Events in spring
Living traditions and customs:
Events as colourful as spring in the Salzkammergut
When the snow finally thaws away, spring slowly moves into the Salzkammergut. Events in spring in the Salzkammergut are characterised by a unique mixture of deep-rooted traditions, Easter customs and the awakening of nature in the World Heritage region. Highlights are Liebstatt Sunday, traditional Easter customs, the erection of the maypole and the Daffodil Festival, often combined with alpine spring awakening. In addition, spring offers the opportunity to combine spring skiing on the Dachstein with spring-like walks in the valley. Whether sporty or traditional, there is a lot going on between March and May. We have compiled the most beautiful events in spring for you below.
