Häg-Ehrsberg and the Harvest Festival

Häg-Ehrsberg offers a clear time reference for planning your trip: the Harvest Festival, also known as “Hinterhag,” has been celebrated on the first weekend of October for many decades. When planning to attend a particular event, you should also check its specific date.

“Hinterhag” Harvest Festival and program

The Friday program on October 2, 2026, included “Bier meets Blasmusik”: a guided tasting of selected Rothaus beers, with stories about the art of brewing and a suitable snack. This information relates to the 2026 program; if you are planning a trip around a particular event, check its date for the relevant festival year.

The recurring festival date and the dated event offer different kinds of guidance: the first weekend of October narrows down the travel period, while Friday, October 2, 2026, gives the specific date of the tasting. This lets you distinguish between the general occasion and a particular event when planning.

Festival grounds and location in the Angenbach Valley

The Schäfig festival grounds are in the district of Ehrsberg in the municipality of Häg-Ehrsberg; the municipality itself is in the Angenbach Valley. For orientation, it is useful to distinguish between the three: Häg-Ehrsberg is the municipality, Ehrsberg the district, and Schäfig the grounds. If you are looking for a hotel for the festival, you can use the municipality as your destination and the festival grounds as a specific location reference.

Lörrach as a wider travel destination

The wider travel destination of Lörrach is in southwestern Baden-Württemberg, in the Markgräflerland region, directly on the Swiss border and close to the neighboring city of Basel. The permanent exhibition at the Dreiländermuseum Lörrach covers around 1,000 square meters. The Lörrach Sculpture Trail runs through the city and features 23 sculptures, fountains and monuments created by renowned sculptors.

The exhibition and the sculpture trail offer different cultural experiences: a permanent exhibition covering around 1,000 square meters and a route through the city featuring the sculptures, fountains and monuments mentioned above. They bring together a clearly defined exhibition space and art in an urban setting as distinct themes.

The Burghof Lörrach cultural program includes singing and music, dance, cabaret, literature and children’s theater. Burghof Lörrach GmbH also organizes the international STIMMEN Festival every year. If this festival is the reason for your trip, check the specific event date when planning. The weekly market in central Lörrach has been running since 1403.

The wine trails on Tüllinger Berg offer another distinct focus. Starting in Lörrach-Tüllingen, the Tüllinger Wine Trail links the Riehener Wine Trail with the Weiler Wine Trail. Together, the connected trails pass through around 90 hectares of vineyards, including the “Riehener Schlipfer,” “Tüllinger Sonnenbrunnen,” “Weiler Schlipf,” “Haltinger Stiege” and “Ötlinger Sonnhole” vineyard sites. The Tüllinger Wine Trail offers views of the Wiesental and Rhine valleys and insights into the work of winegrowers throughout the year.

When deciding on your trip, you can keep these highlights distinct: the Harvest Festival in Häg-Ehrsberg takes place on the first weekend of October, while Lörrach’s attractions range from urban culture and market traditions to wine trails.
