When spring replaces the cold season, the fascinating time of colourful flowers and blossoms begins in the Zillertal.
TRADITIONAL SPRING START WITH THE “GRASAUSLÄUTEN”.
At the present time it is difficult to imagine that in the past special spring customs should help drive off the cold winter. One of these customs is the “Grasausläuten”, People parade through meadows and grasses with bells to accelerate the growth of the fields and meadows.
Many parades and processions take place especially in late spring and early summer. With the Blessed Sacrament, the parish moves through blossoming nature and is accompanied by people, bands and marksmen. These rituals are usually a way to hope against lightning and thunderstorms and have a long tradition. The uniforms and standards of the individual clubs and participating bands are especially worth seeing. You really shouldn’t miss it.
