Krampus time in the Rauris valley
The Krampus time in the Raurisertal is a particularly impressive tradition deeply rooted in Salzburg customs.
Every year around December 5th, the "Toifin," as they are called here, accompanied by St. Nicholas, parade through the Raurisertal to drive away the evil spirits of winter. With their intricately carved masks and loud bells, they create goosebumps and reflect the centuries-old customs.
Those lucky enough to experience this unique tradition in the Raurisertal can feel the power of tradition and the magic of the Alps.
