Torchlight procession and Christmas-tree dive in the lake, Mondsee
One of the odder Advent customs of the Salzkammergut: at six in the evening a torchlight procession with the St. Lorenz wind players leaves the Mondsee Advent market and walks down to the lake bay, where the divers of the water rescue team swim out with torches and sink a lit Christmas tree into the dark water. Meanwhile everyone else warms up with tea, Glühwein and a snack. Free, donations welcome. «Christbaumtauchen in Mondsee» Starts 18:00, ends about 23:59.
