In the middle of Austria, in the Salzkammergut, and right in its heart,

the emperor town Bad Ischl, you can find this charming pastry shop. In the year 1832 it was founded by Johann Zauner, a wine dealer and confectioner Johann Nestroy liked the pastries at Zauner and forgot to pay, till he succumbed to the charm of the waitress. Here in the pastry shop Zauner the gugelhupf is baked using the original recipe from Katharina Schratt, since she ordered it for the daily break with the emperor, just as a reinsurance should her own fail. Troughout all the external changes the pastry shop Zauner maintained its noble elegance, and its confectioners maintained their intention for perfection and pleasure on creativity. The name Zauner stands today as in the past for pleasure of finest nobility.
