All over Austria, on the evening before St. Nicholas Day on December 6, St. Nicholas comes with his entourage of devilish creatures called "Krampus". While Saint Nicholas rewards children who have been good all year with gifts, the Krampus rebukes children who have misbehaved. This centuries-old tradition is now more popular than ever.🎅 👹 ©️ Gasteinertal Tourismus GmbH / Marktl Photography 📍 5630 Bad Hofgastein Salzburg #feelaustria #visitaustria #tradition #nikolaus #krampus #brauchtum #salzburgerland #winter #snow
