A day in Benediktbeuern feels like a little break from everyday life – sometimes filled with wild adventures, sometimes completely relaxed and full of enjoyment. And right in the middle? hej – Ice Cream, Café & More. A place where Scandinavian coziness flirts with Italian lightness, while a breeze of Bavarian down-to-earth charm drifts through the window.
A Place to Feel at Home
Once you step inside, it feels like a warm hug. Light wooden tables, cozy corners, and a touch of retro charm invite you to linger. Inside, the scent of freshly baked cake fills the air, and outside, a small terrace awaits with postcard-perfect mountain views. While the grown-ups get lost in their coffee cups, the little ones can be a bit of a whirlwind – exactly as it should be.
Ice Cream Time – or Would You Rather Have Summer in a Cup?
Here, you won’t find generic ice cream flavors, but real flavor masterpieces. Whether it’s creamy Alpine Caramel, fruity Mango, or the original Italian World Champion ice cream from Santos – every scoop will have you saying “One more, please!”. For a lighter option, indulge in Frozen Yogurt with fresh fruit and crunchy toppings. The homemade waffle? You have to try it – it smells like childhood and crunches like a sunset by the lake.
More Than Just Sweet Temptations
It’s not just the sweet tooths who’ll be satisfied at hej! The Pinsa – the fluffy, crispy cousin of pizza – is just what you need after a day outdoors. Add some fresh salads, homemade cakes, and perhaps the best cinnamon rolls around. And the coffee? It comes from a South Tyrolean roastery and tastes like a vacation in the mountains.
A Pit Stop for Big and Little Explorers
hej isn’t just a café – it’s also the perfect starting point for small and big microadventures:
- Lainbachtal – a babbling stream, cool feet, and climbing rocks calling for brave conquerors. All the details are available here.
- Loisach-Kochelsee-Moor – cycling through a landscape straight out of a picture book.
- Benediktbeuern Monastery – a place full of history and an adventure trail that will captivate little explorers too.
- Playground in the village – if there’s still energy left after all the adventures, this playground is the perfect spot for climbing, swinging, and running to your heart’s content.
Whether after a wild discovery tour or as a sweet pit stop – hej is a favorite spot for families who want to enjoy life with all their senses.
