Medieval spectacle

Ober Erlosen, Hinwil

The largest medieval spectacle in Switzerland: jousting tournaments, goods and crafts market, medieval gastronomy, jugglers, minstrels - the Middle Ages to marvel at and experience!

Listen, you people, hurry up, hurry up!

Every year on the weekend after Ascension Day, the venerable Obererlosen in Hinwil becomes the setting for the largest medieval spectacle in the Swiss Confederation! Around 1000 participants set out to present you with a magnificent spectacle and transport you to the heart of the Middle Ages.

Listen to the most magnificent highlights:
The great gymnastics by day: Noble warriors in gleaming armor fight on horseback for glory and honor.

Horses, knights, fire: the nocturnal jousting tournament is a mighty spectacle when fire and shadows accompany the deeds of the heroes.

Medieval clubs from near and far:
Experience what life was once like! Visit the armory, take a look into the steaming cooking pots, admire old craftsmanship, visit the falconer, listen to exciting stories at Märlin or dare to take a look into the dark torture cellars of Rittolas - if you have the courage!

Eat and drink as it was done in the Middle Ages:
The food mile beckons with suckling pigs, knights' skewers, quarkinis, waffles, crêpes and gelati. Get your food from the cauldrons simmering over the open fire.

The taverns of Turnei:
Golden mead, sweet honey wine, knight's wines, berry wines, beers and mysterious spritzers such as the torturer's servant or the mystical green fairy flow here. Every palate is sure to find its pleasure here!

Make a note in your chronicles:
Come in droves, in splendid garb or as your hearts desire, and seek your fortune for three days in Obererlosen. The call of the Middle Ages resounds - may you follow it and experience a festival that you will never forget!

Come on, good people - the spectacle is calling!
