Its story
Yünümböget is a shepherds' festival said to have been held for about 800 years in the villages of Hasanpaşa and Bayramlar in Tefenni. At the end of the summer grazing season the sheep are washed and handed back to their owners; this tradition is traced to Turkish nomadic culture of Central Asian origin. The festival aims to foster solidarity between villagers and shepherds and to instill a love of animals in children. It is a unique event for those who want to see rural life up close.
