Crispy & irresistible!
If you're still hungry for breakfast, you can treat yourself to a fresh pastry with your coffee. All you have to do is follow your nose - because the baker has brought his bread oven with him. There is usually already a lot of smoke coming out of the oven and it doesn't take long before the crusty loaves are taken out. So the hiking snack is guaranteed.
savory enjoyment
What goes well with fresh farmhouse bread? A spicy piece of mountain cheese and a hearty venison or chamois sausage, of course. You can get these from Herbert Edlinger, for example. You can taste the cheese and sausages from his rustic wood-shingled wagon. The finely sliced, dark red beef ham is also a highlight! Most of the products come from the Walser Buura, an association of farmers from Kleinwalsertal. In any case, it's easy to get chatting with Herbert and it's not uncommon for a taster of the hazelnut schnapps to be served - homemade, of course!
Honey directly from the bee whisperer
The beekeeper Achim Schneider from Schwende in Kleinwalsertal specializes in bees and honey. He manages his colonies with great joy and enthusiasm. Achim Schneider sits at the weekly market surrounded by a selection of Walser mountain blossom honey, forest creamed honey and propolis. In the meantime, he always has his bees in view via his bee livecam.
Treasures from the weekly market
Otherwise, you can browse through the other stalls at your leisure: there are beautiful wooden items, scarves, socks, great local handicrafts, schnapps and liqueurs, jams, sweets and herbs. And to stock up on vitamins for your vacation, you can also stock up on fruit and vegetables from Lake Constance and the surrounding area...
