Additionally, you will learn a lot of interesting facts about herbs, as well as their long-standing significance and use in rural everyday life. We will accompany the day with a colorful program centered around herbs, garden and hedge fruits, as well as the agricultural year shaped by religiosity and folk beliefs. Do you know the custom of blessing herbs or binding "Weihbüschele"? This ancient tradition, which is part of the Feast of the Assumption, has been documented since the 13th century.
