Also famous is the so-called Viehscheid, the return of the cattle from the mountain pastures. On the 2nd Friday in September, the animals are festively decorated and driven back from the mountains to the stables in the valley. The weekly market is also a highlight, offering regional products and specialties from the Allgäu. Here, visitors can sample cheese, sausages and fresh baked goods directly from local suppliers.
