Do you know what hay smells like?

This year's HayArt Festival will take place from August 27th till 29th in St. Martin, Salzburg.

Every year, during the festival entitled "HayART - art from hay", the Lammertal stages the world's biggest procession of hay figures.

Weeks prior to the event, private individuals, clubs and local artists begin creating these hay figures. Built over a wooden skeleton, these frames, some of which are as much as 4 metres in height, are wrapped in hay with the utmost artistry. Finally, the figures are partially dressed up and painted.

Aside from great imagination during the planning phase, the project demands technical know-how and excellent handiwork from the artists as they gradually realize their vision.
During the months of September and October, the figures can all be viewed
