“Bauernherbst“ (farmers’ autumn festival)

The “Bauernherbst“ farmers’ festival is held from the end of August to early November. During this time, the “Wanderherbst” (autumn hiking festivities) combines customs, ceremonial cattle drives from summer pastures up in the mountains back down into the valleys (“Almabtrieben”), and traditional celebrations like the harvest festival... and it goes without saying that all those events need plenty of farm-fresh refreshments on hand for the festivities.
