Easter bonfire in Wolfsberg

The tradition of the Easter bonfire heating comes from the time of the Turkish expulsion.

 

Because everywhere the Turks hordes roamed, the farmers could not communicate with each other and agree to a common action. Someone came up with the idea to signal each other by big fires from the mountains. This was applauded, and soon at night-it was just Easter week-fires flamed up on all the peaks of the mountains bordering the valley. For fear of being surrounded, the Turks cleared the place and left.

Since then, the custom of the "OSTERFEUER", in memory of the Turkish siege, has remained.
