Unique spectacle: Children's Krampus run in Hallstatt

The event, which is carried out by the local Krampus association "D'Hirlatzer Teufel", offers an exciting show with the childlike Krampuses and the visit of St. Nicholas. Although it is a Krampus run, the focus is on representation for children, which provides an exciting but not overly scary experience for the little ones. After the Krampus show, St. Nicholas comes to reward the children and bring them sweet surprises.

The event is known for its atmospheric staging, which often includes a fire show and an elaborate display of the self-carved masks and fur costumes.

You can experience a piece of authentic customs that have their roots in ancient alpine traditions. The event takes place on the atmospheric market square in the historic centre of Hallstatt and thus fits perfectly into the magical Advent season.

The physical well-being of the visitors is provided with a serving of warm drinks and other culinary delicacies.
