Country Delights



Contentment, quality, and freshness, coupled with fresh air and, last but not least, warm people – all of this awaits you. Tasty delicacies directly from the producers, small distilleries or cheese-makers, dairies, and farm cafés; and, of course, there is even more on offer from your hosts.  

Whether you are taking an extended vacation in the countryside or a spontaneous short trip, you can discover undreamt-of, delicious, and traditionally-manufactured products. Spend at least one evening in a small hotel with seasonal and regional cuisine. Try fresh bread from the wood stove, a fine glass of wine, or an unusual variety of cheese. Also, traditional handiworks and crafts have their own special charms, whether these are handmade clothing or something to adorn the house and yard.

 

Signs of Natural Authenticity



It’s hard to believe, but the majority of our daily food is still manufactured, as it was before, far from the cities and factories out in the countryside, often following age-old recipes which have been passed on from generation to generation.

In particular, there are many specialties retained by rural custom, and the landscape and people are a part of the pleasure in these specialties. A part of identity thus moves in the truest sense of the word from the hand to the mouth.
