Since then, knowledge about the diverse uses and processing of herbs has been passed on to visitors in guided tours, seminars, and lectures. On lovingly designed circular trails, guests can discover the numerous garden and herb stations, which provide a fascinating insight into the plant world of the Upper Carinthian mountain village.
Here, the tasty, fragrant, and healing plants are used to create aromatic delicacies and soothing natural products. No wonder Irschen is one of the first Slow Food Villages in the world. In the Kräuterpfarrstadel (herb barn), you can taste and purchase delicacies from the region: teas, jams, herbal salts, cosmetics, scented pillows, schnapps, cookies, and much more—all made by over 80 local producers.
