About Waldhütte am Guglzipf

Waldhütte am Guglzipf in Kleinfelderstraße in Berndorf is an excursion inn in the woods above the Triestingtal with home-style cooking, home-made sausages and pastries. Around the hut there is an observation tower, a playground, a woodland skittle alley and several hiking trails.

Who cooks here

The Maramara family has leased the Waldhütte since 1998. Much is made in-house: apple and Topfen strudel, Cremeschnitte and banana Gugelhupf, elderflower syrup and apple juice, plus Speck and Bernerwürstel. Käsekrainer, Debreziner, game bratwurst and sometimes Weißwürstel are only available when there is time and the ingredients are there; then they are written on the board. At lunchtime the kitchen cooks a set menu of the day every day.

• From the menu: Jägerkotelett with mushroom sauce, Blunzengröstl with sauerkraut, beef goulash with bread dumpling, cordon bleu
• Without meat: home-made Käsespätzle, fried dumplings with egg
• Something different: home-made spring rolls with rice and sweet and sour sauce
• To drink: Hirter Märzen on tap, Most with and without alcohol, home-made elderflower and nettle cordial, coffee from Segafredo

Good to know
