Advent, the most peaceful and contemplative time of the year, has many cherished traditions and customs: The Nussdorf Nativity scene, the Nussdorf Advent window, the Christkindl mailbox at the Bienenhof in Attersee or the Christmas decorated Attergaustraße in St. Georgen will be there again this year. Let the magic of the pre-Christmas season work its magic on you at various Advent events in the region or use the Attersee-Attergau region as a central starting point for numerous Christmas markets and events in the surrounding area. 

Beautiful, traditional Advent markets, living customs and Christmas events increase the anticipation of Christmas.

Baking cookies, building gingerbread houses, snacking on roasted almonds, decorating for Christmas, wrapping presents -- Advent is full of magic and anticipation. If you want to enjoy this special time to the fullest, come to Bad Ischl, because you can only fall in love with the romance of Advent in the imperial town.

Cozy, contemplative, rustic, with many traditional Veranstaltugen like the great Krampuslauf, the beautiful Hallstätter Christkindlmarkt and the romantic Meisteradvent.

The "Advent of the Villages" with its seven Advent markets is both varied and atmospheric. The romantic Advent market in Schloss Fuschl, for example, enchants with its historical ambience, in Fuschl am See there is music, and at the Advent under the lime tree in Faistenau lambs bleat in the living nativity scene.

The picturesque Mondsee in Advent enchants guests and locals alike. The Christmas market in front of the picturesque basilica has a very special, idyllic flair.

The well-known Schloss Ort in Gmunden is the atmospheric setting for the popular Schlösser Advent. The Christmas village of Traunkirchen is a particularly romantic place to spend the time waiting for the Christ Child.

Thousands of lights shine on the Wolfgangsee. Even from afar, the giant floating lantern shines across the lake. With the Wolfgangsee Schifffahrt you can easily reach the three Advent markets in St. Gilgen, Strobl and St. Wolfgang. Wolfgangsee Advent - an Advent like back then.
