Everything about The Almabtrieb totally explained
The
Almabtrieb (
German language literally:
drive from the mountain pasture) is an annual event in the
alpine regions in
Europe, referring to a
cow train in autumn.
During summer, all over the
alpine regions cow herds feed on alpine
pastures high up in the mountains (a practice known as
yaylag pastoralism). In numbers, these amount to about 500,000 cows in
Austria, and 50,000 in
Germany.
In autumn, these herds are led to their stables down in the valley, in the
Almabtrieb cow train. In case there were no accidents during the summer, in many areas the cows are decorated elaborately, and the cow train is celebrated with music and dance events in the towns and villages.
In many places this alpine custom of
Almabtrieb has nowadays evolved into a major
tourist attraction, focusing on the marketing of local products and alcoholic beverages.
In spring, the herds are once more led to the alpine pastures, in the
Almauftrieb, which is however not celebrated.
