Experience Christmas in the Fuschlsee Region
Here in the Fuschlsee Region, the time around Christmas is something rather special. Waiting for Christmas is traditionally accompanied by many customs. Firmly established and authentic, many rituals around the festive season have been preserved and lovingly passed on from generation to generation. Making the Advent wreaths, Krampus runs and Raunächte are all part of the genuine alpine Advent in the Salzkammergut – as are also the many larger and smaller Christkindl markets and Christmas fairs.
Visitors value the quiet, beautiful and genuine atmosphere of our Advent markets and enjoy being enchanted by the scent of fir trees, incense and fresh Christmas biscuits. Treat yourself to a few quiet days and enjoy Christmas in a cosy atmosphere in the Fuschlsee Region in the Province of Salzburg.
