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 parades, product tastings, and music at the various serviced alpine huts. In recent years in particular, the program has been further developed with the alpine farmers in the Riedingtal Nature Park – you can experience rustic hut life as it was in the old days, with delicacies like farmers' doughnuts or "Rahmkoch", old healing recipes and handicraft tricks, lots of music and activities at the alpine huts. The program at the alpine huts represents an excellent incentive to get to know the Riedingtal valley from hut to hut.

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