It’s a long-standing tradition for the Dorfner company to nurture a bond with its former employees and invite them on a day trip. On September 18, 2019, the so-called “widow’s and pensioner’s trip” took a group of 83 by bus to the Czech Republic.

A reunion with old work colleagues, plus sun, culture and good food: Our Dorfner excursion, which takes place every two years, was a resounding success once again! In the morning we visited the magnificent Svata Hora basilica in Príbram with its numerous paintings depicting the miracles that occurred there. The descriptions by the guides impressed the whole group.

Our bus journey to Pilsen took us through narrow, winding roads to the second part of the program. Our destination was the restaurant “Na Spilce”, which is located on the premises of the Pilsener Urquell brewery. After a warm welcome by Dr. Oetzel, we enjoyed an excellent lunch menu in a relaxed atmosphere. In a subsequent city tour, we were able to get to know the city of Pilsen better. In the afternoon, we had delicious pastries and the opportunity to taste the different types of beer from the Pilsen brewery.

On behalf of all participants, we would like to thank the Dorfner family and the management, as well as the travel companions, Mr. Johann Scherer and Mr. Franz Hofmann, who made this memorable excursion possible again.
