Thanks Fiona. You are right, something so nice about it… My Mum was telling me about an article she read the other day where some people moved to Austria and complained about the noise of the cowbells. An alpine version of the UK story where city people complain about cockrells! :D
Thanks Jazzy! I have been very steeped in culture this weekend, it involved lots of steep moutains and huge gatherings to celebrate the cows coming down to lower pastures in time for winter. Will report back soon! :) xx

That is a great shot! I could use some of those tracking devices to keep track of my goats.
bavaria says
Thank you Teresa! There are plenty of tiny versions for the goats here too! :)
Bibsey Mama says
Great image. I would like to put a bell around Bibsey’s neck sometimes to help me keep her out of mischief. Is that wrong? I’ll get my coat…
bavaria says
I wonder if they actually did use them in days gone by for keeping track of their kids as well! :D

Thanks Jazzy! I have been very steeped in culture this weekend, it involved lots of steep moutains and huge gatherings to celebrate the cows coming down to lower pastures in time for winter. Will report back soon! :) xx
lisa says
oh what are they for?
bavaria says
The cows wear them in the mountains here, it makes it easy for the herders to hear where they are! :D
Herding Cats says
What beautiful cow bells!
bavaria says
They really do make the cows look like Milka Cows! Thank you! :)
helloitsgemma says
gorgeous – did you get one?
bavaria says
Not this time, but I am planning to! :)
Louise Lloyd says
Oooh so glad you had tagged them as I couldn’t guess what they were. I was thinking pots of some kind. As ever a fab photo Emma xx
bavaria says
I guess you could use them as pots if you turned them upside down! :) Thank you! xx
Sonya Cisco says
Great quirky shot- really like it.
bavaria says
Thanks so much Sonya! :)
Singlemarriedmum says
Ding-a-ling! Are they for sale?
bavaria says
They are indeed! :) I was going to get one, but we didn’t go back past that way! Next time! :)
The Mummy Diary says
Fab picture as always, I love the cowbells and the light is fantastic!
bavaria says
Thank you! Funny how something so common in one country is completely appealing to someone from another country! :)
Erica Price says
Cowbells? Quite a collection.
bavaria says
Too many to choose from! Thanks Erica! :)
Emma @mummymummymum says
I’m intrigued..what are they?
bavaria says
Cowbells, and in all shapes and sizes! :) xx
Midlife Singlemum says
Do the cows actually still wear them? We used to see them a lot in Switzerland (we had two or three summer holidays there when I was a child).
bavaria says
They do indeed, in fact I heard plenty of them clanking about in the mountains this weekend, (just got back, hence this is so late!)… :)
