Kerwa in the Wiesenttal
Muggendorf, picturesquely situated in the Wiesenttal valley, is one of the most traditional places in Franconian Switzerland and a popular climatic health resort. The Muggendorfer Kerwa is part of the dense network of Franconian Kirchweihen and is traditionally celebrated over five days on the second weekend in August.
Customs and Program
As is customary at Franconian Kirchweihen, the raising of the Kerwabaum, the dancing of the Kerwapaare (festival couples), brass band music, and convivial hospitality characterize the festival. A varied program of music, dance, and Franconian conviviality unfolds in the village center over the five days.
