"A Crayfish Gourmet is not only about food. It's an invitation to pause, share a table, experience time-honored traditions, and connect over the things that really count."
Janis Baltacs,
The author of the Crayfish Gourmet dinner idea and the owner of the Krape Manor watermill

The dinner is taking place at the
Krape Manor Watermill
The watermill stands on the banks of the Lobe River. Here you can feel the power of water that has flowed since the time of the Hardels millers – and a waterfall silence found nowhere else.
This place breathes slowly. A dinner by the water is a chance to touch what truly remains – nature, history, and a moment that does not hurry.
