Salt Of The Earth
National Geographic Traveller (UK)|Salzburgerland 2018

Salzburgerland is establishing itself as a food destination through its excellent organic produce, world-class chefs and unique ‘culinary pathways’.

Salt Of The Earth

Hermann Oberreiter, Restaurant Hoagascht’s owner and head chef, doesn’t shout about his cuisine; if anything, he sells himself short. The stickers heralding eight consecutive years of Falstaff Awards are slapped higgledy-piggledy on the front door of this former cow shed, now every inch an alpine lodge.

On a roadside lay-by in the Austrian village of Flachau, the restaurant is on the ‘Culinary Pathway for Meat Lovers’ — part of the Via Culinaria, a network of routes stretching across Salzburgerland that includes 260 foodie experiences. Children whoop as they hurtle down the slide that winds from the elevated beer garden into, rather oddly, the car park. “Welcome to Paradise,” reads a chalk-written sign beneath a cow’s skull on the wall.

“You have to give people what they expect,” says Hermann, sitting next to me on his unassuming terrace, giving me a wry smile as I eye a starter that I certainly hadn’t expected.

A pair of handmade spring rolls perch atop two delicate piles, one of grated carrot in a ginger sauce, the other of creamy ribbons of cucumber. Adorning a narrow rectangular plate between sweeping sauce strokes, the dish looks like a calligraphied Asian banner, with tiny dollops of wasabi and concentrated satay as little punctuation points.

“When I started this restaurant 18 years ago, everyone in Flachau said, ‘You’re crazy! Nobody will eat this food. Full stop’,” laughs Hermann. “We opened and were fully booked every night, but not with people from Flachau. It took another five years for the locals to start coming.”

MALDIVES

An archipelago of 1,192 coral islands and 26 turquoise atolls looping across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is home to resorts that cater to every imaginable taste, from barefoot escapes to designer digs. The most convenient to reach are located in the South Malé, North Malé and Vaavu atolls, within speedboat distance of Velana International Airport, while more remote atolls are accessible by seaplane or domestic flight. With easy access to the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Baa and Raa are especially popular. Those around the Equator, including Gaafu Alifu, offer a splendid sense of isolation, abundant marine life and brilliantly starry night skies.
