Almsommer- & Almherbstfest in the Riedingtal Nature Park

The alpine festivals in the Riedingtal Nature Park are always held on the first and last Sunday in the main summer holiday season. The program of the Almtage includes demonstrations, product tastings and music at the various managed alpine huts. In recent years in particular, the program has been further developed with the alpine farmers in the Riedingtal Nature Park - from rustic hut life as it was in the old days - with delicacies from doughnuts to cream cooking, old healing recipes and handicraft tricks, lots of music and activities at the alpine huts. The program at the alpine huts naturally includes an excellent incentive to get to know the Riedingtal from hut to hut.

All visitors also receive a 50% discount on the toll tariff, as well as the opportunity to use the valley bus free of charge.
