Fine dining restaurants
19 Gault&Millau ‘Hauben’ and 16 Falstaff ‘Gabeln’, spread across seven restaurants in Hochsteiermark, that is quite something. However, good things take time. That's why in selected restaurants, slow food is on the programme instead of fast cuisine. The result is delicacies such as ‘venison heart with sliced goose liver’ or ‘matjes from the Pretulsaibling with nasturtium’. Perfect service and warm hospitality go naturally without saying.
Styrian inn
Tradition has its place: welcoming innkeepers serve home-style cooking that has stood the test of time. Where else can you feel genuine Hochsteiermark culture better than where the locals meet? Let the landlord tell you about local folklore while he serves you a dish that generations before you have already enjoyed. Relax to the sound of folk music and savour the ambience of the tried and tested.
Alpine Huts
Be spoiled with a traditional Brettljause and a cup of hot tea. Or would you prefer a coffee and a slice of freshly baked cake – or perhaps a serving of Fedlkoch? In the rustic alpine huts of the Hochsteiermark, tradition and warm hospitality come first. Inside, the fire crackles; outside, the winter landscape sparkles – snow-covered forests, white valleys, and crisp mountain air create an atmosphere of pure comfort. After a winter hike, this cozy stop is truly well deserved.
