in the outhouse.
