Experience seasonal delights and traditions

Whether spring or autumn… the seasons still determine the lives of many people in an environment where nature still plays a major role. A unique occasion to get to know the habits of our region and experience traditions that have been handed down over time.

In spring, visit the “Rural Pleasure Promenade“, a gourmet promenade where you can taste high-quality local products. The manufacturing history of the products is interesting – production has always taken place under different climatic conditions at three altitudes. All your senses will thank you for having been on this pleasure mile.

In autumn in Algund you can experience local traditions coupled with culinary seasonal highlights: from the harvest festival to the farmers’ market to the traditional Törggele.
