Even as a child, she was welcomed by the guests at her parents’ establishment with a glass of schnapps in their hands. As a born and bred “Puschterin” [someone from Pustertal] and with experience in hospitality, Gudrun Huber now runs the Hofergut in her South Tyrolean homeland.

Wer das Lied aus den 1950ern kennt, der weiß schon, wie es an dieser Stelle weitergeht. Besungen wird hier ein ganz besonderer Duft. Welcher genau das ist, wird nicht geklärt – nur, dass er verlockend ruft. Möglicherweise liegt ja der beruhigende Lavendel der Bergwiese in der Nase.
