In Mittenwald, Bavaria, on September 7, 2024, the village comes alive with the familiar bleating of sheep as they make their way through the narrow streets, signaling the end of their time in the high summer pastures. Led by the shepherds and their eager young helpers, the herd moves steadily through the picturesque violin-making village. Dressed in traditional attire, the shepherds' boys confidently walk beside the flock, their wooden staffs in hand, learning the craft from those before them. Villagers gather to watch the procession, sitting outside their homes adorned with vibrant flower boxes, adding a splash of color to the pastoral scene. The rich traditions of this alpine village, nestled in the Bavarian mountains, are on full display as the herd slowly makes its way toward the Schafstadl above the Groblalm.
