A farmer pets a cow during the cattle downhill from the Alps during the so-called Viehscheid drive on September 11, 2015 near the village of Bad Hindelang, southern Germany. During the traditional "Almabtrieb" event, cow herds are brought from alpine pastures, where they stay during the summer, to their stables in the valley.
