Wild nature will take center stage on the plates

Under the umbrella title of the spring culinary journey “Wild Nature on a Plate,” participating inns and restaurants will feature dishes on their menus that are based on seasonal wild plants and other local ingredients characteristic of the spring season. This is a continuation of a shared initiative in which restaurateurs collaborate to promote indigenous ingredients, seasonal cuisine, and local gastronomic identity.

The project encourages collaboration among restaurateurs, the exchange of ideas, and the joint promotion of local cuisine, while offering visitors the opportunity to discover the rich flavors of our region throughout the seasons.
