Origin traditions in Terenten

S'Terner Schmelzpfandl (The Terento Melting Pot)

Since time immemorial, Terento-Terenten on the Sonnenstraße the Sun Road of the Val Pusteria-Pustertal valley has been regarded as the bread basket of the Val Pusteria. Situated on the Sonnenstraße, it had always been very fertile. Farmers planted their grain and other crops there. In the Val di Terento-Terner Tal, the grain was then ground into flour in the water-driven grain mills and prepared into delicious dishes at the farms.

Preserving this tradition and authentically and genuinely providing the farm culture to both locals and guests is the goal of “s’Terner Schmelzpfandl” (the “Terento Melting Pot”). For that reason, numerous events are organized through the course of the year:

Sowing
Just like in Grandfather’s day, the fields are plowed and harrowed, and then the grain is sown by hand.

Mill Festival
The grain is processed into flour in the grain mills, some of which are five hundred years old. With playing, music, and culinary delicacies, the Sunday turns into an adventure for the entire family!

Harvest Time
The grain and crops are ripe for the harvest! With a scythe and a hoe, the harvest is gathered, just like in the time of our grandfathers. Diligent hands tie the sheaves, set up wooden racks on which to lay them out, and hang the flax seeds to dry on traditional implements. In order to fully and completely experience the harvest time, the day begins with a hike to a farm, baking bread together in the farmhouse oven, a visit to the grain mill, and then the harvest of the crops in the field.

Return of the Livestock (second saturday of october)
For the cows, calves, sheep, and donkeys, the summer freshness comes to an end on the Alpine pasture! A procession through the village, floats, thigh-slapping folk dancers, and whip-cracking turn the event into a colorful occasion.

Terento Farm Cuisine (end of october)
Farmhouses and hospitality establishments serve up local rustic specialties. Farm museums, hikes to farms, baking bread in the farmhouse oven, donkey trekking, and baking and cooking courses offer ten full days of variety!
