Tradition in flames
Just as beautiful as in the Wachau, but a little more tranquil: the solstice in the Nibelungengau between Ybbs and Leiben. Here, too, the shortest night of the year is celebrated on a Saturday in June - and the sights along the Danube are illuminated in bright colours. For example, with fireworks set off to the rhythm of classical music - always above the basilica in Maria Taferl. But other places along the Danube also offer fireworks and light sculptures, for example Pöchlarn with its curtain of fire on the Danube bridge.
The solstice in the Nibelungengau combines centuries-old customs with modern joie de vivre - an unforgettable experience for guests and locals alike, welcoming the summer in a particularly atmospheric way.
