Summer herb hike to make oxymels

The Educational and Community Center, along with the Healthy Community of Pernegg/Nödersdorf, is organizing a summer herbal hike featuring the preparation of oxymeals with Waldviertel bestselling author Eunike Grahofer. Participants will hike through the idyllic natural landscape surrounding the Pernegg Monastery, discovering typical summer plants from the wild pharmacy that have always been used for home remedies. Eunike Grahofer will share old stories about the ingredients of the plants, their effects, and processing methods. From the collected wild plants, oxymeals—light, refreshing, flavorful summer drinks made from honey—will be prepared. These were once consumed for fevers or to combat summer heat. Participants will explore the variety of oxymeals and their preparation, and together they will create this wonderful drink. Please bring 3 airtight 100ml jars. The event will take place indoors in case of bad weather. Registration can be done with the head of the BhW and the Healthy Community, Deputy Mayor Cornelia Weiß, at 0664/75039822.
