Krautfest in Echterdingen, Germany Oct 2025

Описание: Krautfest in Echterdingen – Germany’s Biggest Cabbage Festival!”


Hey everyone! Today we’re in Echterdingen, Germany, just outside Stuttgart — for one of the quirkiest and most beloved festivals in southern Germany — the Krautfest!

The Krautfest — or Filderkrautfest — celebrates the region’s pride and joy: the Filderkraut, a pointed cabbage that grows only on the Filder plateau. Every October, the town turns into a giant street party packed with local food, music, and traditions.

You can try everything from sauerkraut and stuffed cabbage rolls to Schupfnudeln mit Kraut, Kraut burgers, and even — yes — Kraut cake! 🍰


And it’s not just food. Locals compete in cabbage slicing contests, decorate cabbage heads, and show off vintage tractors in the famous Spitzkraut Classics parade.

The vibe here is amazing — it’s all about community, tradition, and fun. Streets are lined with music stages, handmade crafts, and family-friendly activities — perfect for a fall weekend getaway.

Getting here is super easy — just hop on the S-Bahn from Stuttgart to Leinfelden or Echterdingen. Entry is free, and you can spend hours exploring, eating, and enjoying the Swabian hospitality.

The 47th Krautfest runs from October 17th to 19th, 2025. So if you’re in Germany this fall, make sure to check it out — it’s one of the most fun and flavorful festivals you’ll ever experience.
