If you don't live out here, chances are you will never know about this place. However having a friend in a nearby village was key for me. We took an early drive through the mountains, through a one car width toll road, and then ended up in the secluded valley of Schönenbach No your cell phones dont work out here and folks that are here dont want to be found. However they have a lively pub that also sells really good food. One of the most traditional dishes of this area are Käsknöpfle, which are dumplings made with a combo of local Alpine cheeses, flour/water dough, and fried onions. Of course my friend knew all the good stuff, so we got a local sausage/cheese salad with vinaigrette, a few local cheeses, and we were set. Holy fuck was this good, and I had just eaten not too long ago. The vinaigrette was great with the salad, the local cheeses and the bread! I couldnt stop eating... So in the chance that you happen to be in the Alps bordering Switzerland and Germany in Austria, see if you can find this place. It's well worth it. read more
