Häg-Ehrsberg lies in the Angenbachtal and is the setting for a harvest festival with a long tradition. If you would like to plan your stay around a specific cultural occasion, you will find a clear local connection here: the festival is also called “Hinterhag” and is celebrated on the first weekend in October. There is also a named festival site and a dated example programme that offers insight into how the festival is organised.

The Hinterhag Harvest Festival

The harvest festival in Häg-Ehrsberg has been celebrated on the first weekend in October for many decades. Its recurring timing makes autumn a fitting season if you would like to plan your trip around this tradition. For specific planning, it is worth keeping an eye on the event dates for each year. The traditional festival name “Hinterhag” also gives the occasion its own local designation.

The Schäfig festival site is in the Ehrsberg district of the municipality of Häg-Ehrsberg. This helps locate the event venue within the municipality. When looking for a holiday apartment, Häg-Ehrsberg may be the right location for you if the harvest festival is to be the focus of your stay. The information about the festival site also helps you place the named district and the event in context.

A dated programme featuring beer and brass music

One specific example is the programme for Friday, 2 October 2026: it included “Bier meets Blasmusik” (Beer meets Brass Music), a guided tasting of selected Rothaus beers. Stories about the art of brewing and a matching snack were also planned. This programme item therefore combines a tasting with stories about brewing and a suitable dish. The date applies to this specific programme; the long-standing celebration on the first weekend in October should be considered separately.

If you are interested in the harvest festival, this distinction helps you tell the long-established occasion apart from an individual, dated programme item. The tasting is one example from the 2026 programme, while the celebration on the first weekend in October is described as a long-standing tradition.

Häg-Ehrsberg and Lörrach as distinct points of reference

The municipality of Häg-Ehrsberg lies in the Angenbachtal. Together with the local harvest festival, this provides a specific focus for choosing a destination: a municipality in the valley and a tradition rooted there. The wider destination of Lörrach offers other, distinct cultural and landscape themes. Lörrach is in the southwest of Baden-Württemberg, in the Markgräflerland, directly on the Swiss border and close to the neighbouring city of Basel. This information relates to Lörrach, not to the characteristics of Häg-Ehrsberg.

Culture and wine trails in the wider destination of Lörrach

The Three Countries Museum in Lörrach has a permanent exhibition covering around 1,000 square metres. The Lörrach Sculpture Trail in the city also leads to 23 sculptures, fountains and monuments created by renowned sculptors. Other cultural offerings include singing and music, dance, cabaret, literature and children’s theatre in the Burghof Lörrach programme. Burghof Lörrach GmbH also organises the international STIMMEN Festival every year. Lörrach’s weekly market has been running since 1403.

The wine trails on Tüllinger Berg are also associated with Lörrach. Starting from Lörrach-Tüllingen, the Tüllinger Weinweg connects the Riehener Weinweg with the Weiler Weinweg. Together, the linked wine trails pass through around 90 hectares of vineyards in the Riehener Schlipfer, Tüllinger Sonnenbrunnen, Weiler Schlipf, Haltinger Stiege and Ötlinger Sonnhole wine-growing areas. Along the way, they offer views of the Wiesental and Rhine valleys and insights into the work of winegrowers throughout the year. These attractions form a distinct regional focus alongside Häg-Ehrsberg’s local festival connection.

The local festival tradition and Lörrach’s distinct themes can thus be clearly distinguished from one another.
