Alpine Lambs Celebration on 25 July 2010
The third Alpine Lambs Celebration held on 25 July 2010 at the Hauser Kaibling station. It is a celebration "around the Ennstal - Lambs".
Over 800 sheep are driven up to the higher pastures on Hauser Kaibling where they are managed by a married couple who are professional shepherds, and their sheepdogs. Apart from the fact that the animals feel good, grazing on the pastures (as if they were on a “spa stay”) the highly diverse composition of their feed meets the conditions for producing high quality Alpine lambs which are then organized and brought to market by the Ennstal sheep farmers’ centre.
The primary aim of this project is to generate a high quality product, to “maintain” mountain pastures and ski slopes by using the ecological alternative of sheep, to keep the slopes open while preserving the enormous diversity of Alpine wildlife on the mountains, to use all these features for the promotion of tourism and, last but not least, to benefit local farmers by driving sheep up to the Alpine pastures!
25 July 2010
It is an event of a special art: Entertainment is provided and delicious lamb dishes arrange for an eventful sunday afternoon at the Hauser Kaibling station.
