Almabtrieb Kufstein, Austria
The Almabtrieb (German language literally: drive from the mountain pasture) is an annual event in the alpine regions in Europe.
Crowned with brightly-colored headdresses and ribbons, the cows return from their summer pastures on or around St. Michael's day, September 29th. The milkmaids and cowherds take great pains making the beautiful headdresses out of small larch or spruce treetops and adorning them with up to two hundred colored rosettes made out of ribbons.
