Lienz Advent market

"Advent in Lienz - Once again be a child." Under this motto, the main square and the Liebburg, the town hall of the city, transform into the unique Lienz Advent market during the pre-Christmas period: artistically decorated stalls, fairy lights, fire pits, the scent of gingerbread, Kiachln, mulled wine and hot tea, accompanied by atmospheric sounds - these are the ingredients that make the Lienz Advent market special.

Once again be a child

Original Lienz Lebzelt 1644®

The Original Lienz Lebzelt 1644® - culinary specialty for the Advent season - has a very old tradition. Coming from monasteries, the aromatic shapes found their way into medieval bakeries. This also happened in those of Schloss Bruck, where the most beautiful of the local Lebzelt models was brought back to life.

The bakers and confectioners of Lienz revived the old tradition of Lebzelterei in 2006. Exquisite spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, anise, ginger, fennel, and coriander determine the fine taste of the new Lienzer Lebzelts, based on traditional production. The handmade Lebzelt is filled with Tyrolean lingonberries. The pattern embossed in finest marzipan encloses the top of the Original Lienz Lebzelt 1644® .

Night watchman at the Lienz Advent market

He is an information source for guests, a popular photo motif, and likes to take time for a chat with the visitors of the Advent market.

At nightfall, the night watchman starts his rounds at the Lienz Advent market with his halberd, looks after the "right", takes care of the concerns and questions of the guests, and is especially helpful to the little market visitors. At 9 p.m. sharp, the market life ends with his traditional night call. The lights in the Advent houses go out and silence returns to the Lienz main square.

Living Workshop

In the living workshop, craftsmen and artists demonstrate their skills, provide insights into their art on the spot, and are happy to let guests and visitors "look over their shoulders" while they work.

In stimmungsvollem Ambiente laden die Handwerker zum Zuschauen und Mitmachen ein und informieren bereitwillig über die Abläufe und Schritte der Herstellung ihrer Exponate. Kinderbackstube, Basteln und Märchenstunden ergänzen das umfangreiche Adventerleben beim Familienadvent in der wohlig warmen Kunstwerkstätte direkt am Lienz Advent market .

Lienz Krampus days

The Lienz Krampus Days on December 3rd, 5th and 6th are one of the spectacular highlights of the pre-Christmas season. According to centuries-old tradition, young boys hide behind elaborately hand-carved masks, wrap themselves in thick, shaggy furs and adorn themselves with huge bells in order to take part in the parades and parades as “Krampuses” with deafening noise.

The preparation time for the members of the Lienz Nikolo and Krampus Association begins with the first days of autumn. The masks, called larvae, are carved out of wood, furs are cleaned and cut, and massive belts are made to carry the heavy bells.

The Krampus parades and runs begin in Lienz just in time for December 3rd. Barriers and stewards separate the wild characters from the spectators and visitors to the parades and ensure that the Lienz Krampus Days are a beautiful and eventful event to which guests, parents and children are warmly welcomed.


Krampus parades:

December 3rd, 7:30 p.m.: Johannesplatz with Santa Christmas present (city center)

December 5th, 7:30 p.m.: Patriasdorf district with Santa Claus gift giving

December 6th, 6:30 p.m.: Entry of the young Krampus in the city center

Deferegger Senf

At the Lienz Advent market, they have lovingly called them the “Potato Manda” for 24 years. This has its reason, as the highly coveted oven potatoes with bacon and sour cream sauce are legendary. Also very popular is the Zwoschpa blueberry mulled wine, even if it is almost unpronounceable for non-Deferegger. At the "Potato-Manda" stand, you can also buy the popular Deferegger mustard in various flavors and this year exclusively even in five organic variations made in East Tyrol.
