Krampus and Nicolaus
A great and unique tradition in many villages of Osttirol: „KRAMPUSSE“.
Wearing devilish masks und furs, these frightening figures roam through the streets on Dec. 6th, the real day of St. Nicolas.
They also create an enormous noise with their huge bells – and everyone is really scared.
