One
of the highlights of the "Bauernherbst" is
definitely a visit to an original Salzburgerland Farmers' Market, which will
show you the wide and varied rural culture of this province. Experience the
world of the local farmer, who, as his father and his father's father before
him, still works his farm using traditional methods. You may see how fruits
are distilled into the traditional spirit or "Schnapps" and look
out for the cows with headresses being led down the mountains. Everything you
see is authentic and has not been reconstructed for tourists.
Day 6 - Salzburgerland "Bauernherbst"
This
morning visit the Salzburg Open Air Museum, where 60 original farmhouses have
been carefully reconstructed and demonstrations from local trades people take

an insight into the traditional rural life in Austria. There may be more local
markets to visit too, but you will be advise of that just before the tour departs.
