thumb|Different types of Landjäger

Landjäger is a semidried sausage traditionally made in Southern Germany, Austria, South Tyrol, Switzerland, and Alsace. It is popular as a snack food during activities such as hiking. It also has a history as soldier's food because it keeps without refrigeration and comes in single-meal portions. As a meal, landjäger sausage can be boiled and served with potatoes and fresh greens.
