Obotola Kirschta with original transumanza in Val Casies Valley

In Val Casies Valley, in the village of S. Maddalena, the traditional "Kirschta" (church day) is celebrated in autumn. We particularly recommend the "Original Obolola Almabtrieb" on Saturday afternoon. The farmers, dressed in traditional costumes, bring their livestock, such as cows, sheep and goats, directly from the mountain pastures back down to the valley. The animals are lavishly decorated with flowers, wreaths and bells. At the end of the valley, there is traditional food and musical entertainment until the end of the festival. On Sunday, the Kirchtag is celebrated with the traditional morning pint in the S. Maddalena Association House with traditional music and local, regional specialities. Program: Saturday: from 11:30 am. musical entertainment with the Klausberger, from 01:30 pm. traditional Oboltola alpine cattle drive at the head of the valley, at 07:00 pm. vigil mass at the parish church in S. Maddalena. Sunday: from 08:30 am. Eucharistic adoration at the parish church in S. Maddalena, from 10:00 am., morning pint at the association’s house in S. Maddalena, musical entertainment with Marc Perin & Damian Hofmann, followed by the Bohemian brass band of the Pater Haspinger Music Band.
