Coinciding with Oktoberfest it is always well attended from not only Breitenau but from as far away as Vienna where people come to enjoy the food, music and friendship ...
The band played all kinds if great to tapping Austrian music and really got the crowd stirred up ... fans standing on benches and clapping wi
ldly ...
Two of our friends Mandy and Gunter Kwas enjoying a cool beverage and the great tunes!
Franz and Finny Sindlhofer, owners of the Breitenau Gasthaus Gemuetlichkeit sat at the extra special table for the "who turned 60 this year" table and were able to enjoy the festivities instead of serving ......
Then the food started coming .... schnitzels and wursts of all types ... YUMMO!
The music club, cooked and served as well as keeping the crowds entertained ....
Even the "burgermeister" of Breitenau (mayor) got into the swing of things and pitched right in to make sure things ran smoothly ...
These two cute young ladies were really the "stars" of the whole affair ... I don't know their actual job description in the German language, but I dubbed them the "schnappsie" girls. They came table to the table and offered up some of the best high octane schnapps from that little wooden barrel. Served in tiny pewter schnapps shot glasses ... they waited for you to give the glass back ... I tend to sip on my schnapps, but I was encouraged to just "chug" YIKES ... talk about bringing tears to your eyes! I'm not sure if I was crying from the "burn" or it was just so darn good!
This was a terrific fall afternoon just south of Vienna in the small village of Breitenau Austria. The sky was bright blue, the sun was shining and the air crisp. Perfect for the days activities. Another wine food pairing experience. CHEERS!
