Accessibility Statement

Accessibility is more than a matter of course for us – it is close to our hearts. We want our website to be easily usable for all people, and we are working diligently to ensure this. Therefore, we are doing everything possible to implement the necessary adjustments and are continuously striving to integrate new content in an accessible manner.

Our aim is to enable all website users – regardless of their individual needs – to have unrestricted access to our digital offerings.

This website complies with the conformity level AA of the "Guidelines for Accessible Web Content – WCAG 2.1" and is largely compliant with the applicable European standard EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (2021-03) according to the directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

We have already implemented the following measures to improve accessibility:

Responsive Web Design: Our website is optimized for various output devices (smartphone, tablet, desktop computer) due to responsive web design. The content elements are automatically optimized for best readability and adjusted to the respective display size. Additionally, sufficient contrast has been maintained in the design.

Keyboard Operation: The main menu can be operated using the keyboard (Tab key, arrow keys). Interactive elements are accessible and operable via keyboard.

Structuring and Semantics

• All pages have meaningful page titles
• The language of the page is declared in the markup
• The HTML markup used is standards-compliant
• Headings are hierarchically structured
• Links have descriptive names

Accessibility for Assistive Technologies

• Alternative texts for informative images
• Sufficient color contrasts
• Support for screen readers

The contents listed below are not accessible for the following reasons:

• Incompatibility with accessibility regulations
  Texts and comprehensibility: We strive to write our texts largely without abbreviations and foreign words and avoid convoluted sentence structures. If a text is not understandable, we ask for feedback.
  Contrast issues: Occasionally occurring contrast problems may be limited to: cookie banners that are overlaid on existing content and external content from third parties
  Multimedia content:  Not all videos have subtitles or audio descriptions. 
  PDF documents: Older PDF documents may not be fully accessible.
• Disproportionate burden
  Content from third parties: Our website partially uses content and services from third parties (e.g., online booking systems). A complete statement regarding compliance with accessibility regulations cannot be made for this content, as it is beyond our control.
  Legacy content: A subsequent complete adjustment of all existing content, especially older PDF documents and multimedia content, would represent a disproportionate burden.

We strive to implement the accessibility of this website to the best of our technical capabilities and legal requirements. Complete accessibility cannot be guaranteed, especially with complex or dynamic content as well as with the integration of external tools (e.g., booking systems, widgets, forms).

According to Art. 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 and § 15 Abs. 2 WZG, certain requirements may be deviated from if their implementation is associated with disproportionate effort. The legitimate economic interests of the website operator must also be considered.

We continuously review and improve accessibility, but we cannot provide a legally binding guarantee for a completely barrier-free implementation of all content.

Hotel die Barbara GmbH places great importance on the continuous improvement of accessibility. The offerings and services on this website are continuously improved, exchanged, and expanded. We are very concerned about usability and accessibility.

If you notice barriers that hinder you from using our website – problems that are not described in this statement, or deficiencies regarding compliance with accessibility requirements – we ask you to inform us about them:

In case of unsatisfactory responses from the above-mentioned contact option, you can file a complaint with the complaint office of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) with limited liability. The FFG accepts complaints electronically via the contact form of the complaint office.

To the complaint form of the FFG

The complaints will be checked by the FFG to see if they relate to violations of the Accessibility Act's requirements, particularly deficiencies in compliance with accessibility requirements, by the federal government or an institution attributable to it.

If the complaint is justified, the FFG must issue recommendations for action to the federal government or the affected legal entities and propose measures to eliminate the existing deficiencies.

With the coming into force of the Accessibility Act (BaFG) on June 28, 2025, those affected by violations of the accessibility requirements can contact the Social Ministry Service as the market surveillance authority.
