Versatile in use on breakfast bread, for sweetening fresh mountain herbal tea or yet as the basis for entire menus - mountain honey is a true secret weapon in Kleinwalsertal cuisine. In Riezlern in Kleinwalsertal, district Zwerwald, Jürgen Scharnagl - restaurateur, cook, hunter and beekeeper - runs his small hobby apiary.

In his apiary you will find honey from mountain blossoms, dandelion, alpine roses or from the forest. Collected by his own bees and processed by hand - the ideal souvenir from your Kleinwalsertal vacation.
