On December 6, 2023, there will be a spooky spectacle in the Seefeld pedestrian zone. From 19:00, 22 Krampus groups from all over Austria, South Tyrol and Switzerland join forces to provide some truly spine-chilling moments.

Younger visitors in particular can hardly wait for the Krampuses to leave their hiding places and reveal their larvae. But at the latest when the first muffled bells and the clicking of the rods can be heard at the Hotel Klosterbräu, even the last cheeky little one falls silent and gladly seeks shelter behind mom and dad or another strong companion. Because then the Tuifl and Krampus are on the loose in Seefeld!
