It's harvest time! In Carinthia, the farms celebrate this tradition with great devotion and welcome vacation guests to join in the celebrations and experience rural life up close.
The festival often begins with a church service and a procession carrying magnificently decorated harvest crowns, up to one meter high, and the fruits of the fields and gardens. The focus is on giving thanks to nature for its bounty - framed by traditional delicacies such as home-baked bread and Carinthian Reindling, the famous yeast cake with cinnamon and raisins.
If you would like to experience the harvest festival or culinary experiences on one of Carinthia's farms, you will find some special recommendations here:
