In our mountain herb garden at almost 1400 metres above sea level, old and new knowledge about the recognition and use of wild aromatic and medicinal herbs comes alive again. 
Around 150 different, mainly native plant species thrive in our herb garden. 
In guided tours, the herb specialist teaches interested visitors the identification of wild herbs and their use in cooking and folk medicine. 
Our herbs are only fertilised and treated organically; due to the altitude, the plants develop high-quality secondary ingredients.
The herbs are air-dried on wooden shelves, placed in breathable sacks and only cut, mixed and bottled when needed. The blossoms are collected individually and gently dried so that the magnificent colours are preserved. Everything is handmade!

Approach

Through the Eisacktal/Valle Isarco valley to Klausen/Chiusa; turn into Villnöss/Funes valley  and drive to Ranui. After the traffic lights, follow the road for approx. 500 m to Zans. Turn left at the first bus stop.
