Historic Nigloumzug

Unique and eventful - historical Niklospiel (intangible UNESCO cultural heritage) in the centre of Windischgarsten | The parade through the town starts at 6 pm with performances of the special customs on the stage in the town hall courtyard by the local Trachtenverein | atzmueller.wolfg@aon.at

Unique and eventful: the Niglo procession on 5 December is celebrated like this only in Windischgarsten and can look back on a long past.

No wonder, then, that it has been declared an intangible cultural heritage of Austria by UNESCO! Unlike many other Krampus and Perchten runs, however, the focus is not on the evil devil but on goodness in the person of Saint Nicholas. The event is supported by the local Trachtenverein (traditional costume association), which has made it its mission to pass on this special tradition from generation to generation.

Punschstandl open from 5 to 9 pm
