September
The Return from the Mountain Pasture is an autumn festival that takes place around
Salzburg, Austria, and other areas in the German Alps on the day that the cattle are
driven down from the mountain pastures to their winter shelter.
The cattle are decorated with flowers and the Sennerinnen, or herding girls, who lead
them wear traditional costumes that vary from place to place.
Sometimes the cattle are brought to their final destination on flower-decked boats that
ferry them across the mountain lakes. Once the cattle are safely in for the winter, the
farmers hold welcome-home feasts which are followed by music, dancing, and singing.
