Take a walk
Simply out into nature - just march off. And concentrate only on what is happening around you. You suddenly see flowers blooming, birds chirping, sun and wind on your skin ... just feels good.
The Gauderfest
When the last snow fields on the mountain gradually flow into thundering mountain streams towards the valley, Austria's largest spring and traditional costume festival rings in spring on the first weekend of May. Grown out of the alpine church days, the Gauderfest is still a living tradition today.
600 years of history
After the seclusion of the long winter, a multitude of traders and farmers from all over the Alps met at the Gauderfest over the past centuries. In the year 1428 the festival was first mentioned in writing by Venetian merchants. The local brewery, today known as Zillertal Bier, has always been closely associated with the Spring Festival. On the first weekend in May, the master brewer opened the barns at Gauderlehen, where the festival was celebrated until 1950. Since the middle of the last century, the Gauderfest has taken place in the village centre of Zell am Ziller and fascinates countless guests. The ancient traditions are still very important today: The official bock beer tapping is done by the provincial governor, the strongest men wrestle for the title of Hogmoar and at the fairground all young and old visitors get their money's worth. Austria's largest traditional costume parade stands at the festive end of the festival, which is full of grace and beauty.
Cheers!
The Gauderbock, particularly brewed by Brauhaus Zillertal Bier, is a speciality of the Gauderfest. Don't miss the bock beer from the Zillertal. But beware, the Gauderbock is considered the strongest festival beer in the whole country!
