The four -mounted run: an unforgettable experience

At the same time, the traditional four -mounted run in Carinthia is just around the corner. This unique hiking event always takes place on Dreinelf Friday, two weeks after Easter, and attracts between 3,000 and 7,000 participants annually. The run extends over 52 kilometers and leads over the impressive mountain peaks of the region. The hikers lift a total of around 1,500 meters of altitude and enjoy a wide range of rest stations where colorful customs are cultivated, including plug in mountain leaves on hats or hiking rods. As the Vierberggelauf website , the event ends around 4 p.m. after a day full of community spirit and tradition.

This custom has historical roots that go back to ancient times. Celebrations that symbolize the course of the sun and represent a mixture of pagan and Christian elements are responsible for this. The participants, often equipped with sugar for children, feel the deep meaning of custom and experience a happy cooperation, while they master the challenge of the mountains and enjoy the change of weather conditions in spring.
