Tradition and modernity
Reister Markt on 26 and 27 August 2017
Eslohe. For over 950 years it has been a tradition to meet every year at the end of August at the "Reister Markt" in Reiste in the Sauerland. It is the oldest animal show in the Sauerland and so the extensive animal show is the heart of the Saturday morning. From 9 o'clock on, the animals are presented to the interested public and the critical eyes of the judges according to the appropriate classification, such as cattle (red and black coloured cows, beef cattle) and horses (warm and cold blooded horses with and without foals, Haflinger, Quarter Horses, Arabians, ponies and donkeys) as well as rabbits and pigeons from the small animal breeding association. The catchment area of the annual district animal show is the districts of Eslohe, Bestwig, Sundern, Meschede and Arnsberg. In addition, the agricultural exhibition shows numerous stands of agricultural traders, suppliers of technology, feed and general agricultural supplies. A fixed component of the Reister Markt is also the Krammarkt with more than 140 stalls in several streets. Here you can buy everything from frying pans to wool socks. Real funfair fun on the large square at the Reister Schützenhalle is just as firmly anchored in the customs of the market. Rides, popcorn stands and, of course, cool drinks invite you to socialize. The grand finale of the festival is the big fireworks display on Sunday evening.

Fascination landscape meets chrome and charm of past years in two stages. The riders on the tour, which is already fully booked, use maps to find their way through the Sauerland landscapes and picturesque half-timbered villages in order to reach their destination quickly. But accelerating isn't everything: On the way, "special tasks" have to be solved if you want to win this tour. Spectators can admire the "Schnauferl" at the start from 09.30 a.m. at the car dealership Gierse & Schöllmann in the "Gewerbegebiet Lake" or from 4 p.m. at the finish on the Paul-Falke-Platz in Schmallenberg.
