Autumn in Algund is a time for indulgence. When the vineyards around Algund shine in vibrant colors in autumn, it's still mild enough here to sit outside under the sun-drenched arbors of the inns. From the end of October, the Algund autumn naturally also includes the traditional autumn Törggelen in the Burgraviato area. After an adventurous day in the Algund mountains, when you've made yourself comfortable in a rustic "Buschenschank" (farmhouse tavern), you won't want to leave.
Törggelen has been a centuries-old custom in the Merano region and throughout South Tyrol. Wherever there is new wine, according to ancient tradition, after the wine pressing, the "Nuie" (new wine) and the "Suser" (new wine before fermentation) are solemnly tasted with good home-style cooking. This is accompanied by traditional South Tyrolean "Schlutzkrapfen" (half-moon shaped pasta), followed by smoked meat, homemade sausages with sauerkraut and dumplings, and afterwards tasty "Keschtn," the freshly roasted chestnuts.
