# Advent events in the Holiday Region Dachstein Salzkammergut

Once a year, when the **last leaves have already fallen** and the **first snow decorates the meadows and forests** of the Inner Salzkammergut, **Advent** comes into the parlours of the people. And with it a very special atmosphere, the peculiarity of which lies in **peace and contemplation**. In short: it is **Advent**.

Advent. Tradition. Magic.
