Sauerkraut and roast chestnuts

Known as the “fifth season” to the people of South Tyrol, for our guests this is the opportunity to partake of the most popular custom in the land: törggelen. This has its origins in the Eisacktal and can thus be enjoyed in its most original form in a Buschenschank (farmhouse inn) along the “Way of the Chestnuts” around Klausen, as well as at the Martscholerhof,www.martscholerhof.it our true native soil. From October to November, a gentle autumn stroll can be followed by a visit to a stube (inn parlour) to taste the “new” wine together with such delicacies as Schlutzkrapfen (pasta pockets), Geselchtes (smoked meat) with sauerkraut and roast chestnuts.
