Everyday Culture in Upper Austria
The Upper Austrian Danube region thrives on its authentic inhabitants, who fully immerse themselves in their role as host. You’ll notice the welcoming atmosphere as soon as you enter a typical tavern or one of the cosy beer gardens.
But it’s not just the taverns and inns. Chocolatiers, confectioners, bakers, beekeepers, butchers, cheesemakers and many more use regional products to create both traditional and innovative culinary experiences. Many organic-certified farms and producers sell their products straight out of their shops — no middlemen necessary. From the vegetable growers who bring heirloom varieties back to life to the chefs who prepare regional dishes for their guests — the people appreciate traditions but are always open to innovation.
