Come and See the Vegetables
Where: Dithmarschen, Germany
Cabbage tourism. That's a phrase we never expected to read or type, but there are niches for every kind of traveler these days, and it's just been brought to our attention that we missed the opening of a very special cabbage festival.
Yep, we failed to tell you that the Kohltage or Cabbage Days festival began in September in northern Germany's town of Dithmarschen. September 19, in fact, marked the cutting of the first head of cabbage (ouch), followed by a festival involving cabbage dishes of every imaginable kind, cabbage bread, cabbage liquor and a giant pyramid of cabbages in the town square. You'll have to wait until the same time next year for the festivities to start up again.
We're sure cabbage tourism is something that could catch on, and obviously the Bosnian town of Bijeljina agrees, with their plans to build the giant cabbage. So let's forget eco-tourism, medical tourism and all those other sensible sounding reasons to go places and instead focus on a travel diet of cabbages. Healthy and...you know, good for your system.
