The story
Gasthaus im Kulturhof Stanggass delivers modern Bavarian cuisine in the quiet town of Bischofswiesen, reviving a historic tradition of Alpine hospitality. Visitors gather around a large handcrafted wooden table that seats twenty-five people, fostering conversation among locals and travelers alike. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame mountain views while diners settle into a relaxed setting designed for shared meals.
The culinary approach centers on grounded Bavarian and Austrian cooking that prioritizes short supply chains. Ingredients arrive from farms within a seventy-five kilometre radius, while the kitchen supplements deliveries with produce from its own high beds and greenhouse. Old apple and pear varieties thrive on nearby meadows, and four hives on the property provide honey for seasonal preparations. This hyperlocal model keeps the menu closely tied to the rhythm of the Alps.
Award-winning recognition from the Schlemmer Atlas reflects a commitment to environmental stewardship alongside everyday comfort food. The property operates on one hundred percent renewable energy generated by rooftop solar panels and a combined heat and power unit. Diners experience a modern take on classic inn dishes that shifts with the harvest, featuring freshly picked herbs and garden vegetables. The consistent focus on provenance ensures every plate supports the surrounding landscape.

History
Dine on modern inn-style cuisine while enjoying the view through the panoramic windows. For a truly traditional atmosphere, take your seat at the long communal table that accommodates 25 guests. What matters most is seasonality and vegetables grown on-site.
At the Gasthaus within the Stanggass Cultural Farm, the focus is on sourcing ingredients regionally within a radius of under 75 kilometers – such as fruit, vegetables, fish, and dairy products. Some fruits and vegetables are also grown on-site, and four of their own beehives supply honey. Electricity is provided 100% from renewable sources. A 650-square-meter photovoltaic system contributes to this and also supplies a portion of the required heating energy, with the remainder covered by a combined heat and power unit. Staff members benefit from family-friendly working hours, salaries that exceed collective agreement rates, at least 30 days of annual leave, and complimentary workplace meals.
