    The herb farm “Hauser” is a Puster Valley mountain farm located in the small village of Wielenberg. At an altitude of 1,150 meters, Josef and Brunhilde have been cultivating various herbs in a sunny location since 1997. These herbs are processed into essential oils, teas, spirits, or cosmetics.

    The Grado specialities are full of flavours and culinary tradition that are passed on from one generation to the next – with freshly caught fish, wine and typical white asparagus. And don’t forget: the Santonego – a high quality grappa.

    In my bag I have a surprise for leisure cyclists – a regional snack and a good Styrian wine. I won’t say when and where I show up with my picnic hamper.
