Time of traditions
Enjoy genuine folk culture, a world of traditional music and dance with “D`lustigen Zauchenseer”– during folk-heritage season, always true to the motto: “Watch and participate with all your senses”. Set aside some time to experience first-hand some of our traditional Salzburg customs. In the historical threshing barn, now home to Altenmarkt’s museum, you can watch and join in the event "Tradition Time".

Observe how members of the folk society "D'lustigen Zauchenseer" thresh, bake bread, or make shingles. And then, of course, there are still those performances of festive folk dances including the traditional Schuhplattln.

And this is just the right atmosphere for the village festival, when guests and locals gather together every year. Rustic wooden market stands serve up traditional Salzburg delicacies, whilst music is played on the stage in the center of the square.

Harvest festival … and no one would argue, it’s definitely “got milk”! Again this year, Altenmarkt-Zauchensee’s unusual harvest festival focuses on a theme which will move the rural population and provoke thought. During 2008 the desire for the use of more regional products and, in 2009, the impact of slowing-down and speeding-up our lives took center stage. In 2010, everything revolves around “milk”
