21st of September 2024 in Kössen
Smuggler's Festival in Kaiserwinkl
The new smugglers' festival was first celebrated on the village square in Kössen in 2023 and replaces the traditional Almabtrieb. The festival will take place on 21 September 2024 from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, whatever the weather. We have also come up with a great surprise for our younger guests!
As the name suggests, the Smugglers' Festival is all about “smuggling”. On the one hand, delicacies from the region are on offer. Local clubs are involved here and will be catering for the guests. The most important smuggler's good was and still is in abundance in Kaiserwinkl: cheese!
Alcohol was also smuggled across the Bavarian-Tyrolean border. Local schnapps distilleries were also involved here. The third contraband was tobacco products. Of course, we do not want to exhibit or offer these. Instead, we will be focussing on medicinal herbs, incense and health. Another highlight will be a festive parade. Nostalgia and horse-drawn carriages are a must!
