Laternenumzug auf die Festung Hohensalzburg

At the night fortress Hohensalzburg, there has always been a very special atmosphere. We invite children with their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to join us for a little lantern parade up to the castle. Bring your own lanterns with electric lighting, and we will walk up together. Along the way, we will sing songs and listen to stories. To conclude, there will be children's punch in the castle courtyard to warm and strengthen us.

Participation free of charge
Registration: directly here via the website, by phone at +43 662 84 24 30 - 14, or by email at office@festung-hohensalzburg.at

Registration possible until November 5

Please make sure to use only lanterns with electric lights (no open flame!!!)

Please note that the footpath to the fortress (about 100 meters in altitude) can be steep and slippery in parts. Please wear suitable footwear and warm clothing!
