Viehscheid: deeply rooted customs and a special experience
However, autumn in the Allgäu is not just a highlight for hiking enthusiasts. This is also the time of year when the traditional Viehscheid takes place - an ancient custom that celebrates the return of the "cattle" from the summer pastures in the Alps to the local valleys. For the locals, the Viehscheid is a very special event that has been practiced for generations and is deeply rooted in Allgäu culture.
During this time, you can witness the decorated herds being driven down into the valley to the sound of cowbells, accompanied by their herdsmen in traditional costume. The Viehscheid is not only a dignified event for us locals and guests, but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the living traditions and customs of the Allgäu. It is a festival that celebrates the community, the close connection between people and their homeland and the appreciation of nature and cattle.
