Bavarian Tradition & Culture

Bavarian culture is reflected in our daily lives, in our folk costumes and festivals, and in traditions which are alive and well.

Bavarian culture is reflected in our daily lives, in our folk costumes and festivals, and in traditions which are alive and well. And of course, we are delighted to share all this with you. Visit one of our many museums, for example, in which important exhibits attest to times long past. Our heritage museum, for example, is home to one of the best and most comprehensive collections of Alpine folk art.

Join us as we celebrate at one of our lively village festivals, or gaze on in amazement as you see the power that is harnessed to raise the maypole. If you want to become more familiar with our culture, enjoy a performance at Ruhpolding’s very own Folk Theatre.
