A feast for all the senses:
the Pirker erLebzelterei visitor experience

Follow the creation of our Lebkuchen from beginning to end – no advance booking required. At our erLebzelterei, you can take your time as you stroll through the visitors’ glass-panelled walkway and watch in awe at the dexterity of our skilled confectioners as they work.
