What makes it unique is that in no other area north of the Alps, do the chestnut reach full maturity, except here in Unterach, in the beautiful Salzkammergut. **Annual chestnut festival in Unterach am Attersee with numerous delicacies** At the chestnut festival Unteracher restaurateurs and clubs, present delicacies around the chestnut. From chestnut meat pockets, over chestnuts in the bacon coat up to sweet of the chestnut - from this noble chestnut so many culinary delights can be conjured. The offer is rounded off by fine chestnut beer and liquer. Also the musical benefit does not come too briefly. There will be an extensive musical program in various styles such as choir singing, Tanzlmusi, country music and Austropop! And so that the culinary pleasures do not hit the hips too much, one can connect the celebration with a walk by the noble chestnut forest up to the anniversary tree. This was planted on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Josef on 18 August 1908. The tourism association Unterach am Attersee is looking forward to numerous visitors! ### **Program from 2026: FOLGT!** **Culinary delights will be offered by the following businesses and clubs at the festival site:** * El Barrill im Weingartl * Trachtenmusikkapelle Unterach * Ortsbauern Unterach * Sigi's Pub * Restaurant Tauer * Association Lederermayerhaus Project * Ammer Reinhard Fische * Original Schützinger Edelbrände - Johann Aichhorn### **The alternative date in case of bad weather is October 18, 2026!** [ Contact ](#ttgCollapseKontakt) ---------------------------------- **Hauptplatz Unterach** 4866 Unterach am Attersee --- **We speak the following languages** German English [ Event location ](#ttgCollapseVeranstaltungsorte) ---------------------------------------------------- **Hauptplatz Unterach** 4866 Unterach am Attersee [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- [ Prices ](#ttgCollapsePreise) -------------------------------- - voluntary contribution **Payment methods** Cash payment [ Equipment ](#ttgCollapseAusstattung) ---------------------------------------- - Toilet facility [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - All weather - Suitable for groups - Suitable for kids (all ages) - Suitable for pushchairs - Pets allowed - Suitable for teenagers - Suitable for seniors - Suitable for single travelers - Suitable for friends - Suitable for couples - Suitable for children [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information. **other information**- Toilet facility for disabled people [ Discover more ](#ttgCollapseMeineEmpfehlungen) -------------------------------------------------- [ © Open copyright © Copyright: Michael Süß Close copyright ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/204066/628998BCFD2E275119EB50B03A224EB41E09F5A4C13FC91E7E55930166070CF2/edelkastanienwald-mit-seeblick-in-unterach-am-attersee.jpg "Chestnut Forest with Lake View in Unterach am Attersee (© Copyright: Michael Süß)") Sweet Chestnut Forest - Integral nature reserve ](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-poi/detail/400638/sweet-chestnut-forest-integral-nature-reserve.html) [ © Open copyright © Copyright: TVB Attersee-Attergau Close copyright ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/237220/21BC7E9F3EF393962DA44F77B8E8E0209404ACDCA70DEDDD51A3441EDF677644/2020-11-kastanienwald-tvb-attersee-attergau-5.jpg "2020-11-Kastanienwald TVB Attersee-Attergau (5) (© Copyright: TVB Attersee-Attergau)") Nature Trail - Sweet Chestnut Forest ](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-tour/detail/100030/nature-trail-sweet-chestnut-forest.html) 1. 2. powered by [TOURDATA](https://www.tourdata.at "New window") [ ![TOURDATA Logo](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/fileadmin/templates/global/images/Logo-Tourdata.png "TOURDATA Logo") ](https://www.tourdata.at "New window")
