On September 7, 2024, in Mittenwald, Germany, the annual sheep drive sees the flock return from the high summer pastures. The narrow streets of the violin-making village bustle with the bleating of sheep, their soft, woolly forms moving in unison as they are guided toward the Schafstadl above the Groblalm. Among the crowd of sheep, a young shepherd boy, donned in traditional attire, confidently steers the herd with a wooden staff in hand, his small figure blending into the larger pastoral scene. The houses along the route, adorned with colorful flowers, frame this timeless tradition, connecting the rhythms of modern village life with ancient pastoral practices. The young shepherds, alongside their older counterparts, play an important role, their participation a symbol of tradition being passed from one generation to the next. In the bright midday sun, this scene captures more than just a pastoral moment; it reflects the essence of rural Bavarian life, where community, tradition, and nature intersect in a display of both continuity and culture.
