Eveline (64) and Walter Eselböck (67) have been together for almost 50 years - not only as a couple, but also in their day-to-day work as restaurateurs. The two talk about their closeness and trust, their life's work Taubenkobel, injuries on "Dancing Stars" and their passion for Istria.

"Krone": When you got together, you were both still teenagers.
 EvelineEselböck: Yes, I was 15, Walter was 18, but we knew each other even in elementary school. We hit it off when I once helped out behind the bar at my father's disco. Walter came to us with a village beauty, but then he sent her home.
