Christbaum holen 2013
“Silent Night! Holy Night!” is the best known and most sung Christmas Carol in the world. Since the first time it was heard in 1818, in Oberndorf near Salzburg, it has proclaimed the message of Christmas, the feast of love and peace in a unique way.
On the occasion of its 200 year anniversary, we celebrate the history and proliferation of the song worldwide, with new and current activities. For this purpose, we have developed attractive programme ideas for a trip in the “Silent Night Country”, which you can find on the subsequent pages. Atmospheric tours take you to the most important towns in SalzburgerLand and in Upper Austria in which Joseph Mohr and Franz Xaver Gruber once lived and worked, as well as to Tyrol, from where the song and its message of peace have been carried out into the world. These routes are combined with visits to atmospheric Christmas markets, Christmas performances and ideas for activities in the snow. Let your customers participate in celebrating this special anniversary with an unforgettable journey in the footsteps of “Silent Night! Holy Night!” Xaver Gruber once lived and worked, as well as to Tyrol, from where the song and its message of peace have been carried out into the world. These routes are combined with visits to atmospheric Christmas markets, Christmas performances and ideas for activities in the snow.
Let your customers participate in celebrating this special anniversary with an unforgettable journey in the footsteps of “Silent Night! Holy Night!”
