Detailed Slow Trips – Experience Description

In this experience, you will be personally welcomed by the apple man Bernhard. From afar, you can already recognize the mystical figure in the unmistakable brown robe and the white and black spheres for voting. You will learn all about the history and legends of the apple men, but you must pay close attention; otherwise, your treasure hunt will not succeed. For only with much knowledge about the apple men will you find the treasure and reach the next station of the tour.

Their history along with the rules will fascinate you. In the Obsthof, the aforementioned spirit also resides in the oldest part of the newly renovated farmhouse. A hole stone adorns this cellar, marking the entrances to an underground cave system that may have led to the ruin of Waxenegg.

Now you too must become an apple man and use the spheres to decide which schnapps you will taste first.

As a conclusion, you can step into the farm shop and be enchanted by the scent of the fine spirits.
