Rudolfingen Kürbisbeleuchtung
Village Lit up by Pumpkins
.
Sadly, the Halloween spirit and the theme of pumpkins, could not be continued this year by a trip to the Rudolfingen Kürbisbeleuchtung as it was cancelled due to Covid. Usually it takes place on the first Friday and Saturday of November each year.
Rudolfingen Illuminated only by Pumpkin Light
The whole village usually turns off the lights from 6pm and is illuminated only by pumpkins! Everywhere you will find displays of pumpkins of different shapes and sizes. Hundreds have been painstakingly carved into various characters or sculptures and lit in different ways. The atmosphere is festive and very magical. Do wrap up warmly though as it can get cold.
A Celebration with Pumpkin Specialities and Local Wine
Pop up restaurants are set up to tempt you with their delicacies after you’ve walked around the village and surveyed the great collection of pumpkins. You can taste pumpkin soup and local specialities including wine from the village vineyards.
Transport From Zurich to Rudolfingen
There are good transport links to Rudolfingen with a Postbus connection from the local stations and there is also (paid) parking available if you drive by car. For more information on the Rudolfingen Kürbisbeleuchtung please go to the Rudolfingen website.
