Kirschenmarkt in Breitenbrunn: a festival of delights and tradition!
What a festive day in Breitenbrunn on Lake Neusiedl! On May 31, 2025, the cherry and pleasure market will take place on the main square from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and there is a lot to celebrate. It is not only the annual highlight for all lovers of fresh cherries and regional treats, but also an anniversary: ten years ago the cherry market was last held here. The event is a tribute to a long tradition, because cherry cultivation has been operated in this region since the 18th century.
Popular and threatened: The Leithaberger Edelkirche
The region is known for its noble cherry types, including very special rarities such as the Breitenbrunn Bolaga and the Donnerskirchner Blaukirsche. Various initiatives promote the preservation of eight threatened cherry types. The Association of Easy Region Leithaberger Edelkirsche has been committed to preserving old cherry tree stocks by using the harvest by hand and processing into exquisite products, such as cherry balm in the cherry and cherry bread. Here is conjured up what that takes!
fresh cherries and culinary specialties
Of course, visitors come: inside also at their expense. Fresh cherries, cherry whirlpools and cherry frizzants are available in the stalls. The regional producers include the Gartner Bioimkerei, who traces honey and Met. The Seewinkler Bio-Tofu and many other providers also enrich the offer. The Hoppi Galoppi brass music from Jois provides the musical background - you just can't sit still!
children's program and ceremony
For the little visitors: there is a colorful program inside: from face painting to a cherry puck competition to creative handicrafts. For single people and families, it is guaranteed that everyone gets their money's worth. And the highlight of the day: a ceremony for the 100th anniversary of the Siegendorf elementary school, which is opened by director Silvia Mühlgaszner.
culture and enjoyment combined
In addition to all the enjoyment options, the Leithage Mountains region can also score with regard to its breathtaking landscape. Hikers and cyclists are cordially invited to power through the cultural landscape and snack on the ripe cherries of trees on a public reason.
