This doesn’t only go for food, but for all excursion destinations and the entire surrounding region too – only someone who has experienced the unmistakeable garlicky smell of ramsons on a spring stroll through the river wetlands of the UNESCO biosphere park in Bad Radkersburg can describe its pungent aroma and the lush forest growth around it. And only those who have climbed the Riegersburg castle route, and scaled its craggy cliffs, will know that you will work up a sweat even at 20 degrees on a sunny day, because the volcanic rock stores and radiates heat so well.
So it’s not actually too far-fetched to imagine that the “souvenir” you had long thought forgotten will come back to life – those who stay at home will be gifted a little piece of “holiday” and all your experiences will be perfectly encapsulated in the regional samples you bring back.
