Edition 2025 — Säumerfest Grafenau
From August 1 to 3, 2025, Grafenau and its partner towns along the Golden Road celebrated the Historic Säumerfest. The organizer was FESTevent Grafenau GbR. The three festival venues — Grafenau Town Square, KurErlebnispark BÄREAL, and Haus im Wald — offered a packed program centered around the historic salt trade.
As every year, the grand Säumer procession on Saturday was the highlight, featuring a salt merchant caravan, packhorses, minstrels, and the traditional salt assaying on the town square.
