A hearty Brotzeit board is part of every visit to Bavaria. It features sausage and cheese specialties, creamy Obatzda — a savory cheese spread — along with fresh farmhouse bread and crispy pretzels. And of course, a beer from one of the many regional breweries is a must.

In Bad Birnbach, numerous inns and beer gardens invite you to enjoy this rustic snack. It tastes best after a hike, when you stop in, stretch out your legs, and take your time.

A Bavarian breakfast without Weißwurst is no breakfast at all. This mild boiled sausage made from veal, pork back fat, and fine spices is heated in hot water and served with sweet mustard and freshly baked pretzels.

There is one rule, though: Weißwurst should not hear the church bells at noon, so it is eaten before 12 noon. Add a wheat beer on the side, and the tradition is complete. When you visit Bad Birnbach, try it the classic way and suck the sausage meat right out of the casing.

Schweinshaxe is the other face of Bavarian cuisine. It is roasted for hours until the crackling turns crisp while the meat stays juicy inside. It is served with potato dumplings and sauerkraut. It hardly gets more hearty than this — and after a long day outdoors, there is hardly anything better.

After so many savory dishes, something sweet is a must.

Kaiserschmarrn is the classic: a fluffy shredded pancake, dusted with powdered sugar and often served with applesauce. If you prefer something creamy, order Bavarian cream. And then there are Auszogne, deep-fried pastries that are best enjoyed fresh and still warm.

That leaves the question of what to drink. Bavaria is known for its wide variety of beers and for breweries that have honed their craft for generations. Whether you choose a refreshing Helles, a dark Bock beer, or a sparkling wheat beer, in and around Bad Birnbach you will find plenty of opportunities to taste your way through this diversity.

Bavarian cuisine is about more than food. It tells the story of a centuries-old culture and of a hospitality you can feel at the table right away. In Bad Birnbach, you can experience both firsthand.
