Austrian/German food

Although the Adlerweg is entirely in Austria, many refuges are operated by German AV sections and some can only be supplied from the north (Bavarian) side of the mountains. The food and beverages you will encounter will thus be a mix of Tyrolean and Bavarian cuisine.

Refuges usually offer two choices of breakfast (fruhstuck): simple continental (bread, butter, jam and tea/coffee) or a larger version that includes these dishes plus cold meats and cheese. Boiled eggs may be available and sometimes fruit juice and breakfast cereals. In refuges, breakfast usually starts from 0700.

Lunch (mittagessen) from 1200 is the main meal of an Austrian day, although walkers often choose a lighter lunch, with the main meal in the evening. A typical Austrian snack, which may be taken from mid-morning until mid-afternoon, is a jause, a thick slice of bread topped with cheese (kase) or ham (schinken). A more substantial version consisting of a selection of meats or cheeses and bread (rather like a Ploughman’s lunch) is served on a wooden platter and known as a brettjause. Plates of sausages and mustard (wurst mit senf) served with bread (brot) or bowls of goulash soup (beef stew flavoured with paprika) are widely available lunch snacks. Other soups include clear broths with strips of pancake, and cream soups such as knoblauch (garlic) or zweibel (onion).
