It is Krampustag in Austria - a great day to go for a walk in the evening, especially in Western Austria (mostly Tyrol, Salzburg and the other Alpine areas): Young men dress up with devil's masks, furs and horns and chase girls on the streets. Hooray. Customs and traditions at their best.
Anyways, tomorrow is St. Nikolaus Tag ("St. Nicholas' Day"): A men with a - usually fake, but it took me years to find that out - beard and a bishop's costume comes to the houses to bring small gifts like nuts, sweets and little toys. By then, most Krampusse will have disappeard.
By the way, Ischgl (see post below) was a madhouse - next stop is Vienna, where I will go tomorrow for a meeting - which is supposed to involve Sacher Tart, so I am looking forward to it.
More information on TourMyCountry.com: I am currently preparing a re-launch with a slightly refined layout. Should be available by Christmas. Best,
Benedikt
