One of our first real Swiss experiences

Fall is already here and apparently it means pumpkins in Switzerland. I mean a LOT of pumpkins. Newspapers and magazines are full of articles about how/where to pick up pumpkins as well as a ton of recipes how to prepare them.
So last weekend we visited a Pumpkin Festival (Kürbis Festival) in Rothenburg close to Lucerne.
The farm is huge with a lot of animals, fruits and vegetables. Now it's the season of pumpkins and apples.
















You can not only check out the hundreds of different kind of pumpkins an buy whichever you want, but you can also taste the home made pumpkin cake and soup along with the sausages the family also prepares there. It was great!


















Kids (strictly with parents) can go around in a labyrinth and answer several questions about animals and veggies. We also got into the labyrinth mainly because this was the place where you could pick some apples but to be honest, after the 10th questions I lost my enthusiasm and just wanted to get out. Unfortunately though you have to go through the whole labyrinth of almost 2 km because you cannot just get out. Oh well, I guess I am not a kid anymore..
