A fourth generation family keeps a historic Austrian inn running

Jörg Huber manages the Zacherlbräu, a traditional inn located in the village of Bruck an der Glocknerstraße in Austria.

Huber represents the fourth generation of his family to run the establishment. The inn sits directly across from the Brucker Kirche and features a garden decorated with traditional wood carvings and historical artifacts. The business serves a menu that includes fine fish and up to 60 types of regional mushrooms, such as the saffron milk cap and the witch's bolete.

The inn has survived significant historical periods, including the Second World War, when a pharmacy operated inside its dining room. It also hosted American soldiers and experienced a surge in tourists following the opening of the Großglockner Hochalpenstraße. A bypass road later reduced the volume of tourist traffic to the village center. The family continues to prepare meals manually rather than using pre-made or thawed ingredients.

Even the owner's grandfather, who is 92 years old, continues to work in the kitchen every day to cut schnitzel. The establishment also serves its own beer, honoring the site's history as a former brewery.
