Latschenwirt Inn

The name Latschenwirt comes from the mountain pine distillery that was located until the end of the 19th century. Mack's Reichenhaller mountain pine oil was produced here from the mountain pine cut on the Untersberg and rosin[1] was made for violin players.

The mountain pine distillery was converted into the Gasthaus zur Wegscheid by the Mayr-Melnhof family in 1911/1912 and was first leased to the company's own woodcutter Franz Vötterl in 1912. The son continued to run the inn, mainly to cater to the lumberjacks, until 1974. At this point, the common name Latschenwirt had already established itself. Anna Klinger was the tenant of the house until 1979.

In 1979 Dipl.Ing. Friedrich Baron Mayr-Melnhof and his wife Maria Anna visit the new Latschenwirt next to the old house. Old wood from demolished farmhouses and lumberyards was used to build the house. The old Latschenwirt was then demolished.

On July 1, 2011, hoteliers Andreas Felleis and Patrick Knittelfelder opened the traditional inn as new tenants. Its declared goal is to make a significant contribution to preserving Salzburg's pub culture. In addition to the Latschenwirt and a number of hotels, the Buschenschank Ramsau in Elsbethen and the well-known Bärenwirt are also run by the two hoteliers.

Worth seeing inn with fantastic food.

Stop in and enjoy! Whether hiking or cycling, the location and hospitality is the ideal place for a snack to gather strength!
