Herbs and Healing Plants from the Garden

Herb Walks in Niederthai with Herbal Educator Rosmarie Leiter

Are you eager to explore the flavors, diversity, and healing powers of herbs? Join your host, Rosmarie, as she guides you through the farmer's garden and the forest in search of herbs, best enjoyed during the weekly herb walk. 

When Rosmarie Leiter speaks about herbs, her passion radiates, as the aromas and flavors of tea and culinary herbs are truly exceptional. As she gently brushes her hand over the rosemary, mint, and parsley growing alongside other herbs in the garden, delicate, intense, and inviting scents fill the air. Along the way, the certified herbal educator shares captivating insights about the healing powers of tea and culinary herbs used in the organic kitchen at the Vitalhof "Der Veitenhof".

Herbs and Healing Plants: Discover Their Effects!

As a vital farm, we delight you with a variety of homemade delicacies crafted from herbs. Our herbal teas boast delightful names like “Good Mood,” “Rosmarie's Vital Tea,” and “Herbs for the Soul.” Juices, syrups, and liqueurs bring the flavors of culinary herbs to life, while herbal salts, vinegars, and oils enhance the Veitenhof kitchen with plenty of variety. By the way, the symbol of the Vitalhofs in Tyrol is the marigold (Calendula), which is a must-have in any farmer's herb garden. The vibrant orange flowers are not only visually stunning but also possess anti-inflammatory properties and healing effects for both internal and external ailments.

Active Program Around Wild Herbs: Herb Walks

Once a week, Rosmarie Leiter invites you to join her for an engaging herb walk (for a fee) around Niederthai. Discover and identify herbs found in the forest and along the pathways, and learn more about their uses in the kitchen and home pharmacy! You’ll be amazed by the effects and versatile applications of these herbs.
