In June it's that time again. Around the summer solstice on 21 June, the traditional Tyrolean mountain fires light up in Tyrol. It is an impressive spectacle that is offered there. Burning hearts, fire eagles, crosses flickering in the wind - the mountains glow. A few years ago, UNESCO took this living Tyrolean tradition as an opportunity to include the mountain bonfires in the catalogue of the intangible world cultural heritage.
There is something magical about experiencing Tyrol on these days. If you can make it, you should definitely be there for the "Feuer-Schaun". Here are the most important dates for you.
