Perchtenlauf Semriach

This first home run in Semriach promises pure goosebumps! Accompanied by flames and the muffled roar of bells, the market town of Semriach becomes the backdrop for an exciting spectacle that captivates children and adults alike. The Kesselfall Pass has dedicated itself entirely to cultivating and passing on this unique custom and impressively emphasises the fascinating traditions of Styria.

The wild Perchten hunt not only brings with it terrifying creatures, but also a lively insight into regional history and culture. If you are brave enough to get up close to the terrifying creatures, you can admire the skilfully carved masks and impressive skins. The Heimlauf offers the perfect opportunity to experience this ancient ritual up close and personal and to join in with family and friends.
