Autumn holiday in South Tyrol come for the Törggelen in the Eisack valley
South Tyrolean tradition as delicacy
The tradition of the Törggelen goes back to the so-called “Torggeln”. These are wooden rotary wine presses, which had to be operated with great effort. In order to thank all our helpers, our South Tyrolean wine-growers invited their assistants, neighbors and friends to their home after the harvest, and presented them with hearty specialties and, of course, grape must and young wine. This has not changed much to the present day, except that our Törggelen is by no means only celebrated in a private setting, but in many wine taverns, farms and restaurants like ours in the Eisack Valley and even to the Puster valley and the Dolomites.
Along the Keschtnweg through the Eisack valley
During your autumn holiday in South Tyrol, you can start for Törggelen hikes and stop at the edge of the path, where you will be seduced by a glass of South Tyrolean wine. At the center of Törggelen are the roasted chestnuts (Keschtn). On the Keschtnweg from the Neustift Monastery near Brixen to the Runkelstein Castle near Bozen, there is a legendary hiking route, along which you can get from one chestnut to the next – and under the colorful colored canopy you will surely get hunger for something hearty. And many other routes will take you to the Törggelen with its tasty Schlutzkrapfen, dumplings or bacon dishes.
Guided autumn hikes
In the golden autumn, during the Törggele time, we invite our guests to a common hike to the famous “Keschtnweg”. Along this path there are not only old traditions, but also works of fine chestnut wood to admire. You can also taste some of the traditional Törggelen delicacies, which you can also buy.
