Celebrating Autumn at the Pumpkin Festival in Ludwigsburg

Celebrating Autumn at the Pumpkin Festival in Ludwigsburg

Is that time of the year! Not the Ho-Ho-Ho one, but that time where leaves change colors, forests turn into beautiful orange pastel, sunsets last tenths of minutes and turn into spectacular sky art, and of course pumpkin soup is cooking in all kitchens. Yummy! As much as I am a summer person, I find this period somehow cozy and chill. A slowly transition from nesting to hibernation. What can be a better way to start the autumn, than celebrating it at the pumpkin festival in Ludwigsburg, Germany?

“Our pumpkins are grown primarily in the district of Ludwigsburg. Around 80% come from the Eisenmann fruit farm near Marbach am Neckar, while roughly 20% are grown by pumpkin producers in the greater Stuttgart region. This regional cooperation enables us to reach our goal of offering local produce requiring minimum transport.” * official website.
