I enjoyed Fasching in Purkersdorf. Walter was all dressed up. During this time the community provides free Krampfen which is like a jelly filled doughnut. It is also tradition to have warm cider with rum or Punch (a warm fruit drink also with rum or schnapps).
The duration of the Fasching period varies according to national and local traditions. Fasching in Austria begins on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the moment the new (Heuriger) wine becomes old (alt), 'Heurige' wine, is the most recent vintage normally offered for consumption by the grower in his/her wine bar and is officially released on this day.
