TO THE NARZISSENFEST IN AUSSEE

When the star daffodil unfolds its white flowers across the mountain meadows between May and June, the Ausseerland is immersed in a magical sea of flowers. That's exactly when we celebrate in Aussee the Narzissenfest. This year it takes place for the 63rd time from June 1st to June 4th, 2023. Treat yourself to a little break and enjoy the wonderful spring with all its colors and scents - feel the Ausseerland with us! 

6 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DAFFODILS FESTIVAL 

These six things you must know about the largest flower festival in Austria, the Daffodil Festival in Ausseerland know before you visit it:

Daffodil flower

Every year between mid-May and mid-June, the famous star daffodil blooms in the Ausseerland Salzkammergut region and transforms the idyllic mountain and lake landscapes around the Loser into a fragrant sea of flowers.

Daffodil Highnesses

Every year three new Daffodil Highnesses are chosen by a jury. They are then the representatives of the Ausseerland for one year. Did you know that the daughter of the house, Katharina Thomanek, is the acting daffodil princess?

How a daffodil figure is made

How many hours the people from Aussee spend on their daffodil figures can be experienced in many places in the Ausseerland. The day before the parade, many volunteers work all night long - join them and enjoy!

Boat parade

From Wednesday to Sunday there is a party in Aussee. The highlight, however, always takes place on Sundays: in the boat parade across Lake Altaussee, all the figures are pulled across the lake in traditional boats. A spectacle that you won't soon forget...

Daffodil figures

From the very first idea to the finished figure, many work steps have to be done: From the true-to-scale planning to the production of a frame with a wire mesh cover, you finally stick the self-picked daffodils onto the figure.
