Almabtrieb

Bavarian farmers escort cows during the traditional “Almabtrieb” in Bad Hindelang, south of Munich, Germany September 10, 2016. The Almabtrieb is an annual event in the alpine regions in Europe, referring to a cow train in autumn. While there is often some movement of cattle between the Almen/Alpen during the summer, there is usually one concerted cow train in autumn to bring the cows to their stables down in the valley. This typically takes place in late September or early October. If there were no accidents on the Alm/Alp during the summer, in many areas the cows are decorated elaborately, and the cow train is celebrated with music and dance events in the towns and villages. In many places this Alpine custom of Almabtrieb/Alpabzug has nowadays evolved into a major tourist attraction. (Photo by Michaela Rehle/Reuters)
