Very old Bavarian/Austrian Tradition - Perchtenlauf

[TheFloudl]

Wrong, it´s also Bavarian, (Reichenhall, Ainring, Laufen, Kirchseon!)

There is nothing wrong with this tradition.

And this has nothing to do with witches! You watch too many hollywood movies that have corrupted your mind and told you what to think!

[TheFloudl]

@BlondMedicin Gibt´s auch in Reichenhall, Laufen Ainring, Berchtesgaden! Also ned alles gleich für rein österreichisch erklären, was es im gesamten Alpenraum gibt!

december 5th is the so called kramperl-tag (tag=day)...
