Step back in time and discover the traditional Kirchtag festivals in our region 🎶🍻

Live music fills the air, people wear beautiful traditional Trachten outfits, and village squares come alive with dancing, laughter, and local specialties. During these special celebrations, the centuries-old traditions of Carinthia truly come to life.

One of the absolute highlights is the traditional Kufenstechen — an impressive spectacle full of pride, folklore, and history that you simply have to experience at least once.

Kirchtag festivals are much more than just celebrations; they are unique experiences where hospitality, culture, and tradition come together. A wonderful way to immerse yourself in another era ❤️

Would you like to know where and when the different Kirchtag festivals take place? Our reception team will be happy to provide you with more information.

At the beginning of June, the town of Hermagor comes alive with one of Carinthia’s most famous regional specialties: Gailtaler bacon. During the traditional Gailtaler Bacon Festival, visitors can enjoy three days of culinary delights, folklore, live music, and a lively festival atmosphere in the town center.

Taste and purchase original Gailtaler bacon, sample local dishes such as the Gailtaler Frigga, and enjoy traditional folk dancing and music. A special highlight is the festival train running from Feistritz im Rosental directly to Hermagor.
