14.-20.6.2027Advent in Velden 2026 – Winter Magic on Lake Wörthersee
From November 20 to December 20, 2026, Velden will shine in a glow of lights once again: For four weeks, the town is transformed into an atmospheric Advent village that combines romance, culinary delights, and contemplative moments.
