The drum women parade through the village.
The keys will be handed over at the municipal office Altaussee at about 11:30 a.m.
Unlike in the rest of the Ausseerland villages, women in Altaussee are actually out and about as drum women.
Dressed in night robes of past centuries, the drum women want to drive the winter out of the village with drums and trumpets. In earlier times, it was believed that forces of nature, such as winter, could be chased away with noise.
The drum women parade through Altaussee on Shrove Monday to the tune of the "Ausseer Faschingmarsch" (Shrove March of Aussee). This tune is carried by a rhythm that can be heard in all corners of Ausseerland during the three "holy" days of Shrove Tuesday.
