In the Pflersch Valley, where the air is clear and the meadows are full of life, true treasures of nature grow by the wayside: native wild herbs with great effects. If you stroll through the forests and alpine meadows, you will not only discover the beauty of the landscape, but also the variety of herbs whose scent, colours and powers have been appreciated for centuries.
Once a week - every Friday from June to September - visitors can gain an insight into traditional herbal knowledge on a leisurely herb hike in the Pflersch Valley under expert guidance. The easy tour leads through flower-filled meadows to the Botenhof, where you can marvel at rare alpine plants. However, the centrepiece of the tour is a visit to the herb manufactory, which is dedicated to refining regional herbs.
Here, high-quality organic products are created from hand-picked flowers and plant parts - with care and great attention to detail. In the manufactory, herbal expert Bernhard Auckenthaler processes the collected herbs into finely balanced tea blends, aromatic spices and natural care products. Everything is done by hand, sustainably and with respect for nature.
Visitors can look forward to a guided tasting: fragrant teas, flavoursome herbs, soothing ointments - everything can be tasted and discovered. If you like, you can also purchase the products directly on site - a special souvenir from the mountains and a piece of genuine Alpine nature to take home with you.
The Wipptal herb gardens - the Botenhof in Pflersch and the Steurerhof in Wiesen - stand for regional quality, traditional knowledge and modern enjoyment - a place where ancient knowledge of medicinal plants remains alive and can be experienced with all the senses.
