The "Emuinza" is one of the first plants to announce spring after a long winter. It belongs to the plant family of the buttercup family.It loves and needs sunny and forest-free mountain meadows where it finds its ideal habitat. Due to the fact that less and less grazing with sheep and goats takes place, which goes hand in hand with bush encroachment and increase of the forest even at higher altitudes, the habitat of the "Emuinza" is increasingly restricted.

This can also be clearly seen in the significant decline of this beautiful flower in recent years. Climate change will probably also contribute to this.

Why is the alpine kitchen clamp with us "Emuinza" you will ask yourself?

The fine hairs on the stem and flower are reminiscent of the velvety soft fur of young kittens, and young kittens are called "Muinza" by us.
