Snack

Demand for our organ tour has been high, so we have increased the number of places available to accommodate everyone who is interested.

However, there is limited space for lunch at Berggasthof König in Pöllauberg, and all the available menu options have already been sold.

As an alternative, we can provide you with a snack pack from the farm shop in Pöllau for your lunch break. This will consist of:

1 vegetarian filled sandwich
1 yeast dish
1 piece of fruit (apple or similar).
1 bottle of deer pear juice (0.3 l)

The snack will be wrapped in a tea towel, which can be used as an underlay or napkin.

If the weather is fine, you can enjoy the marvellous panorama in Pöllauberg while having your snack. If it rains, you can eat your snack on the coach.

You can book your snack package online in our webshop or at the ticket office.
