Alpabzug/alpabfahrt in Urnäsch
Appenzell Ausserrhoden,Switzerland
Alpabzug is the descending of the cows
from the alps into the valleys at the end of summer.
It was like a parade of cows with their traditional swiss cow bell.The poeple there are dressed up walking their cows down to the village.
They have live band,poeple yodelling (that reminds me of Heidi cartoon series when i was a kid),farm markets where you can try their popular Appenzell cheese,pig race and some fun activities for kids.
it's getting more and more popular touristic place that the village guide had to give instructions in german and english.The place is really wonderful far from the busy bahnhofstrasse in zurich.
It's a perfect short day trip for the whole family to get to know more about the swiss culture.
For all the activities and events check their website for all the info.
