The winter solstice has always been celebrated by wide variety of cultures, when the death of the old and the birth of the new year is feted.
The night between the 21st and the 22nd December is the longest night of the year and the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. After the shortest day of the year, the sun gradually regains strength and the days become longer. A new year is beginning.
The Tourist Association BRUCK FUSCH | GROSSGLOCKNER organized together with the cultural association Tauriska Fusch a torchlight hike.
From the Tourist Info Fusch we went through the snowy village to the Isidor Griessner Park.
The cozy torchlight hike through the snow-covered Fusch valley was accompanied by atmospheric music and many other small highlights.
The final stage was the Isidor Griessner Park, where wish branches were thrown into the fire and Perchten drove away all the old burdens while drinking punch and enjoying a convivial get-together.
