Harvest Festival Returns This Sunday, Blending Tradition and Recreation

This Sunday marks the annual Harvest Festival, a tradition dating back to the 3rd century. Locals will gather to give thanks for the season's bounty, much like our ancestors did for bountiful harvests. The event coincides with the readiness of grapes at Bleimer Castle winery, which are ripe for picking under the warm sun.

Tim Eberhard, the winemaker at Bleimer Castle, has been cultivating the grapes in anticipation of this moment. He will expose them to the sun during the festival, a practice that has been passed down through generations. The Harvest Festival also falls on the same day as a scenic hike organised by Altmühltal Nature Park. The hike, titled 'Hiking with pleasure - to the end', offers a delightful way to enjoy the autumn landscape and celebrate the harvest season.

This Sunday promises a blend of tradition and recreation. The Harvest Festival provides an opportunity to honour the past while enjoying the present, with the added bonus of witnessing the grape harvest at Bleimer Castle and participating in the Altmühltal Nature Park hike.
