Event Ceremonial Cattle Drive at Hohe Salve

Hopfgarten im Brixental, on 26. Sept 2026

On the Hohe Salve, people know how to avoid waste and conserve resources at the cattle drive festival. The return of the cattle is celebrated in a cheerful, loud, colorful - and green way.

We recommend because:

  • the colorfully decorated cows look simply adorable
  • the cattle are ceremoniously brought home in four villages
  • a varied supporting program provides variety and amusement

Description

The four villages and communities at the foot of the Hohe Salve really celebrate their cattle. Of course, with magnificent colorful decorations, music and stalls, as it should be. On the evening before the day of the cattle drive, there is a big party at the "Tyrolean Evening" in Hopfgarten with Tyrolean music and dancing. On the day of the cattle drive, the elaborately decorated cattle can be seen in three villages - Hopfgarten, Kelchsau and Itter. Strolling through farmers' markets and tasting regional delicacies is also a sociable experience. A week earlier, on September 20, there is a cattle drive in Angerberg, the "Hoamfohra Festl".
