Sterz.Strudel.Sturm.Festival translates to "Sterz.Strudel.Storm.Festival" in English.

There are dishes that carry the flavor of an entire region within them. Sterz is one of them. What once was a humble peasant meal is now considered a culinary cultural asset – down-to-earth, honest, and surprisingly versatile. Between the steaming pan and the crispy crust, Sterz tells stories of simpler times, of lived craftsmanship, and of a Burgenland that knows its roots – and proudly carries them on the tongue.

Whether made from buckwheat, cornmeal, potatoes, or even with a sweet note – Sterz embodies the diversity of the land. Sometimes hearty with cracklings, sometimes light with pumpkin or interpreted vegetarian, Sterz continually reinvents itself while remaining true to its essence: a genuine original. For two days, the romantic courtyard of Schloss Tabor transforms into a stage for Burgenland's culinary culture: with live music starting at 2:30 PM, creative Sterz cooking shows at 1:00 PM, regional delicacies, and a vibrant market atmosphere. A true highlight is the Neuhauser Sterz – a southern specialty with character.

Sterz Weeks in the Taverns
Not only at the festival itself does everything revolve around Sterz: numerous taverns in the area invite visitors to Sterz Weeks surrounding the events. There, guests can discover how diverse and modern the classic is interpreted today in a cozy tavern atmosphere.
