INFORMATION HIKING TRAILS
Hiking trails:
Currently, the damage caused by windthrow to the hiking trails is enormous. The clean-up work is in full swing, but the timeframe is not foreseeable.
Temporary closures of individual trail sections are unfortunately unavoidable.
We therefore ask you to exercise increased caution, especially when hiking through the forest, as fallen trees are always to be expected.
AUTUMN IN ZILLERTAL
CATTLE DESCENT
in the “Erste Ferienregion im Zillertal” holiday region
Get up close to tradition – the pastures have always played an important role in Tirol’s agriculture. This is why many traditions and customs have sprung up around the summer pastures high up in the mountains over the centuries. The most important one is the cattle descent in autumn, which has its roots in the New Stone Age. A colourful set of traditions were established around the return of cattle and herdsmen over time. The animals were decorated with colourful garlands and walked down to the valley in their finery. For a time, scientists interpreted this decoration of the cattle as a kind of ward against evil spirits. Today, the cows are “garlanded” to celebrate the end of summer and to recall old traditions. Be there as the farmers come down from the pastures to the valley with their colourfully decorated cows. The annual cattle descent with its exciting side events and regional specialities is always a highlight worth visiting in the Erste Ferienregion.
