THE NARCISSUS FESTIVAL …
in the Ausseerland. Growing in overwhelming abundance, wild narcissus turn the delightful mountain landscapes into a fragrant sea of white blossoms. And when, between mid May and mid June, the shores of the Altausseer See, Grundlsee, Kammersee and Sommersberger See are in full bloom, it is once again time for a big festival. The region’ s children pluck narcissus beyond number. Floral sculptures of astonishing dimensions, amazing imagination and touching poetry are created literally overnight. And with the busy night behind them, it is time for a brilliant procession on land and water – this is Austria’ s biggest floral and springtime celebration.
