The harvest festival, also known as “Hinterhag,” has been celebrated in Häg-Ehrsberg for many decades on the first weekend in October. The municipality is also located in the Angenbach Valley. These two features offer different points of reference when choosing a destination: the festival points to a recurring time of year, while the valley indicates the town’s location. If you would like to plan your stay around Hinterhag, check the specific dates for the year you have in mind.

Hinterhag: a festival associated with October

The Schäfig festival grounds are in the Ehrsberg district of the municipality of Häg-Ehrsberg. This identifies a specific event location within the municipality. The festival name, recurring date and district give the event a clear local setting.

A dated glimpse of the program: On Friday, October 2, 2026, “Beer meets brass band music” was on the program. It included a guided tasting of selected Rothaus beers, stories about the art of brewing and a matching snack. This program item brought together tasting, storytelling and a meal. The date places it in the 2026 Friday program; for planning a different year, the dates for that year are the ones that matter.

The location in the Angenbach Valley adds a second kind of orientation to the events calendar. The local information therefore answers different questions: the recurring festival date helps with timing, while the valley identifies the municipality’s geographical setting. You can take both into account when choosing where to stay, without defining the town solely by its festival.

Lörrach in the wider destination

The wider destination of Lörrach offers additional, explicitly urban cultural attractions. Lörrach is in the Markgräflerland region in southwestern Baden-Württemberg, directly on the Swiss border and close to the neighboring city of Basel. The Dreiländermuseum Lörrach has a permanent exhibition covering around 1,000 square meters. The Lörrach Sculpture Trail passes through the city and features 23 sculptures, fountains and monuments created by renowned sculptors. The Burghof cultural program includes singing and music, dance, cabaret, literature and children’s theater. In addition, Burghof Lörrach GmbH organizes the international STIMMEN Festival every year. Lörrach’s weekly market has been held since 1403.

The wine trails on Tüllinger Berg also offer a landscape and wine-culture perspective in the wider destination of Lörrach. Starting in Lörrach-Tüllingen, the Tüllingen Wine Trail connects the Riehen Wine Trail with the Weiler Wine Trail. Together, the connected trails run through around 90 hectares of vineyards; the Wine Trail offers views over the Wiesental and Rhine valleys and insights into the work of local winegrowers throughout the year. Lörrach therefore combines urban cultural attractions with wine trails and vineyards, while Häg-Ehrsberg is defined by its harvest festival and its location in the Angenbach Valley.

Your choice depends on which connection you want to shape your stay: the harvest festival and local setting of Häg-Ehrsberg, or the urban culture and wine trails of the wider destination of Lörrach. Then focus your search for holiday apartments on your preferred destination.
