Winter magic in the monastery courtyard: admission price for a quieter experience

in Linz there is a new trend to discover: the estimated winter magic in the Klosterhof, known for its festive atmosphere and the colorful decoration, will be shaped a little differently this year. For the first time, admission is required what awakens the curiosity of the visitors. The decision by Wirt Josef Gassner to charge a fee of five euros is no coincidence, because the Klosterhof has developed into a popular destination for Christmas friends.

The monastery courtyard, which comes up with magnificent firs, shining Christmas balls and a magical atmosphere, has established itself as a hotspot for the Christmas season. Visitors not only find mulled wine and punch here, but also a unique backdrop for festive photos. More and more people are traveling from the surrounding area to enjoy the magical atmosphere and capture their stay on social media. According to Gassner, a visit to the Klosterhof is now a must for everyone who is in the city.

admission and voucher

The introduction of the entry should bring more order into the pre -Christmas joy. For the five euros, guests not only receive access to this atmospheric surroundings, but also a voucher for a hot drink, which compensates for the price. Gassner mentions that the Schilcher punch in particular is an attractive option for many, as you have a small price advantage for this. One reason for this measure is the desire that guests can enjoy the winter magic in peace without being disturbed by crowds that only stop by for a quick selfie.

The Klosterhof was already a popular attraction last year, but Gassner emphasizes that many visitors were not really interested in simply enjoying the atmosphere. Instead, influencers and notorious selfie makers crowded among the guests. In order to counteract this development and preserve the ambience of the Klosterhof, he has introduced the new entry regulation. This idea has already been considered in other locations, as tested by the Hellbrunner Advent magic.

With this initiative, the aim is that the atmosphere of the winter magic is not only a background for photos, but also a place where you can sit back with a mulled wine or punch and enjoy the festive atmosphere. The original intention behind the Klosterhof as a hospitable meeting point for the winter time remains, while at the same time a certain exclusive character is created by entry.

For everyone who wants to experience the winter magic in the Klosterhof, it is to be hoped that the changes will actually improve the overall experience. Your visit could guarantee an orderly and contemplative Christmas time in one of the most beautiful angles of Linz instead of just being part of a hectic snapshot hunt.
