Farmer's autumn
End of August 2025 until 31 October 2025
When the leaves slowly change colour, the air, the mountains and the lakes are crystal clear, then autumn has arrived! Harvest time everywhere, time for arts and crafts, time for contemplation and cosy get-togethers... Time for the farmers' autumn in Bad Ischl!
Fog-free Bad Ischl invites you to spend the last warm rays of sunshine of the year on the surrounding alpine pastures and at the wonderful events. Experience our cultural and culinary highlights: Alpine festivals, farmers' markets, cattle drives, Gstanzlsingen, our very special Liachtbratlmontag and countless other attractions in and around Bad Ischl.
