In the past, no one wanted the Kiachl, remembers boss Helga of the beginnings. Back then, people preferred a barbecue plate with their mulled wine, because they had the kiachl at home themselves. Gradually, however, the delicious little doughnut disappeared from households - too elaborate, too smelly, too unhealthy. But the memory remained. And because a little sin at Christmas time makes you blissful, the longest queue every year piles up at the tried and tested Kiachlstand. For the sake of the baby elephant, the queue has now been moved to the Riesengasse and the legendary Kiachl with cabbage (alternatively cranberries/dusted sugar) is served to go. Daily from 11:00 to 18:30 (Christmas until 16:00) and until 05 January 2021 inclusive.
