In Ischgl the guest gets what he wants – Diepresse.com

The schnapps glasses, which are now filled in turn, are sure to fit on a tray. The employee has already prepared the pieces of the pickled pear. As soon as it is finished, a colleague wears the tray from the kitchen and the next turn.

Again: one piece of pear per glass, 150 times. The liquid counterpart, the Williams schnapps, will only be added a little later. Bernhard Zangerl sits in the sitting area next to the kitchen entrance this early afternoon and sips cola in a wine glass. « Everything tastes better from a beautiful glass, » he says, visibly relaxed. Because his team is well teamed up and is ready for another wild evening in the Kitzloch.

Located on the outskirts, the bar was actually long as an insider tip among the visitors of Ischgl. Then came what the Tyrolean ski resort should suddenly catapult the headlines worldwide. Ischgl became the « Ground Zero of Coronavirus Pandemie » in Central Europe and the Kitzloch to its epicenter after a barteper infected with the virus had infected numerous guests. The infection chain from Ischgl stretched across Europe.

Zangerl, who had taken over the bar as managing director for the 25-year-old, shows a screenshot of the Cnn-Website on his cell phone: “There was the gill hole on the front page, and the Trump next to it is very small. In retrospect, it is already a bit unreal that the waves made such a high waves. ”

Five years have passed since then. What about the place now? Is everything in Ischgl the old, the place is still the « Ballermann of the Alps » when he once was? How does the time when all of Europe looked at Ischgl after?
