Three mountains, three peaks
According to legend, this fluffy treat has been around since the 17th century. And it was created by none other than Salome Alt, the mistress of Archbishop Wolf Dietrich. This relationship produced 16 children and laid the foundation for the earliest buildings at Mirabell Palace.
The Salzburger Nockerl became a sugar-sweet hit thanks to the operetta “Saison in Salzburg”, which was also filmed in the 1960s under the title of the same name. The refrain of the waltz “Salzburger Nockerl” is what remains of it: “Salzburger Nockerl, Salzburger Nockerl, sweet as love and tender as a kiss”.
The three peaks of the Salzburger Nockerl are intended to symbolize Salzburg’s three local mountains: Mönchsberg, Kapuzinerberg and Gaisberg. Our tip: Enjoy the delicious dessert in the IMLAUER Sky, where you have a wonderful view of all three local mountains.
A small world first
With the opening of the Mirabell Coffee Bar in 2020, we gave the Salzburger Nockerl a new shape. Since then, they have also been available to take away as a small world first. Salzburger Nockerl to-go can be packed in an environmentally friendly cardboard box and taken to the office or on the go.
You can also bake the Salzburger Nockerl yourself at home. Simply put them in the oven for 7 minutes and you have a wonderful dessert for a great meal with the family. The baking instructions are included!
