At the end of August, the 5th<\/sup> season starts in SalzburgerLand \u2013 the Bauernherbst. It is the time to collect and process the harvest, a time of festivals, encounters and enjoyment. Here, you have the opportunity to get to know traditional peasant life with handicrafts, hikes, cooking classes, harvest festivals, Alpine cattle driving and traditional customs. Music, dance, good food, traditional costume, club life and craftsmanship are the focus.<\/p>\n

The special time<\/h2>\n

After the Alpine summer<\/a>, the herdsmen return to the valley with their cattle. Farmers go out onto the field one last time before winter to bring in the hay and harvest fruit, cereals or vegetables. Now is the time to process the harvest. Jams are boiled, juices are squeezed, fruit is macerated for making Schnapps and bacon and sausages are cured. All this freshly made produce<\/a> is also taken by the farmers up to the numerous Bauernherbst markets, where it can be tasted and bought at the stalls. But the Bauernherbst is also an opportunity for the sociable \u201cHoagascht\u201d (sitting together), dancing on the hay at the farm festivals, culinary delights and wearing one\u2019s traditional festive costume.<\/p>\n

Musical Bauernherbst<\/h2>\n

The Bauernherbst is brought to life musically by the folk musicians with their dulcimers, guitars and accordions, Alphorns, yodelling and \u201cGstanzlsinger\u201d. From the official opening, via the farm festivals to the rustic Alpine dances with the Plattler on the Alpine summer huts. Real folk music sets the tone here! An atmospheric hike from Alpine pasture to pasture accompanied by music is unforgettable. These \u201cAlmroas\u201d, such as on the Faistenauer Schafberg in the Fuschlsee region, combine an active experience of the Salzburg mountains with the finest musical enjoyment. You can also jump on your bike to visit one of the many musicians\u2019 meetings on the Alpine pastures of SalzburgerLand.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
