Wermsdorf was an early hunting ground of the Wettiner because it is a landscape rich on forest and water. This is why traditional fish- and wild-courts have become established in the kitchens of our restaurateurs. Beside the goose, which is bred here in the goose breeding farm Eskildsen, chocolate is also a big theme in terms of pleasure. Traditionally, dishes such as “Wermsdorf fish soup”, “carp blue” or “carp baked”, “goose gherkin” with red cabbage and dumplings, or a sweet chocolate from Chocolatier Praetsch. The Wermsdorfer hotels and restaurants offer you a very good selection of these culinary treats.

The Fish Soup has been a Wermsdorf specialty for many generations. For over 500 years, the number of ponds in the numerous ponds has been the basis. The original Wermsdorf fish soup is prepared from carp pieces, bacon, onions, carrots, celery roots, bay leaves, allspice, sharp paprika or hot peppers, noble-sweet paprika, salt and tomato ketchup. White bread and vodka are served. Try the soup and experience the exact recipe at Gasthaus Zum Bahnhof.

The original “Wermsdorf Goose Roast” is prepared from a Saxon goose with mugwort, apples, oranges, honey, mustard, salt and pepper. Red cabbage and dumplings are served. Try these roast and see the exact recipe at Eskildsen.

The Huntsmen plate “Wermsdorf Forest” is a special wild-dish. It spoils you with fine slices of wild-boar and deer-roast as well as a quarter of the wild-duck in shallot red-wine-sauce. You will get Preissel berry peaches, wild mushrooms, colorful garden vegetables and potatoes. You can order this food at the Seehof Döllnitzsee.

“Cold Duck” is a very refreshing drink that comes from Clemens Wenzeslaus of Saxony, a son of August III, and embodies original Hubertusburg history. He was born in 1739 in Hubertusburg. It is produced of different white wines, little lemon pieces, sugar and champagne. How it tastes, you can experience with a guidance in the Hubertus’s castle.

To bake “Eierschecke“, a Saxon favorite cake, you need: flour, butter, yeast, sugar, vanillin sugar, salt, eggs, milk, pudding, curd, raisins and food strength. The exact recipe is a secret. How he tastes, you can find at the Café Wentzlaff in Oschatz.
