For the 14th time, music groups from all over Austria came together with their alphorns at Katschberg. The event has become an indispensable part of tourism.
Every year, the Katschberg is a fixed meeting point for many alphorn players. This year too. Yesterday, Sunday, around 40 alphorn and horn players from all over Austria came together on the tourist mountain to play music together with their wooden instruments. Guests were amazed, because music was played along the entire Herzerlweg, which leads to the Gamskogelhütte. The event is organized by Alfred Peitler, his wife Christine and his three daughters Anja, Monika and Marlene. The musician makes unique alphorns in his home country. “That’s why I’m all the more pleased when the musicians come to us in Carinthia,” says the master carver. Young people also play the alphornWhat probably pleases all the musicians is that young people also enjoy the musical instruments. Like the two sisters Sophie (10) and Marie (12) Warmuth from Seeboden. “We have been playing the alphorn for five years,” the musical girls say proudly. They learned it from their father Wolfgang, who is a music teacher. For tourism professionals, the event has become an indispensable part of the event: “Alfred Peitler and his family have been trying to organize this meeting for years, there has never been a break, even during Corona it could always take place, we are very grateful for that,” says hut owner Peter Aschbacher.
