Some **delicacies** have a long past and still today one or the other custom is passed on from generation to generation. Like the **"Beugerl/Beigerl" during carnival**.

**After the work is done**, when the fresh hay is dry and stowed away in the barn, there are the so-called **"Einheigkrapfen"**, the main meal for the woodworkers, also called **"Holzknechtnockn"**.

For Christmas, the usual **veal sausage** is fried and **Grandma's vanilla croissants are served as dessert**.

On **Good Friday,** the Protestant holiday, the delicious **"Pofesen"** are eaten in the Inner Salzkammergut.

According to a legend, the real **"Kaiserschmarrn"** was cooked for the first time on a mountain pasture in Bad Goisern during the visit of the emperor.

So **special dishes characterize a special custom** ...all year round!
