„Nose to tail – Für uns heißt das, dass wir jedes Lebensmittel wertschätzen und daher auch den Großteil dessen bei unserer Kreierung der Gerichte einfließen lassen. Bei uns in der Küche verwenden wir nur Regionale und Saisonale Produkte – Auch die Natur rund um die Burg wird dabei genutzt und Blumen wie auch Kräuter aus unserem direkten Umfeld werden bei unseren Gerichten hervorgehoben. Natürlich geben wir auf jegliche Allergien oder Wünsche acht.“

“Nose to tail – For us, this means that we respect our ingredients and therefore use most of them in the creation process of our dishes. In our kitchen, we exclusively use seasonal and regional products, and we also take advantage of the surrounding area of Burg Schlaining, incorporating flowers and chives into our dishes. Furthermore, we are more than happy to accommodate any allergies or special requests you may have.”

But there is much more behind the crane (i.e. Kranich).

A touching thought that is as global as it is emotional. After all, das Kranich is not located in just any place, but in a very special castle—Schlaining Castle—first mentioned in a document in 1271 and also known as “Castle of Peace” since the 1980s. And peace as an elementary, global value is held in particularly high regard here. But not only in conferences, seminars and meetings, but also in symbols as clear as they are touching, such as “Sadako’s Cranes”.

With its name, the Kranich Bistro carries on the idea of peace and the memory of a great little heroine. And so it is also more than just a bistro where you can enjoy regional delicacies with your loved ones or with business partners and colleagues.

Cranes—Birds of Happiness!

The beauty of the cranes has fascinated us humans for centuries. In ancient Greek mythology, the crane was associated with Apollo, Demeter and Hermes. It is a symbol of vigilance and prudence and is considered the “bird of happiness”—messenger of spring, as it were, representing warmth, light and nurture after a long winter. In poetry, the crane stands for the sublime in nature.
In the future, we will also express our solidarity with these very special animals through our support of conservation projects for cranes.
