Irschen, Österreich - The herbal village Irschen becomes the center for nature closeness, traditional knowledge and regional joie de vivre for two days. On July 5, 2025, the 24th Irschner herbal festival opens, which has a diverse program of lectures, tours, music and market stalls for visitors. The ceremonial start was carried out by KMV chairman Johann Ackerer, State Councilor Sara Schaar, the mayors Michael Maier and Manfred Dullnig and regional representatives.
The warm herbs under the fragrance of domestic herbs are characterized by the warm atmosphere of the festival. Schaar, who together with Alfred Tiefnig, the herbal village ambassador, who attended festival, emphasizes the importance of the event for regionality, sustainability and social cohesion within the community. "It is a piece of identity that combines natural knowledge and joie de vivre," she emphasized in her speech.
highlights of the festival
The highlights of the weekend include lectures by renowned personalities such as Eckart Mandler from Slow Food Carinthia, the health doctor Georg Lexer and herbal teacher Eva Tragner. These experts bring traditional knowledge and modern insights into the medicinal plant science and provide valuable information on the use of local herbs.
In addition, naturopathicist Annette Wallner organizes guided tours through the show garden, where visitors can experience the diversity and use of the herbs up close. Musical contributions from the Irschner Böhmische and Tobacco Road Blues Band ensure a lively mood and enrich the festival experience. The participants can stock up on the market with natural cosmetics, craft and regional specialties.
traditional medicinal herbs in context
The Irschner herbal festival not only reflects the local culture, but also reminds of the rich tradition of European medicinal herbs. This tradition has been strongly suppressed over centuries, especially in the Middle Ages. Many people who have been referred to as witches or wizards lost their knowledge and have been persecuted. Nowadays, there is often a lack of well -founded information about the effects of herbs, while modern science has difficulties in providing comprehensive explanations.
An interesting counterpart to this is the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is based on exact observations of nature and pursues a systematic approach. People in the West are increasingly trying to integrate western herbs into the Chinese thinking model. The progress in this area could enable new knowledge about the use and effect of local medicinal herbs in the coming years, as explained in the publication of complemedis.
The 24th Irschner herbal festival is not only a festival of joy and celebration, but also a platform for the exchange about the valuable knowledge of regional plants and its use in everyday life.
