Solstice bonfire in Hallstatt
Tradition on the beach
A beautiful tradition in the Salzkammergut is the lighting of the solstice fire. In Hallstatt, the solstice bonfire is lit on the bathing island directly on Lake Hallstatt. And this custom has a long history; Since the 12th century, solstice fires have been known as protection against evil demons. At that time, the boys of the village went from farm to farm singing before the solstice and begged for logs for the fire. There are still a few surviving verses that the children sang. And in our time, locals and guests meet for exuberant celebrations. With traditional live music and down-to-earth dishes such as bratwurst or stick bread. Are you in? The organizers are looking forward to seeing you. Enjoy a traditional summer evening at one of the most beautiful places in Hallstatt. All holidaymakers and guests are cordially invited. Come by and celebrate with us.
