Event Fisser Blochziehen

Never heard of the "Bloch"? This is the 35-metre-long Swiss stone pine trunk that the Fasnacht locals in Fiss laboriously drag out of the village so that spring can return.

Description

The Fisser Blochziehen is one of the oldest and most important carnival customs in Tyrol and only takes place every four years. The centerpiece is a decorated tree trunk - the so-called "Bloch" - which is pulled through the village by single men. The procession is accompanied by traditional figures, music, humorous performances and lots of rural customs.

The custom symbolizes the transition from winter to spring and also serves as an expression of cohesion, joie de vivre and tradition. For locals and visitors alike, the Blochziehen is a special experience where you can immerse yourself in the culture of the Tyrolean Oberland. Socializing, music and celebrating together make this event an unforgettable highlight in the calendar of events in Fiss.
