Newly revitalized old craft: discover saffron and mustard in Altenburger Land!

In an exciting journey of discovery through the Altenburger Land, Jonathan goes on a culinary tour that tickles the taste buds! With a refreshing aperitif from the Erler-Hof, which is also home to the excellent triller manufacturer, the foundation stone is laid for an unforgettable experience. A unique saffron liqueur is created here, which fits perfectly with the festive “Altenburg saffron light”. And the best? Safran has a long tradition in this region that is now reviving with great passion!

While Jonathan learns more about the cultivation of Safran on his special culinary city tour, he enjoys the delicious offers of the Altenburg mustard factory, where he even conjures up his very own mustard creation at a mustard tasting! As if that weren't already fascinating enough, he also visits the "culinary time travel" in Nohra. Here Michael Schüler conjures up exceptional products from historical recipes, including Cranach's paradise apple and Luther's evening tea!

The trip would not be completely without the legendary Thuringian beer! In the home port in Erfurt, Jonathan tries various types of beer with creative names such as Egon, Jack and Gabi. The fascinating highlight: he learns how the tires of the brewery are used for mushroom breeding, a truly innovative approach! And at the magnificent degree, it is accompanied by a fine wine - not simply in the restaurant, but during a happy rubber boat tour on the picturesque Saale, directly at the feet of the winer.

For all gourmets and adventurous, this Thuringian pleasure tour is an absolute must to discover the hidden tastes and aromas of the region!
