Bread Baking at the Mallnitz Stockmühlen – Fresh Wood-Fired Bread for Your Summer Vacation 2026

19 June, 202619 June, 2026in Food and Drinks, Autumn, Events, Spring, Summer, Tradition and Culture by Florian Hohenberger

When the wood-fired oven is lit early Friday morning at the Mallnitz Stockmühlen, that unmistakable aroma soon fills the air: fresh bread, crispy pastries, and a piece of living Mallnitz tradition.

Starting June 19, 2026, bread baking at the Stockmühlen begins again. Every Friday from around 10:00 AM, baking takes place near the Tauernbad – and for many locals and guests, this summer morning has become a regular highlight.

At the heart of it all are the lovingly and authentically restored Mallnitz Stockmühlen and the new wood-fired oven. Led by Hermann Unterrainer, who has tirelessly worked for years to preserve and restore the Stockmühlen, and Alexander, the owner of Bäckerei Kniesek in Mallnitz, this is about more than just baking bread. It shows how much passion, craftsmanship, and community are woven into such special places.

The selection includes Stockmühlen bread, spelt bread, small spelt pastries, and pizza sticks. Visitors can watch the bread baking, enjoy the atmosphere at the Stockmühlen, and take home freshly baked wood-fired bread – or bring it back to their vacation apartment.

For our guests in Mallnitz, this is a wonderful opportunity to combine a leisurely walk, a visit to the Stockmühlen, and a special piece of Mallnitz craftsmanship. Fresh wood-fired bread on the breakfast table or for a snack on the balcony – sometimes that’s all you need.

During the summer, smoked trout is also available on selected days. If you’d like to enjoy this special treat, consider making a reservation, as these regional delicacies are in high demand.

Drinks and a cozy atmosphere are also provided.

The Mallnitz Stockmühlen beautifully demonstrate how tradition stays alive: not as a museum behind glass, but as a place where people work, bake, share stories, laugh, and spend time together.

21st National Park Festival in Mallnitz on Saturday, July 25, 2026

17 June, 202618 June, 2026in Events, Food and Drinks, Summer, Tradition and Culture by Florian Hohenberger

2026 is a special anniversary year for Mallnitz and the Hohe Tauern National Park: 40 years ago, the reintroduction of the bearded vulture in the Hohe Tauern began. At the same time, the national park municipalities of Mallnitz and Malta are celebrating their 40th anniversary.

The Mallnitz National Park Festival is also dedicated to this special connection between nature, tradition, and community. For the 21st time, locals, guests, clubs, and friends of the national park will gather in the mountaineering village of Mallnitz to celebrate together.

Every year, the National Park Festival shows once again what makes Mallnitz so special: living tradition, a strong village community, and proximity to a unique alpine natural landscape.

For our guests at Apartments Hohenberger, the festival is a wonderful opportunity to get to know Mallnitz not just as a vacation spot, but also as a vibrant mountaineering village in the Hohe Tauern National Park.

If you want to dive deeper into the fascinating world of the bearded vulture, you can take part in a guided ranger tour in the morning. The tour starts at 9:00 AM and is accompanied by bearded vulture expert Michael Knollseisen together with a National Park Ranger. It’s a great opportunity to experience the anniversary not just at the festival, but also out in nature, in the Seebachtal valley of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Participation can be booked via the event calendars of Visit Mölltal, Hohe Tauern National Park, and the Resi App.

For the 40th anniversary festival, visitors can once again expect a varied program with live music, culinary delights, crafts, and traditional customs.

2 concerts by Pro Musica Mallnitz at the turn of the year

3 January, 202518 June, 2026in Tradition and Culture, Events, Winter by Florian Hohenberger

Mallnitz was once again dominated by classical music at the turn of the year 2024-25: with two impressive concerts, the Pro Musica Mallnitz and the invited artists showed why it has been a base for classical music in the Hohe Tauern National Park for decades.

Concert in the Mallnitz parish church - December 29, 2024

The first evening was on December 29 with a concert in the Mallnitz parish church with its fantastic acoustics.

The festive atmosphere of the church provided the perfect setting to bring the year to a musical close.

An evening full of emotion, which was met with enthusiasm by the visitors.

36th New Year's Concert - January 2, 2025

The next highlight was the 36th New Year’s Concert, which took place in Mallnitz on January 2, 2025.

The renowned Zalodek Ensemble with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra led by Martin Zalodek delighted the audience with an extraordinary program. Unfortunately, Laura Olivia Spengel had to cancel due to a cold.

The musical quality and passion of the musicians made this concert in a packed Tauernsaal an unforgettable start to the new year.

Pro Musica Mallnitz - Music tradition since 1988

Since its founding in 1988, Pro Musica Mallnitz has been dedicated to nurturing and promoting classical music. With a high-caliber concert program, Mallnitz has developed into a cultural meeting place that attracts music lovers from near and far year after year. With the Musiksommer Mallnitz, it also continues the tradition of the classic summer retreat.

The careful selection of artists always guarantees the highest quality. In combination with the impressive natural backdrop of the Hohe Tauern National Park, Pro Musica impressively demonstrates how well culture and nature complement each other.

Culture and nature - a perfect symbiosis

The Pro Musica Mallnitz music festival is an example of how the beauty of nature and the art of music merge to create a unique experience. The majestic mountain world and the classical sounds create an atmosphere that inspires and touches in equal measure.

Conclusion: A cultural highlight in the Hohe Tauern

The concerts at the turn of the year 2024/25 have once again demonstrated why Pro Musica Mallnitz is renowned far beyond the borders of Mallnitz. The next concert will take place on April 16, 2025 in the parish church of Mallnitz: “The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross” – Joseph Haydn: String Quartet op. 51, and afterwards we look forward to the program of the Musiksommer Mallnitz 2025, during which, from mid-July to September, the Hohe Tauern National Park will be characterized by classical music!
