The market town of Windischgarsten is the centre of the Pyhrn-Priel holiday region.
Historic manor houses and pretty shops are just as popular attractions as the wide range of cultural and leisure activities on offer.Every year on 5 December, mysterious figures gather in Windischgarsten . They are getting ready for the Niglo parade, which only takes place here. This exclusivity even earned the procession, which was first described more than 150 years ago, an entry on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage. Many of the participating figures and their traditional costumes and masks can only be found here in the Garstner Valley. Fancy something really special? Then head to this historic Advent event!
