The cattle sheaid not only has a cultural, but also a historical background. The term "Scheid" refers to the separation of the animals from the Alps. It should be noted that the first written entries of the cattle difference in the Allgäu cannot be clearly dated. An exciting detail on the side: The cattle market in Immenstadt took place for the first time on September 20, 1930 and is still a popular attraction.

tradition meets modern

But be careful! Some cattle sheath are no longer open to the public. These include, for example, Hohenschwangau, Maierhöfen and Seeg, where alternative events are now offered. However, traditional care is very noticeable and is associated with a lively interest in the Heritage and our cultural landscape. The different terms, as one calls the cattle in the Allgäu (sometimes also "cattle Scheid"), always provide topics of conversation among locals and vacationers.

A clear view of the future: Almo drive in the neighboring regions of Austria and Switzerland in September is already a hot topic. For example, the almustriebe.de makes fat advertising for the alpine rifle in the Salzburg region and Tyrol, which spread a similar anticipation.

FAZIT: The cattle Scheid in the Allgäu is more than just a tradition - it is a feast of life and community that brings people together in this beautiful region. So, remember the appointments, put on the hiking shoes and come over!
