It seems that there is a fest for everything in Germany: fish fest, onion fest, pumpkin fest, and, this past weekend, kraut fest! Cabbage looks a lot different in Germany than it does in the States.
I love the fest outfits these children were wearing as they processed down the street, holding ribbons attached to a head of cabbage!
It was a gorgeous fall day in the 70s.
Below is one of the specialties we sampled: "filderkraut mit schupflnudeln." I admit it doesn't look too appetizing, but it is pretty good! It is made in a huge skillet and served warm. Jim also tried a kraut burger.
All of these fests are very family-friendly. Drew enjoyed many "fahrts" (not what you're thinking...it means "rides" in German!) on these carousel type rides.
We took the train to and from the fest.
