Oberkaseralm, Mountain pasture and architectural heritage monument in Bavaria, Germany.
Oberkaseralm is a mountain farm settlement at around 1,150 meters high with traditional wooden buildings common to the Alpine region. The structures include cattle sheds, cheese-making rooms, and living quarters that work together as a functioning farm community.
Mountain farming here started several centuries ago as seasonal pasture for local herders. Over time the location became a protected heritage site preserving agricultural traditions of the region.
The farm buildings are rooted in the mountain way of life, showing how people here work with animals and land. Visitors can watch the daily rhythm of Alpine farming, from caring for cattle to making cheese by hand.
Marked hiking trails reach the farm year-round, though sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended. Basic food services and accommodations are available for visitors wanting to stay and experience the place.
Cheese-making still follows old methods here that often surprise visitors from the modern world. Close attention reveals the handcrafted skills that keep this tradition alive.
