Häg-Ehrsberg: Harvest Festival in the Angenbach Valley

Häg-Ehrsberg is located in the Angenbach Valley. A prominent cultural landmark is the harvest festival, also known as “Hinterhag.” It has been celebrated on the first weekend of October for many decades. This recurring seasonal date gives you a specific point of reference when planning your trip if you are interested in local festival traditions.

Hinterhag and Schäfig festival grounds

The Schäfig festival grounds are located in the Ehrsberg district of the municipality of Häg-Ehrsberg. This clearly identifies the event venue within the municipality. For Friday, October 2, 2026, the festival program listed “Beer meets brass band music”: a guided tasting of selected Rothaus beers, stories about the art of brewing, and a matching light meal. The event combines a tasting with stories about brewing; its 2026 date is specific. If you are planning a visit around the festival, it is best to distinguish between the long-standing festival date on the first weekend of October and the program items for each year’s edition.

Culture and wine trails in Lörrach

Lörrach is in southwestern Baden-Württemberg, in the Markgräflerland region, right on the Swiss border and close to the neighboring city of Basel. As a distinct cultural and urban destination, Lörrach offers different points of interest for planning your trip: the Dreiländermuseum Lörrach has a permanent exhibition covering around 1,000 square meters. The Lörrach Sculpture Trail runs through the city and features 23 sculptures, fountains, and monuments created by renowned sculptors.

The Burghof Lörrach’s cultural program also caters to a range of interests: Burghof Lörrach GmbH organizes the international STIMMEN Festival each year. The Burghof’s program includes singing and music, dance, cabaret, literature, and children’s theater. The Lörrach weekly market, which has been running since 1403, offers a different historical perspective. In Lörrach, therefore, live performances, public art, and market history sit side by side, while in Häg-Ehrsberg the harvest festival is the clearly identified seasonal event.

For scenery and winegrowing, look to Tüllinger Berg in Lörrach. From Lörrach-Tüllingen, the Tüllinger Wine Trail links the Riehen Wine Trail with the Weiler Wine Trail. The interconnected wine trails on Tüllinger Berg pass through around 90 hectares of vineyards, including the “Riehener Schlipfer,” “Tüllinger Sonnenbrunnen,” “Weiler Schlipf,” “Haltinger Stiege,” and “Ötlinger Sonnhole” vineyard sites. The Tüllinger Wine Trail offers views of the Wiese and Rhine valleys and insights into the work of winegrowers throughout the year. This makes it a distinctly different focus from the festival-related event in Häg-Ehrsberg.

Choose the right focus for your search

If the harvest festival in Häg-Ehrsberg is the main focus of your trip, plan around the first weekend of October and check the relevant year’s edition for specific program items. The tasting on October 2, 2026, is a dated program item. If you are instead interested in the museum, sculpture trail, market, live performances, or wine trails, consider Lörrach as a separate destination. This lets you tailor your search to your travel interests without assuming any particular accommodation features.
