Picnic in St. Johann
Regional delicacy from the Salzburger Land
Regionality and conscious eating are becoming increasingly important in our society. We want to know what we eat, where it comes from and who is responsible for it. The St. Johann picnic basket, which has been available since summer 2019, combines exactly these components. Only products that have been produced directly by domestic manufacturers get selected for this basket. You will find everything in the basket, from sheep yoghurt to sausage and cheese to freshly-picked vegetables.
Spending time with your loved ones is the nicest thing ever. And no better way to enjoy a cozy summer day than by eating good food in beautiful nature with them. In summer in St. Johann, family, culinary delights and nature are best brought together around a picnic basket.
Make an appointment (at least 24 hours in advance) directly at the Tourist Office St. Johann in Salzburg and then pick up your basket filled with regional specialties at one of the three selected picnic basket partner companies. You can order your picnic basket for two or for four persons. On request, also only a vegetarian content is possible.
