Tradition, customs & delight
In mid-August, the "fifth season" begins in SalzburgerLand: the Bauernherbst. A time filled with tradition, joy, and culinary delights. In Piesendorf and Niedernsill, traditional harvest festivals and a lively farm celebration invite you to experience rural life up close.
Immerse yourself in the colors of autumn, enjoy local hospitality, and feel how tradition and modernity create a unique atmosphere. Whether hiking through the autumnal mountains or celebrating at a customs festival, you'll find unforgettable holiday moments here.
With around 2,000 events celebrating rural traditions, authentic customs, and culinary delights, SalzburgLand marks the Bauernherbst from 23rd August to 31st October 2025, in 76 Bauernherbst villages.
Our Bauernherbst hosts serve sustainable regional specialties, such as cheese dumpling soup, mushroom dishes, Pinzgauer Kasnock'n, and much more.
You'll also find a variety of sustainable, regional, fresh, and typical Pinzgauer delicacies and products at market stalls and in the farm shops of our local farmers.
Bauernherbst Motto 2025
"Music in the Bauernherbst – G‘sunga & G‘spüt"
Music is the heart of this celebration: In 2025, special melodies will fill SalzburgerLand, inviting you to rediscover tradition, culture, and community.
For the 30th anniversary of the Bauernherbst, a specially composed "Bauernherbst Melody" will bring musical highlights to life. Celebrate the fifth season with us in SalzburgerLand and enjoy an unforgettable mix of customs, music, and warm hospitality!
