Weekly market in Bad Aussee

Bad Aussee

Mid-March is the time every year - after the winter, everyone in Bad Aussee looks forward to the hustle and bustle of the weekly market in Aussee. Then, every Thursday between 7 a.m. and 12 p.m., the Chlumeckyplatz is transformed into a colorful meeting place for market stall operators, customers and onlookers.

Always on Thursdays

If Thursday is a holiday, the market takes place on Wednesday.

Today's market operation is preceded by a long tradition.

As early as 1400 AD, the first verifiable weekly market in Aussee was mentioned. Since then, goods from the Enns Valley could be imported duty-free. In 1523, Aussee had its own market regulations.

For many centuries this market was a tradition until it was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century.

Thanks to resourceful initiators, this idea was taken up again and a new era of the Aussee weekly market began in 1984.
