Wellness for the soul

Advent in Bad Hofgastein

The snow crunches underfoot. The mulled wine warms your hands and stomach.

The atmosphere in the center of Bad Hofgastein is pre-Christmas and festive. The shutters are festively decorated. It smells of mulled wine and punch. Burning logs in the fireplaces provide some warmth and light. The carolers are just lining up, smiling to each other and a few moments later a gentle Christmas carol is heard.
