Endpoint: Terenten center
This year, as well, during the Return of the Livestock in Terento, farmers will get their livestock from the Alpine pasture together and bring them back to their home farms, and thus into the warm barns. For cows, calves, sheep, goats, and donkeys, their stay will thus draw to a close in the airy higher elevations, with fresh mountain air, spicy grass, and cool nights. The animals are adorned with bells, artistically decorated wreaths around their necks and their horns festooned with fresh flowers, and they are then driven into the valley. With floats along with household goods and small animals, whip crackers, thigh-slapping folk dancers, a farmer’s market, and musical entertainment, the event becomes a colorful celebration.
