Discovering origins

The little villages of Laurein, St. Felix, Unser Liebe Frau im Walde and Proveis captivate tourists with their mountain village atmosphere. Ultental valley has kept its original nature up until today, too. The old paired farmhouses at St. Pankraz, St. Walburg, Kuppelwies, St. Nikolaus and St. Gertraud are typical features. These have a characteristic block shape, shingle-covered roofs with stones on top to weigh them down. Lots of mountain farmers farm their land by hand. Staying on a Farm Holiday in Ultental valley or on Deutschnonsberg means having the chance to feel involved in old traditions and customs surrounding rural culture. Most farms keep cattle and the cows are still called by their names. The festival to mark the cattle being driven down from the mountains after the summer, or 'Almabtrieb', has everyone on their feet. The cows are adorned with bells and wreathes as they make their way down to the valley. The extent to which people around here take old customs seriously becomes particularly clear on festivals such as these, when the whole village turns out in traditional costume.
The old tradition of herb farming has made a comeback here, too. Over 120 different medicinal and culinary herbs thrive in the Alpine climate. There are five families growing organic herbs in Ultental valley and on Deutschnonsberg. They are all harvested by hand and processed. Lots of farmers sell eggs and other own produce in their small farm shops. A visit to a rural farm inn is well worth it on a holiday in Ultental valley and on Deutschnonsberg. Farm culinary fare such as mountain cheese and 'Speck', smoked sausage and fruit juice taste especially good in a traditional farm parlour, or 'Stube'.
Culinary highlights
A Farm Holiday in Ultental valley - Deutschnonsberg has several surprises in store in culinary terms. Along with the traditional dishes served all year round, there are special culinary weeks. Every year, chefs conjure up lamb dishes during the 'Ultner Lammwochen' lamb weeks, while poppy seed 'Krapfen' pastries and apple strudel form part of Ultental valley cooking. Deutschnonsberg reveals its proximity to Italian cooking with radicchio farming and grana cheese production. There is one thing that both areas have in common: dandelions, one of the oldest meadow herbs. The locals have dedicated a week to this plant, with participating restaurants whipping up delicious dishes made from dandelion leaves, roots and flowers. Meat-eaters would do well to take advantage of dishes made from 'Laugenrind' beef on a holiday in Ultental valley or on Deutschnonsberg. This high quality meat comes from young cattle and calves from South Tyrolean mountain farms in Deutschnonsberg, Ultental valley and Vinschgau and is produced under strict guidelines. Genuine 'Laugenrind' has to have been born at the foot of the Laugen mountain and spend the summer on mountain pastures.
