Traditional Krampus run at the Salzburg Christmas market

Traditional Krampus run at the Salzburg Christmas market.

It gets wild! Krampus groups run towards each other.
The greeting is the "chain pulling".
The two groups rub against each other with their furs and bells during the "Schellenwetzen".
An archaic custom that always leaves a lasting impression!
