Adventroas [A journey through Advent with Herbert Gschwendtner]

Advent is – in the natural world, at least – the darkest and quietest period in the liturgical year, but also the most gentle, hopeful and ineffable magical winter Christmastide. No matter whether your home glows in candlelight or sparkles with fairy lights – just so long as it stands under an auspicious star. For if no-one has time for others, the days can seem long and monotonous.

Herbert Gschwendtner offers us suggestions of his own to lead us through Advent. He has chosen excursions, walking-tours, markets and rustic inns in all the Austrian provinces, in southern Germany and South Tyrol, as well as some real "insider" tips for getting into a mellow Christmas mood – not bustling around, but finding out things that can't be gift-wrapped, surrendering at leisure to the magical moments of the season. Accompany Herbert Gschwendtner on his Advent journey!
