Advent Markets
Advent time in Austria
Advent time in Austria is the time for reflection, love and giving. Traditional preparations for the Festival of Love take place at the Advent markets in St. Wolfgang, Strobl and St. Gilgen: probably the most enchanting Christmas markets in Austria.
Be greeted by the floating lantern on Lake Wolfgang: a light dedicated to peace. The three villages of the Lake Wolfgang Advent: St. Gilgen, Strobl and St. Wolfgang all evoke a special wintry magic and atmosphere during pre-Christmas preparations in Austria.
Stroll through the narrow streets of St. Wolfgang looking at the artfully crafted mostly hand made goods and regional Austrian produce. There are lovingly decorated gingerbread cookies, bees wax candles, handmade soaps, hand carved Austrian cribs and nativity scenes that are on display in the cute little alpine huts scattered around St. Wolfgang.
