A recipe that has been passed down for generations
The recipe has been preserved to this day at the Kirchenwirt in Maria Schutz. This is where the famous Klosterkrapfen are made - fluffy yeast dough doughnuts that are known far beyond the region.
In the small Klosterkrapfenkuch'l, the doughnuts are baked right in front of the guests - according to an oral recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation. Depending on your taste, you can enjoy the golden-brown doughnuts filled with apricot jam, nougat or vanilla cream - a craft that you can see, smell and taste.
Cuisine with a view
The Kirchenwirt is located at the foot of the Sonnwendstein, right next to the Basilica of Maria Schutz - a place where pilgrims and hikers have been stopping for centuries. Anyone stopping here after a hike or a quiet prayer will be greeted by the aroma of freshly baked doughnuts. Add a cup of coffee and a view of the surrounding mountains - and the moment is all yours. The Klosterkrapfen taste best fresh, but are also wonderful to wrap up and enjoy at home.
