Christmas swimming in Steyr: Divers make tree to glow!

The traditional Christmas swimming in Steyr is just around the corner! On December 14, 2024, the picturesque Enns becomes a scene for a spectacular event that is all about the holidays. The city of Steyr, the Steyr diving club, the Austrian water rescue and the divers of the magistrate sports club invite you to this festive event, in which divers swim down the Enns with a decorated Christmas tree. It starts at 5 p.m. on Steyrer Stadtplatz, where Christmas music is also played by the tower brass group of the Gleink music band, such as meinbezirk.at reported.

with the Steyrer Christkindl at the top, the ceremonial greeting is made at 5:30 p.m. by sports councilor Christian Baumgarten. Afterwards, the divers move in the torchlight procession from the town square through the narrow alley to the intermediate bridges. Her brave jump into the cold water, accompanied by festive lights, promises an unforgettable atmosphere. Even the advertising drum for the Christmas tree sales of the Doppelbauer family, which will start from December 7th, is stirred-the Nordmann firs and blueplets from Garsten will surely find their place at many living rooms, such as Tips.at reported.

Be ready for a event full of Christmas magic and winter atmosphere! The Christmas swimming heats the anticipation of the festival and shows the community joy of the Steyrers, who do not want to miss this special experience!
