The 14th Great Transhumance Festival took place on Saturday, October 4, 2025, in Muhlbach-sur-Munster. Starting at 9:30 AM, an ecumenical celebration with choristers, Alpine horns, and 'Hautes Chaumes' horn players opened the day in the Protestant church. Around 11 AM, the first herds appeared in the village streets, offering a colorful and sonorous spectacle. The traditional Munster soup was served in front of the Schlitte museum.
