Latest event that happens once a year, in September is the Hay festival at Abtenau.

The village celebrates it’s long history of over 900 years with the Hay Festival.

Straw figurines of St George & the dragon, plus his horse of couse!

Most of the events calendar for the summer has now come to an end. But this Friday 6th September, in St Gilgen, we have the Music concert at the Lakeside park.

This is mainly popular ‘Ommpah Music’ Brass band on stage playing lots of Folk music…very foot tapping and the temptation to start dancing is always in view.

For all the summer events and what is happening at the lakeside.

Tracht is a traditional garment (Dirndl & Lederhosen) or a dress code typically associated with Austria and Bavaria. It is the Sunday-best that you would have in your wardrobe. It is mostly worn on special occasions such as important festivals, Easter, Christmas, weddings, etc. They are often richly decorated, and the quality of the work represents a sign of the riches and social status of the person wearing it. In the broadest meaning, it is just synonym for everything you wear, including clothing, jewellery, hairstyle, make-up, accessories and insignia.
