Say goodbye to the year in Alpine cosiness and festive elegance. Right on time at midnight, the sky over Bad Kleinkirchheim is transformed into a sea of twinkling lights. A perfect start to the new year in the Carinthian Nockberge mountains.
Probably the most traditional custom on New Year's Eve - lead pouring. In the past, this was traditionally done with lead. Today, lead has been replaced by wax. Small pieces of wax are melted over the flame of a candle and then poured into a cold water bath. The resulting bizarre miniature sculptures are then interpreted with the help of a reference book or your own imagination with regard to future events.
The custom of lifting hats is also very popular. Different objects such as a ring, a key or a coin are placed under different hats on a table. The hats are then shuffled and picked up by the guests in turn. If a ring is revealed, the person in question is about to get married, while the coin promises a financial blessing or the key a house of their own.
