Accessibility Statement

The association Zauchensee aktiv is committed to making its websites www.zauchensee.com accessible in accordance with the Federal Law on Accessible Access to Websites and Mobile Applications of the Federal Government (Web Accessibility Act – WZG) BGBl. I No. 59/2019 as amended and the Federal Disability Equality Act (BGStG).

This accessibility statement applies to www.zauchensee.com.

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 work diligently to ensure this. Therefore, we are committed to implementing the necessary adjustments as best as possible and are continuously striving to integrate new Inhalte_lesen in an accessible manner.

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

This website complies with the conformance level AA of the “Guidelines for Accessible Web Content – WCAG 2.1” and 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 in most parts.

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 the best possible readability and adjusted for the respective display size. Furthermore, sufficient contrast was taken into account 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 meaningful titles

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 draft our texts largely without abbreviations and foreign words and avoid convoluted sentence structures. If a text is not comprehensible, we request feedback.
  Contrast issues: Occasionally occurring contrast issues are primarily limited to: cookie banners that overlay 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). For this content, a complete statement regarding compatibility with accessibility regulations cannot be made, as they are outside of our control.
  Legacy content: Retrofitting all existing content, especially older PDF documents and multimedia content, would pose a disproportionate burden.
• As an alternative contact option, please contact the respective accommodation establishments.

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

According to Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 and § 15 para. 2 WZG, certain requirements may be deviated from if their implementation is associated with disproportionate effort. In doing so, the legitimate economic interest of the website operator must also be taken into account.

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

The Zauchensee Aktiv Association places great importance on the continuous improvement of accessibility. The offers and services on this website are constantly being improved, exchanged, and expanded. We are particularly concerned about usability and accessibility.

If you notice barriers that prevent you from using our website – issues not described in this statement or deficiencies regarding compliance with accessibility requirements – we kindly ask you to inform us:
