Silent Night Wagrain
Winter Holidays in the Silent Night Village of Wagrain
During Advent, Wagrain is one of the most beautiful places in the SalzburgerLand. Treat yourself to a winter holiday spent amid a true Christmas idyll.
Joseph Mohr, who penned the text of “Silent Night!”, lived and worked for more than a decade in Wagrain. Advent is the perfect occasion to revive our memories of this famous parish vicar. Awaiting you during the Christmas season in Wagrain are harmonious and reflective events, which capture the unique magic embodied in the song “Silent Night!”.
Christmas Magic in Austria
Wagrain’s festivities open with a choir of school children singing at the graveside of Joseph Mohr. Afterwards, you can look forward to a reading of Christmas stories atop Griessenkareck mountain. The second highlight is the Advent Choral Concert given by the choir of Wagrain Parish Church. And on December 26, it is time for the traditional Joseph Mohr Memorial Singing, yet another truly impressive memorial to the priest and poet.
