At some point, usually at the end of March, spring arrives in Almenland! All it takes is a few warmer days and the last remnants of snow on the mountain pasture disappear as if by magic. And then suddenly the alpine pasture is white again. The sun has lured thousands and thousands of white and sometimes purple crocuses out of the damp alpine soil: crocus meadows as far as the eye can see and the one hike across the alpine pastures a very special experience!
Spring is already a little further advanced in the valleys, where the orchard trees are already blooming on intensely yellow dandelion meadows. The dandelion blossom is so dominant here that beekeepers even offer a pure dandelion honey. A tribute to the versatile heralds of spring is the "Fresh Spring Awakening in the Almenland Nature Park"which is celebrated throughout May. During this time, spring-fresh culinary delights are combined with a colorful array of events and experiences.
From the end of May, the alpine pastures also come alive when the cattle are herded up again. A highlight in the course of the year is the "let out the horses" on the summer pasture at the beginning of June, when the colorful group of summer visitors' horses decide on their ranking for the summer together on the pasture. In any case, our alpine cattle are allowed to do what they all want: stay the whole summer!
See you in spring in the Almenland Nature Park.
