Sheep inspection in Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt
This event has already taken place
The traditional "sheep inspection" will take place on 21th September 2019 on the Hütteneckalm mountain pasture in Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt. It is a sign that autumn has finally arrived when in September the sheep are herded together ready to be "inspected". Throughout the summer, the sheep have been allowed to graze freely in the sun on the mountain pastures of Bad Goisern, but must now return to their stalls down in the valley.

From 11.00 brs. the sheep will be herded together on the Hütteneckalm, and the so-called crier will call out, in local dialect, the number on the ear markings. That is how the sheep find their rightful owner! There is musical entertainment to enjoy whilst sampling some simple traditional cuisine from the mountain hut before returning to the valley.
