Autumn time in Carinthia is long awaited goose time

A goose is part of Thanksgiving, the most important family celebration in America. Thanksgiving literally means thanksgiving and is the American harvest festival, but it is celebrated with the family - with a large evening meal. In Austria, Gansl is more closely associated with St. Martin.

When the inns smell of goose, chestnuts and red cabbage, then autumn takes on another wonderful note.

Goose season and game weeks have begun throughout the country and many events provide special culinary highlights in the fall. When pumpkin, mushrooms and other seasonal delicacies ripen, Carinthian innkeepers in all valleys serve up special menus.

Carinthian innkeepers once again offer particularly tasty goose menus. At Gasthof Zenkl, the tables are already set for the feast.

 "For our traditional goose menu, we rely on pasture-raised goose from the Adamitsch farm in Grafenstein. It's served with tasty bread dumplings, red cabbage and glazed chestnuts," say host Rudolf Tomaschitz-Türk and his son Marco, whose guests can also choose from an extensive wine list this year.

"We offer more than 40 different red wines from Austria and Italy alone, so everyone will find the perfect accompaniment to our Martinigansl menu. "
