"Bergkrone" in the Gailtal valley

Alpine dairymaid reveals how alpine cheese is produced!

For many, Austria's Alpine pastures are a place of longing, but for others they are a workplace. "Anyone who works on a mountain pasture should be close to nature and must not be work-shy," says dairymaid Elisabeth Buchacher, who was allowed to look over the shoulder of the "Bergkrone" on the Watschiger Alm while making cheese.

Watschiger Alm? Never heard of it! But Nassfeld for sure. Because in the summer months, cows graze on the slopes of the largest ski area in Carinthia.
