The Bums'n is a place full of warmth, where life and community are celebrated. "Young and old come together here, the banker sits next to the labourer and the travelling troupe next to the employee," says Helmut Schuster with a smile - a real "living room" for the town and its visitors, because a feeling of home and togetherness is conveyed here. Once you enter the Bums'n, you become part of a living history made up of encounters, shared laughter and an appreciation of genuine, unadulterated cuisine. The Bums'n has been a permanent fixture in Schärding for over a century. The listed building has a long history dating back to 1609, when Baumgartner beer was first brewed here. Helmut Schuster, who started as head waiter at the inn 21 years ago, took over the traditional business, which has been known as the "zur Bums'n" pub since 1946, together with his business partner Herbert Unger in 2013. The somewhat unusual name comes from a time when beer barrels were still delivered by carriage. They rolled over the sloping wooden floor of the pub and "banged" against the bar. These noises were memorised by the locals and this is how the pub got its unmistakable name, which still stands for it today. What else is unmistakable about the Bums'n? The aroma of roast meat in the Rein, warm Leberkäs with crispy Salzstangerl and the famous goulash that greets you as soon as you come near the inn - if you want to experience typical Innviertel cuisine, the Bums'n is the place to be! The Surrahmschnitzel in malt beer sauce and crisp, fresh salads round off the menu. The dishes reflect the love of hearty cuisine and make the restaurant a real culinary meeting place. For the Bums'n team, regionality is paramount - many ingredients and products are sourced directly from the surrounding area. For Helmut and Herbert, the conscious decision to use regional products is not only a question of quality, but also an expression of their close connection to their homeland. The direct location of the inn in the baroque town, coupled with its proximity to the Inn and the loving preservation of old traditions, means that the connection to the Danube region can be felt in every corner of the house. The rustic vaulted ceiling on the ground floor and the cosy guest garden invite you to relax with a cool Baumgartner beer after a hike or a cycle tour along the many cycle paths, such as the [**Inn-Donau-Runde**](https://www.donauregion.at/oesterreich-tour/detail/430008574/r1-01-inn-donau-runde.html) or the [**Pram-Sauwald-Tour**](https://www.donauregion.at/oesterreich-tour/detail/430008581/r1-02-pram-sauwald-tour.html), to relax. The Inn Cycle Path, which leads directly through Schärding, also offers a wonderful route before a stop at the inn. Once you have visited the Bums'n, you will always want to come back - whether for the food, the get-together or simply to enjoy a good beer.
