"Obertrauner Bergerlebnis 2026" Echo and Weisenblasen Directly on Lake Hallstatt

When in the evening the sun dips behind the Plassen – the local mountain of the Hallstätter – into the alpine world, and the last boats return to their moorings, it becomes still on Lake Hallstatt. It is precisely at this time that musicians of the Obertraun local music band take the Fuhr – the traditional boat of the people on the lakes in the Salzkammergut – out onto the lake and invite you to an unforgettable musical experience: the Weisenblasen.

The Weisenblasen can be documented as a traditional practice dating back to the turn of the century around 1900, often performed in connection with weddings, mountain masses, and similar occasions. On this summer evening, the tradition comes alive again on Lake Hallstatt – the sounds of the brass players carry far across the still water, creating a truly special atmosphere. Experience this Echo and Weisenblasen directly on Lake Hallstatt as part of the Obertrauner Bergerlebnis 2026.
