Mohnwirt Neuwiesinger: A Family-Owned Business with a Rich History
According to the establishment, the inn has been family-owned since 1881. Since 1989, the inn has evolved into the “Mohnwirtshaus,” with a focus on Waldviertel gray poppy seeds. The idea to transform Armschlag into a “poppy village” originated with Johann Neuwiesinger at that time.
This connection between agriculture, the village, and gastronomy makes the visit particularly interesting. You’ll learn about a regional ingredient through the food and can then explore how it’s processed and its significance.
Our recommendation from Anna and Herbert: Think of your meal as a highlight of the day. Take your time choosing what to eat, and try something you rarely eat at home.
