Because of the seclusion of the Berchtesgaden Valley Basin lots of Local customs are still practised in the traditional way. Whether it be the “Christmas Shooters”, “Traditional Dress Heritages” or the “Buttnmandllauf” (A Christmas Tradition to exorcize Evil Spirits) in Berchtesgaden there are lots of Traditional Customs to experience.

Most Customs have their heritage from Christian Festivals and their Songs from Legends. The Highpoints of the Christian Festivals are of course, Easter and Christmas. Compressed within these two timeframes are the Festivals of Lent and Advent, which are also widely celebrated.  Local Customs are stronger here in Berchtesgaden thanks mainly to the long presence of the Church and its´ Catholic beliefs. This could explain why the Local Customs are still revered today.
