Konditorei Zauner

[Taste] Recommended chestnut cake, worthy of Emperor Franz's love, creamy and delicate. Fruit pie and a dessert shaped like fried cake, average [Environment] Bad Ischl is a small city with few tourists. It was drizzling the day we went there, and the whole town was quiet, but this dessert shop was very popular, with many diners lining up around the large counter, including tourists and locals. When ordering, confirm with the staff whether you want to eat in. If you eat in, you will be given a number, and the waiter will deliver the food accordingly [Service] There were too many people, the counter was on the first floor, and the dining area was inside. The tables and chairs were placed very closely, and the service was average

Bad Ischl is a spa town in Austria, located in the center of the Salzkammergut region in the south of Upper Austria, on the banks of the Traun River, surrounded by the Ischl and Traun Rivers. In 1849, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph chose to build a summer palace here. On August 19, 1853, Franz Joseph and Princess Sissi held the famous engagement ceremony in the movie Princess Sissi at the Hotel Austria (now the Municipal Museum) here. In 1854, the emperor's mother Sophie gave him the Emperor's Villa as a wedding gift. In addition to the romantic place that Sher is familiar with, it is also the place where the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Joseph signed a declaration of war against Serbia in 1914, kicking off the cruel First World War. Because it is a place to rest at night during the itinerary, there is not enough time to play, so I had to get up early and take a quick tour. The town is quiet and peaceful in the early morning, and the lights reflect the clear river water. After passing Hotel Austria, Bad Ischl Parliament and Kongress & Theaterhaus, and looking up along the Pfarrgasse cobblestone road, you will see the famous Zauner Royal Dessert Shop, which was founded in 1832. The cakes here are the favorite desserts of Emperor Franz Joseph. The building is painted in bright pink, allowing guests to experience the romance of more than a hundred years ago. The colorful desserts in the cabinets are mouth-watering. The orange post office in the center of the town can't help but remind people of the funny plot in the movie Princess Sissi. I wonder if such a funny thing really happened back then. Due to limited time, the residence of the king of operetta, Franz Leha, LeharvillaMuseum, can only be seen from a distance.
