Traditional Pentecost Festival in the Bavarian Forest
The Pfingstfest Eppenschlag is celebrated every year at Pentecost and is known beyond the district of Freyung-Grafenau. It is supported by the Festgemeinschaft Eppenschlag, an association of the Eppenschlag Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Winter Sports Club (WSV) Eppenschlag, including its support association. For three days – traditionally from Saturday to Whit Monday – the festival grounds transform into a lively meeting place for the entire village and guests from the surrounding area.
The focus is on the festival tent with brass band music, Bavarian inn culture, and exuberant Pentecost atmosphere. The voluntarily organized clubs provide a varied program that brings together young and old and strengthens the village community.
The municipality of Eppenschlag is located in the Freyung-Grafenau district, nestled in the low mountain landscape of the Bavarian Forest near the National Park. The Pfingstfest is a fixed date in the village's annual calendar and a flagship of local club life.

In the festival tent, brass band music and Bavarian inn culture ensure an exuberant Pentecost atmosphere. The voluntarily organized program brings together young and old and makes the festival a meeting point for the entire village and guests from the region.
