Culinary Calendar
We love the seasons. Because each one brings its own colors. Its scents. Its stories. And its very special ingredients.
That’s why our specialty weeks don’t follow just any trends, but rather the rhythm of nature: the first wild garlic in the forest; game from our local woods; and goose, as autumn slowly winds down.
For us, “Cook the Gart’l” means exactly that: taking a look at what’s available right now. Being patient. Harvesting when the time is right. And using those ingredients to create dishes that taste like the season.
Lamb & Wild Garlic Around Easter
Lamb & Wild Garlic Around Easter
Around Easter
At some point, it's there—that scent. Of damp forest floor. Of fresh greenery. Of spring.
Around Easter, wild garlic sprouts in the forests around Kirchberg. Paired with the Bauer family’s lamb, it creates one of those combinations we look forward to all over again every year. Because that’s just what spring tastes like.
Wildlife Weeks in September & October
Wildlife Weeks in September & October
Mid-September through late October
Morning fog hangs over the meadows. The forests glow in shades of gold and copper. And outside, it’s slowly getting quieter.
Now is the season for game. A time for rich flavors. For mushrooms, herbs, and berries. For dishes that tell the story of the forest and the meadow. And of our appreciation for what nature gives us.
Goose Days in November
Goose Days in November
Early November
The last leaves are falling. The days are getting shorter. It’s getting warm inside. It’s time for traditions we love to repeat.
Our Goose Days have been a staple of Molzbachhof for many years. Featuring organic pasture-raised geese from the Grundtner family in Kirchschlag. With plenty of time. With great care. And with the wonderful feeling of being exactly where you want to be.
Events
Some moments of pleasure follow the changing seasons. Others tell their own unique story.
Our events invite you to come together. A concert at the Paradiesgart'l. Regional markets. Gatherings as part of JRE Austria. People sitting together at tables. Chatting. Enjoying themselves. Celebrating the moment. Not dictated by the seasons, but by the joy of sharing pleasure, encounters, and beautiful moments with one another. For one evening. And often long beyond that.

Indulgence Meets a Slower Pace
Molzbachhof
Some come for the tavern. Others come for the culinary delights. Many stay longer—because the Molzbachhof is Molzbachhof than just a place for good food.Â
At the tavern , we celebrate Austrian tavern culture. With regional products. Seasonal dishes. Authentic cuisine. And the kind of hospitality that makes people want to linger at the table a little longer. At Gaumenkitzel , we follow our “Cook the Gart’l” philosophy. Creative menus are crafted from the region’s treasures. Modern Austrian gourmet cuisine. Fine dining with character. Moments of indulgence that linger in your memory. As a member of Jeunes Restaurateurs (JRE) Austria, we’re part of a network of chefs who share a passion for quality, regional ingredients, and authentic culinary artistry.
And all around? The tranquility of the forest. Nature. Time. Our family-run wellness and nature hotel is a retreat in the heart of the Wechsel region. Solid-wood rooms made from “moon wood.” The “Paradiesgart’l.” The natural swimming pond. The Adults-Only Spa. A place of power for natural wellness, sustainable relaxation, and a break from everyday life.
Our tip: Stay overnight. Combine your culinary experience with a vacation at the Molzbachhof Nature and Wellness Hotel. That way, a special evening turns into a little getaway. And your anticipation turns into a whole weekend.
