I watched this Sunday evening and have never seen some of these types of Krapfen. Its in Südtirol, but a German BR Fernsehen production. Maybe it might help with future travel ideas during this cononavirus restiction travel pause/hell. First broadcast: 28.01.2018. I did not know that if you lost a cow over the summer, that during the Almabtrieb you did not decorate the cows. Anyhow Fasching now and Faschingskrapfen (jelly donuts) are in every bakery in Bayern.

Oh does that bring back memories. Our little bakery in Unterammergau made the most wonderful faschingskrapfen. DH would leave the house early to buy a dozen or so, and drop off a couple for me on the way to work, where they would be gobbled up by his office mates. Soooooooooooooo good.

That was fun, thanks.
I love Mohnstrudel but have never seen the Mohnkrapfen. Apparently they are made for holidays, like that cow parade and festival. (I didn’t get all the German). Can’t say I would enjoy the sauerkraut ones!!!
According to one website I found, the Mohnkrapfen are a specialty not just of Suedtirol but a certain valley, the Val d’Ultimo. If that is where they were, that road hung on the side of the cliff was pretty impressive, but I don’t think I would attempt that in a car.

Bayerischer Ministerpräsident Söder is talking about closing the border with the Czech Republic and Austria, particularly with Tyrol due to the South African variant found there.
