The history of our farm

The Bruggerhof has been family-owned since 1788 - its first owner was Thomas Taschler. Beeing family-owned since over 200 years and handed down from generation to generation our farm Bruggerhof was awarded the name "ERBHOF" in 1998, for loyal adherence to inherited peasant property.

The swiss stone pine

An evergreen pine plant
(Pinus cembra).

The swiss stone pine grows from 1600 to over 2000 metres above sea level. Its aromatic wood is very much appreciated for making furniture.

The positive effects of swiss stone pine

The wood contains essential oils that can have a positive effect on the human organism. Studies of Joanneum Research Institute have shown, that it slowers heartbeat, calms, relaxes and enhances physical comfort. Furthermore it it drives out vermin such as moths and flees, etc.

Carafe with ball of pine wood

Fill the carafe with water and place the ball on it. Wait from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the desired flavour intensity. Then enjoy alpine nature!

The ball should not come in contact with water.
