Alpine cattle drive weekend Westendorf
The cattle drive in Westendorf forms a lively highlight on Saturday, September 19, 2025, starting at 10:00 AM in the town center at the Paulschneidern festival area, marking the beginning of the autumn season. The focus is on the traditional return of the farmers, where the livestock is driven back from the alpine pastures to the meadows in the valley – a striking custom that attracts numerous visitors each year.
As part of the "Hoamfahrerfest", typical Brixental specialties and regional delicacies will be offered in a convivial atmosphere. Traditional, hearty music and a great atmosphere complement the festival activities, with the group "die Hinterlechner" providing the suitable musical entertainment.
The cattle drive weekend begins already on Thursday, September 17, 2025, with the Schau-Zuichi market in the town center, which combines crafts, culinary delights, live music, and a long shopping evening.
On Friday, September 18, 2025, the cattle drive evening gathering invites you to enjoy regional delicacies and socializing, setting the mood for the upcoming festival. Following this, the last concert of the 2025 season will take place at the music pavilion in Westendorf.
