At village festivals or other festive occasions, you will come across Zillertaler Krapfen, which are among the sweet delicacies of the region. In general, Tyrolean kitchens often work with the four typical elements: Nudln, Nockn, Knödln, Plenten. Meat is not a must for Tyroleans but is used more accentuated.
