The tradition of the "Lechpartie"

The tradition of Lechparties here at Lake Grundlsee stems from the rich fishing history that has formed on the lake over many generations. Here in the Auseerland region, Lechparties are legendary events that are hosted in traditional cabins on the side of the lake. People dress in the traditional attire of Austria – Dirndl for women and Lederhosen for men – and enjoy a delicious meal of grilled Char (close relative to trout and salmon) that is cooked over an open fire. Austrian folks-music accompanies this very special invitational event late into the night.

The origins of the Lechpartie

The fish caught during this peri­od are sor­ted and many are re-released into the lake. Some of the fema­le fish have some of their eggs coll­ec­ted to be used as wild genes” for the local fishe­ries. A few unfort­u­na­te male fish beco­me the tra­di­tio­nal deli­ca­cy ser­ved at the­se spe­cial Lech parties.
