About the event
The aim of the event is to combine Advent on the Annaberg, the traditional Krampus run of the Koglteufeln and the winter farmers' market in an atmospheric event. The existing infrastructure of the Ötscher-Basis will be used to the best possible effect to create a high-quality and authentic Advent experience.
Another goal—especially from the perspective of the nature park—is to promote regional development and to integrate the Alpine Convention's “Reading Mountains” campaign into the event program in a meaningful way.
