The taste of Spring in Salzkammergut

Come with us on a culinary journey through the Salzkammergut at the beginning of spring. Delicious delicacies and specialties await you in each of the eight regions - from Reinanke to Zaunerstollen. At the Genussfrühling SALZ IN DER SUPPE we invite you to immerse yourself in the world of salt and water and experience the Salzkammergut with all your senses!

Regional und authentic

The clear lakes of the Salzkammergut not only offer boundless swimming pleasure, but are also home to delicate fish. For example, those of the Aussee char. And at Wolfgangsee, the wild-caught fish is even canned. Another world-famous specialty comes from the imperial town of Bad Ischl - the Zaunerstollen. A chocolaty delicacy that you should definitely try. The region Traunsee-Almtal invites to the Felix -Wirtshausfestival. There are also many culinary highlights to discover in the regions of Fuschlsee and Mondsee, and we share a favorite recipe for springtime wild garlic dumplings from the Rathluckenhütte in the Dachstein Salzkammergut region.

Our Recipe from the Dachstein-Region:

Bärlauchknödel

When the garlic-smelling leaves sprout from the earth, it's wild garlic season again. The green leaves are versatile and very healthy. Melanie Gschwandtner from the Rathlucken Hut shares her recipe for Bärlauchknödel with us.
