Pleasure takes time
media_content.tooltip.skipped
It is not only the high quality of the regional specialties that attracts guests to Carinthia's idyllic regions of Gailtal, Lesachtal, Gitschtal and to Lake Weissensee - it is also the longing for the original and genuine. And this becomes palpable when you watch people at work or help out yourself and thus get up close with traditional crafts : baking bread and brewing beer, making cheese or producing honey.
This active participation is not only fun, but is also important, because participants learn about the importance of high-quality, sustainably and fairly produced food. Regionality, living and cultivating values, loving devotion and paying attention to the simplicity of nature - that is Slow Food. But it is also a particularly sensual experience of pleasure. What guests take away are great encounters and a deep impression of how enriching a mindful approach to food and nature in general can be.

The bread with stories
Lesachtal bread making has been designated an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO; the grain for the bread is still ground in old mills. Those who taste the bread from the Lesach Valley and "taste" its ingredients with every bite are taking their palate on a journey: up to heights of up to 1,427 m / 4,680 ft, where the grain grows and is harvested in pure nature, and then down to Maria Luggau, where the five water mills are located at 1,179 m / 5,870 ft, where the grain is ground for the bakers in the valley. Their ovens produce the rich, fruity, precious and award-winning bread.
There are also special Slow Food Travel experiences around Lesachtal bread:
