Declaration on accessibility

We endeavor to make our website accessible in accordance with the Accessibility Act as amended to implement the European Accessibility Directive (EU) RL 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements of products and services.
This declaration on accessibility applies to www.haldenhof.at 

Note: This accessibility statement relates exclusively to our website. It makes no statement about the structural accessibility of our premises.

Status of compliance with the requirements

This website is partially compliant with conformance level AA of the “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - WCAG 2.2” or with the applicable European Standard EN 301 549 due to the following incompatibilities and/or exceptions.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not yet accessible for the following reasons:


a)    Incompatibility with accessibility regulations

1.1.1 - This success criterion is currently not fully met, as the website contains a large number of images that still lack alternative descriptions. We are constantly working on adding these captions.
1.3.1 - Some visually highlighted text areas are not programmatically marked as headings. The heading structure is being optimized step by step.
1.3.3 - Individual links or buttons are only differentiated by color, which means that the success criterion is not met.
1.3.5 - Some form fields - especially in the contact form - do not contain “autocomplete” attributes and therefore do not fulfill the criterion.
1.4.1 - Links, for example in continuous text or the navigation, are sometimes only highlighted in color. The success criterion is therefore not met.
1.4.3 - Some texts and graphic elements do not meet the required contrast ratios. Optimization is planned.
1.4.5 - Images with text content or badges are used that have no textual alternative.
2.2.2 - Some videos do not have controls for pausing or ending.
2.4.1 - Skip links to skip recurring content are not available.
2.4.3 - The order of keyboard navigation is sometimes illogical or gets lost when closing elements.2.4.4 - Some links and buttons are not sufficiently described and therefore not clearly identifiable for screen readers.
2.4.6 - Headings and form elements are not always named clearly or descriptively.
2.4.7 - The focus display for keyboard navigation is not always visible.
2.5.3 - In some cases, visible labels of operating elements are missing, which are reflected in the accessible name.
2.5.8 - Some buttons or clickable elements are smaller than the recommended minimum size of 24 x 24 pixels.
3.3.1 - Incorrect inputs are not clearly recognized or described as such.
3.3.2 - Form elements are not consistently labeled or explained.
3.3.3 - No specific instructions are given for correcting errors.
3.3.4 - Important data entries cannot be checked or undone before sending.
3.3.7 - Users sometimes have to enter the same information multiple times.
3.3.8 - Forms contain CAPTCHA queries that are not accessible.
4.1.2 - Not all buttons or interactive elements communicate their status (e.g. expanded or selected) correctly programmatically.
4.1.3 - Changes such as progress indicators or errors are not automatically communicated to assistive technologies.

b)    Disproportionate load

1.2.1 - Embedded videos are hosted and published on the YouTube platform. No transcripts or content descriptions are currently available for some of these videos. (Hotel videos, TVB Vorarlberg, Stephan Schwarzmann, marlenesleben, Bluatschink)
1.2.2 - Some embedded YouTube videos do not have subtitles, making important content inaccessible to deaf users. The success criterion is therefore not met (hotel videos, TVB Vorarlberg, Stephan Schwarzmann, marlenesleben, Bluatschink)
1.2.3 - Audio descriptions cannot currently be offered for certain embedded YouTube videos (hotel videos, TVB Vorarlberg, Stephan Schwarzmann, marlenesleben, Bluatschink)
1.2.4 - Live videos are integrated via third-party providers. Subtitles are not available in all cases. In addition, live videos are excluded in accordance with Directive (EU) 2016/2102.
1.2.5 - Audio descriptions are not available for some embedded videos. (Hotel videos, TVB Vorarlberg, Stephan Schwarzmann, marlenesleben, Bluatschink)

We are of the opinion that remedying this would represent a disproportionate burden in terms of accessibility regulations. 

c)    The content does not fall within the scope of the applicable legal provisions

Older documents and content that are not accessible are available on the website. As these were published before 28.06.2025, they are exempt from the Accessibility Act and no comprehensive change is currently planned for them.


The website contains documents and content from third-party providers that are neither developed, financed nor controlled by us. No statement can be made regarding the compatibility of this third-party content with the accessibility provisions and it is therefore also exempt from the requirements of the Accessibility Act.
