A Hands‑On Evening in Ohlstadt: Village Walk, Pretzels and Jägerschnitzel.
In the village of Ohlstadt, just at the entrance to the Alps, a family opens their home for a compact culinary course that pairs local history with practical kitchen time. Participants join a short guided walk through village life and the region's whetstone production, then return to learn how to make pretzels, Obatzda cheese and a full Jägerschnitzel meal, finishing with snacks, drinks and a schnapps before being brought back to the train station with memories to take home.
