Neukirchen celebrates: Leni Wallner brings new legends and stories!

Neukirchen, Österreich - After 24 years, Leni Wallner's fantastic stories return! With new material and fresh stories, an expanded new edition of "Sagen from Neukirchen" will be released in 2024. Wallner, a committed elementary school teacher, says that the idea for this new work came up when she carried out a legend hike during a conference of the National Park Administration. Their goal is to preserve these cultural treasures and to support social projects for children and adolescents in Neukirchen through the proceeds. The book is already being offered in several shops, including Raiffeisenbank and in the Bramberg warehouse, while Wallner introduces the book in Neukirchen at the Advent market from December 13th to 15th, as meinbezirk.at reported.

a curse that connects generations

The mysterious story of the "wooden rush" has aroused trust and superstitions in Pinzgau. Leni Wallner tells the legendary story of a farm that was affected by sad accidents. In 1981 the fourth man died within a few years from an accident in timber cases. This led to the belief that a curse could load on the Lechnerhof. Wallner pursues the causes that led to this superstition and describes the dramatic events that have taken place over the years. The local community crossed the suspicions and curses when cattle died and some of the participants also died tragically in the following years. An impressive narrative about curses and their late follow, such as Say.

Wallner's new edition not only earns attention because it combines historical and cultural elements, but also because it actively contributes to the support of young people in the region. The legends and their fascinating background are not only a gift to the culture, but also to the community, which can move closer together through these stories.
