Krampus
Being a Christian country Austria has some very nice traditions in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Notably baking (and eating) cookies, getting together with friends and families, enjoying warm spiced wine and lighting candles everywhere. So generally it is supposed to be a time of peace, quiet and inner reflection.more
Palm Sunday
We have some great traditions in Kärnten. For example Schappen, where young children are supposed to whip grownups with special twigs to wish them a long an healthy life.[1] Easter, as the central christian feast,[2] also comes with many nice traditions of it’s own. One of the cooler one’s is on Palm Sunday, where the last person to awake gets to be called Palmeserl[3] and has to live with the shame for the next year.more
