Fabulous Hikes to Alpine Tarns General Information
Each of the huts we present has its own little “secret.” This might
be some cultural treasure passed down through the generations of the
same family, a unique craft, or a service, such as perhaps a Kneipp spa
dedicated to your good health. Nutritious, delicious country fare and
the best of farmhouse cooking is always at the top of the list. Traditional
Lungau dishes include homemade doughnuts, dumplings, (unsweetened
pastry), bacon, and cheese. Of the various thirst-quenchers,
buttermilk with native , the name for lingonberries here in the Lungau,
has become particularly popular. The culinary highlight of any hike
in the Lungau is undoubtedly, referred to by the experts as “Lungau
marzipan.” We are more than happy to share the recipe, but be forewarned,
only up at an alpine hut does it ever taste quite so heavenly. Let
us simply say, if there were ever an excuse for ignoring your daily calorie
count, is definitely it.
Lungauer Rahmkoch –
“Lungau Marzipan”
Ingredients: ½ kg butter, ½ kg of granular flour, ¼ l cream, 180 g sugar,
cinnamon, anise, raisins, rum
Directions: Melt the butter. Mix the sweetened cream into the flour
and then stir the mixture into the melted butter. (Important: don’t let
the butter get too hot!) Allow the mixture to simmer for 30 minutes,
stirring continuously, until this so-called “Koch” falls from the spoon.
Add sugar, cinnamon, anise, raisins and rum to taste. Pour the mixture
into an oblong mold and keep in a cold place for about 12 hours.
The tours described here do assume that you enjoy extended walks
and that you are essentially in good physical condition with average
stamina. The trails’ descriptions are intended to give you an accurate
sense of their physical demands. Recklessness is something we advise
strongly against, since the mountain world doesn’t tolerate foolishness
lightly. Our information section also gives you some important tips and
lists essential telephone numbers.
In conclusion, the Lungau Holiday Region wishes to thank
• Dr. Gertraud Steiner for authoring the editorial texts,
• Mr. Peter Bayr for his descriptions of the alpine hut and lake routes,
as well as for compiling cartographical materials,
• Mr. Hannes Modl for his descriptions of the alpine hut and lake
routes, as well as for his wealth of ideas during the creative and
realization process, and also
• all of the owners, managers and staff of our region’s alpine huts.
Without their support and dedication, it would not have been possible
to produce this brochure.
