Hearty, sweet, styrian!

Buschenschänke 

Along the East Styrian Roman Wine Route, you can enjoy the best wine and a delicious snack. Roast pork, smoked meat, dried sausages, bacon, smoked loin, fresh spread, delicious cheese and a portion of freshly grated horseradish are of course a must on the typical Brettljause. For those who prefer sour food, we recommend a sour plate with boiled beef, scarlet runner beans and regional soft cheese marinated with unique seed oil and apple cider vinegar.

The sweet Germspeise dessert is as much a part of the Buschenschank as the wine is of the Römerweinstraße. Poppy seed strudel, nut croissants or fresh doughnuts - our Buschenschänke really leave nothing to be desired in culinary terms.

And the best thing for families: many Buschenschänke have great children's playgrounds where the little ones can really let off steam - the waiting time for a good snack flies by!
