Salzburg, Austria: Sampling Schnapps on Getreidegasse
More info about travel to Salzburg: Old Salzburg's busy and colorful main drag was, and still is, Getreidegasse. Amidst all the tourists and chain outlets, you'll find purely local hangouts like the Sporer family schnapps shop. This friendly hole-in-the-wall has been distilling and selling schnapps for just over a hundred years, and has enough flavors to keep regulars coming back again and again.

Salzburg, Austria, walk in the alleys
We're going to have some fun in Salzburg wandering up and down the little alleyways these are side lanes that go off from the main pedestrian lane. They are kind of like shopping malls nowadays but originally, hundreds of years ago, they were a little path that connected the front houses with the back houses. Salzburg has lots of these pedestrian lanes right in the heart of town and yet it would be easy to overlook them – in fact most visitors to Salzburg don't even notice them. But in this movie that's all we're going to do, is take you up and down, in and out through these little side lanes, and then back over to Getreidegasse which is the main pedestrian lane that runs through the heart of Salzburg.
There are more than a dozen of these little alleys that extend out from the Getreidegasse main lane, and they are really quite fun to walk through. You might easily overlook them if you are just walking along on Getreidegasse and sort of enraptured by all of the wonderful shops, the people, the sites to see along the main lane. Some of the entrances to the side alleys are pretty inconspicuous. But it's worth a walk to go down these lanes so we are going to take you on a little zigzag going back and forth, and back and forth again, and cover most of these little lanes in the heart of Salzburg right now to give you some idea of the situation, what it's like.
They are really kind of like little shopping mall alleys. Along most of them you will find some glass display cases, or signs pointing to nearby shops and restaurants. Sometimes there's just a blank wall, but usually there is something interesting to see as you walk along in these little side alleys.
Occasionally they open up into courtyards and you'll see the spaces that were created as far back as three or fourhundred years ago as the buildings kind of all grew together and merged. You can look up in the courtyards to the second level and third level, as this was the residential neighborhood upstairs. They had their shops down the ground floor. Even today there are some people living upstairs – there are some students up there and long-time resident. Some of these are rental properties, others are owned by the residents who live there.

About Getreidegasse: Griesgasse Area
The Griesgasse is a lane in the Altstadt (Old Town) of Salzburg. It has seen quite a lot of history and has been at the heart of Salzburg for millennia. The name means semolina lane, which is misleading - the term Gries was also used for rubble that was deposited by the Salzach River at its banks. Thus the name. Lane is an understatement, since it is rather wide and in fact a proper street. It ran parallel to the city walls and links the Anton-Neumayr-Platz and Gstättengasse with the Staatsbrücke bridge.
Until into the 17th century, this area was frequently flooded and used for orchards, gardens and meadows. Only with the urban development program of Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, flood protection measures were taken and the Griesgasse was laid out.
Touring the Griesgasse
At the Münzgasse / Anton-Neumayr-Platz part of the Griesgasse, you are standing in area that was once occupied by the Türnitz - then the oldest army barracks in the world. The barracks were demolished in the 1860ies, when building material was needed for the river training structures. At Griesgasse 37, the city′s pump house was built in 1548; its pump supplied the city with drinking water and was powered by the Almkanal. After 1800, it was powered by a steam engine. In 1944, this Brunnhaus was destroyed in the course of WWII bombings.
The city walls had a gate that was often used to take cattle which was kept within the city to drink water at the shore of the Salzach. The gate was called Wassertor, Griestor or Fleischertor. The houses of Griesgasse 1, 3, 5 and 7 originate in the 16th and 17th century. House number 7 was a bathhouse since the Middle Ages; it could be tracked back to the 14th century, but was probably even older. It closed only in the 20th century.
The house in Griesgasse 8 has a plate with an inscription referring to the local mason family of the Dopplers, of whom the physicist Christian Doppler was the most famous member. The house of Griesgasse 11 is still containing parts of the old city walls including a small guard tower which is still quite visible once you know what you are looking for. House number 15 once contained a home for poor and old people; house number 21 was the city′s main blacksmith (Stadtschmiede).

About Sigmundstor: ( The 131 metre long, 13 metre wide Siegmundstor tunnel is one of the most amazing feats of 18th civil century engineering. The tunnel, constructed between 1764 and 1766, connects the Old Town with the Riedenburg quarter through the Mönchsberg and is one of Salzburg's most important arterial routes. The tunnel's was opened by Sigismund von Schrattenbach by driving a six-horse carriage through it. The entrance to the tunnel is notable for its Baroque ornamentation by the brothers Johann and Wolfgang Hagenauer.

Krampus in der Getreidegasse 2018 - Krampusläufe heuer in Salzburg und Österreich
Krampus Veranstaltungen in Salzburg und in Österreich sind keine besinnlichen Advent Bräuche. Dafür sind sie ein Ereignis, dass bleibende Eindrücke hinterlassen. Von Ende November bis Anfang Dezember kann man dieses besondere Brauchtum auch in der Stadt Salzburg erleben. Wilde Glockenklänge, zottelige Felle, gebogene Hörner und furchteinflößende Masken. Wenn Krampus und Perchten mit dumpfem Gebrüll die Straßen entlanglaufen, halb tanzend, halb stampfend, lässt das wohl keinen der Zuseher kalt. Ein Besuch der vielen Krampus Veranstaltungen ist ein unvergessliches Erlebnis und gehört zur Salzburger Vorweihnachtszeit wie der berühmte Christkindlmarkt und das besinnliche Adventsingen.
Abonniere unseren Youtube-Kanal und versäume kein neues Video der für uns so schönen und faszinierenden Krampusläufe und Krampus Spiele. Neben dem Krampus gibt es aber noch viel mehr zu entdecken und bestaunen, wie z.B. Perchten, Habergoaß, Hexen, Engerl, Jäger, Schmied, Wilderer und natürlich der Heilige Nikolaus.
