A deliciously gmahde mountain meadows

In the impressive natural scenery of the Limestone Alps, we get active with our own hands: we go in search of the biodiversity and colors of nature and try mowing with a scythe. We also make homemade butter, which is refined with collected wild herbs into aromatic Kalkalpen herb butter and enjoyed with hearty farmhouse bread.

The Schweizersberg, the place where this natural spectacle takes place, offers a magnificent view of the valley between the Sensengebirge in the Kalkalpen National Park and the impressive Warscheneck. Against this backdrop, participants are invited to actively explore nature. In search of the special features of nature, we are encouraged to look, marvel and observe and learn about the colorful diversity of plants and animals. The subsequent gathering of wild herbs offers a delicious foretaste of the culinary delights to come. After discovering the secret of how grass turns into milk, we churn our own butter in a jar, which is refined with the collected wild herbs to make aromatic lime alpine herb butter and tasted with home-baked wood-fired farmhouse bread. Mowing with a scythe is an almost forgotten art that anyone who wants to can try. Incidentally, the village is home to the only scythe factory in Upper Austria, where scythes have been produced for over 500 years. The view of "a gmahde Bergwiesn" and the homemade herb butter will stay with us all for a long time to come!
