New Year's Eve bonfire at Lake Hallstatt

Beautiful Traditions for the New Year

The burning of the old year at Lake Hallstatt takes place according to an old custom on December 28 in Obertraun.

At 6:00 PM, a torchlight hike through the snowy winter forest begins. Far away from the stress and hustle of everyday life, you will experience a unique atmosphere at Lake Hallstatt. A mystical, unforgettable evening awaits you.

For children, it is an adventure-filled experience, with a campfire for grilling sausages, and for everyone, a large wish and worry fire. Symbolically burn away the worries and fears of the past year in a huge fire and throw your wishes, thoughts, and resolutions for the coming year into the wish fire so that they may come true.

The burning of the old year will be musically accompanied by a brass group from the local music band Obertraun.
Contribution towards costs: 13 euros (includes torch, sausages, pastries, and a drink).
