Wildsaufest Hüttersdorf

Scout Tradition on the Edge of the Saarland Forest

The Wildsaufest of the "Albert Schweitzer" Hüttersdorf Scout troop is one of the most original club festivals in the Saarland. It takes place at the "Lambarene" troop home in Hellenfloß near Hüttersdorf – a scout camp in the "Katzloch" forest area. The troop has been active in Hüttersdorf for decades and finances a large part of its youth work with the festival.

Self-Built Beechwood Grill and Four Wild Boars

The culinary highlight is the beechwood grill built by the troop itself, on which two wild boars are grilled on Saturday evening at 7 PM and two more on Sunday lunchtime. The wild boar is the festival's trademark – fresh, regional, and in an atmosphere that cannot be compared to restaurants. Side dishes, salads, and Saarländisch bread are also served.

Cocktails, Guinness Happy Hour, and Café

Throughout the festival, there are affordable cocktails and colorful fruit juice mixes for the younger ones. On Saturday between 6 PM and 8 PM, the Guinness Happy Hour is on. In the afternoons, the coffee and cake counter is open, run by parents and friends of the troop.

Tombola with Hot Air Balloon Ride as Main Prize

A special feature is the tombola, whose main prize is traditionally a hot air balloon ride, donated by the Kreissparkasse Saarlouis. In addition, there is a classic Saarländisch nail-driving competition (two people hammer a nail into a tree stump – whoever sinks it faster wins) and a slideshow about the scouts' youth work.

Hüttersdorf and the Hochwald Region

Hüttersdorf is a district of the municipality of Schmelz in the Saarlouis district, on the transition to the Hochwald. The rural location – between forests, meadows, and orchards – makes the Lambarene troop home the perfect place for an authentic Saarländisch summer festival. Visitors to the Wildsaufest can complement their Saarländisch day with a hike in the Hochwald or a visit to the nearby Litermont legend trail.
