Lungau sheep roast

Having arrived in one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, we are not only looking forward to the colorful forests and beautiful weather, but also to variety in the kitchen. Our stomachs are especially happy when we delight them with homemade Lungau delicacies.

One of these culinary highlights should not be missed in autumn - the Lungauer Schöpserne (Schafbratl)!
