In Mureck's main square, Saint Nicholas makes a solemn entrance – accompanied by his loyal servant Ruprecht, the Krampuses, and the mysterious forest creatures.
He is warmly awaited by numerous children, their parents, and grandparents. The atmosphere is enhanced by the Mureck music school, which creates a special ambiance with its melodies. The children from the Mureck primary school also contribute to this festive reception with songs.
A special highlight is the children's Krampus run, where the youngest participants, dressed in fantastic costumes, joyfully and enthusiastically take on the role of the eerie figures.
In this way, festive contemplation is combined with vibrant traditions, making the evening an unforgettable experience for young and old.
