The fifth season in the mountains of Abtenau in Tennengau
Advent in Abtenau, with its rural Christmas market and the Advent markets, is a special highlight in the Tennengau region during the contemplative pre-Christmas period in Salzburg. Fragrant Christmas bakeries, handmade artwork, Christmas decorations, Christmas tree ornaments, and culinary delicacies are on offer. Various Advent concerts also invite visitors to experience the pre-Christmas spirit and this peaceful time of year firsthand.
We look forward to Advent with all its events and traditions
The Advent season begins with the “Abtenauer Christmas Roas around the Arlerhof” and the “Voglauer Advent”.
Traditionally, on December 5th, the Krampuses and their St. Nicholas arrive at the market square. Christmas markets offer handicrafts, monastic works, pottery products and delicacies at beautifully decorated wooden stalls. The nativity scenes by local artists can also be admired, as well as a life-size "wooden nativity scene".
In the Christkindl post office, lovely angels help the children formulate and write their wish lists. The letters are sealed with a seal and forwarded to the Christ Child. The Abtenau tower blowers provide the background music for the mountain advent. Horse-drawn carriages wait for visitors along the market square to be able to whisk them off into the magnificent winter landscape.
The popular "Advent in the mountains“ takes place at the both weekends 23 & 24.11.2024 November 30.11 and 01.12.2024 November & XNUMX December XNUMX.
This is considered a special highlight every year “Abtenau Advent Singing” in the parish church of Abtenau, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. In the heart of the Salzburg mountains, choirs and folk musicians perform a pre-Christmas symphony. A true feast for the senses: the beautifully decorated parish church, the contemplative scent of incense, and the Christmas sounds of various musicians.
Let yourself be infected by the pre-Christmas atmosphere and enjoy the Advent season in Abtenau!
