Ebensee is the heart and the origin of this custom, leading it to win UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status in 2010. The idea behind the Glöcklerlauf is to attract the blessings of good spirits and drive away evil ones. The Glöcklerpassen (teams taking part in the procession) meet between 6 and 7 p.m. in the centre of town and then make their way through Ebensee’s districts. The Glöckler wear headgear weighing up to 20 kg, plus large bells attached to leather belts. At 6 p.m. on the dot, a gun salute announces the start of the parade, which takes place whatever the weather. Those interested in how these artworks are made can visit the large Town Hall chamber on 5 January from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to see the headwear of some of the participants. Museum.Ebensee offers a permanent Glöckler headwear exhibition during opening hours. Arrival Information: Please pay attention: Parking is compulsory until 6 p.m. at the rear of the community center and on the entire Trauneck-Platz." image: "https://presseservice.salzkammergut.at/fileadmin/user_upload/presseservice.salzkammergut.at/000Canto-Imports/BergeSeeneTrail020_SalzkammergutKatrinKerschbaumer.jpg" date: 2023-12-06 modified: 2025-12-03 --- # Ebenseer Glöcklerlauf - traditional parade Ebenseer Glöcklerlauf - traditional parade ============================================ 05.01.2027 / 18:00- 19:00 Ebensee, Marktgemeinde Ebensee am Traunsee Ausstellung, Brauchtumsveranstaltung, Sonstige Brauchtumsveranstaltung, Thematische Ausstellung ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/257000/133BDBB679EC5A5B16CD9556E4348B2D778432C0586246E7EDB97B5A5CE2100B/rindbacher-gloeckler.jpg) ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/256999/8DD26827F48EC29E8A60F53E40D3098326A312272FB625307F3373DEF44793A6/ebenseer-gloeckler5.jpg) ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/257001/44759F0913CDCD703D97FFDBE0419779F5C940B2EBB6E3EC2BEB52A9D44C4D86/ebenseer-gloeckler4.jpg) © Open copyright © Ferienregion Traunsee-Almtal, Ruber Close copyright [ ![Rindbacher Glöckler](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/257000/133BDBB679EC5A5B16CD9556E4348B2D778432C0586246E7EDB97B5A5CE2100B/rindbacher-gloeckler.jpg "© Ferienregion Traunsee-Almtal, Ruber") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/257000/133BDBB679EC5A5B16CD9556E4348B2D778432C0586246E7EDB97B5A5CE2100B/rindbacher-gloeckler.jpg) © Open copyright © TVB Traunsee-Almtal Close copyright [ ![Ebenseer Glöckler5](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/256999/8DD26827F48EC29E8A60F53E40D3098326A312272FB625307F3373DEF44793A6/ebenseer-gloeckler5.jpg "© TVB Traunsee-Almtal") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/256999/8DD26827F48EC29E8A60F53E40D3098326A312272FB625307F3373DEF44793A6/ebenseer-gloeckler5.jpg) © Open copyright © Tourismusbüro Ebensee Close copyright [ ![Ebenseer Glöckler4](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/257001/44759F0913CDCD703D97FFDBE0419779F5C940B2EBB6E3EC2BEB52A9D44C4D86/ebenseer-gloeckler4.jpg "© Tourismusbüro Ebensee") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/257001/44759F0913CDCD703D97FFDBE0419779F5C940B2EBB6E3EC2BEB52A9D44C4D86/ebenseer-gloeckler4.jpg) © Open copyright © Ferienregion Traunsee Close copyright [ ![der Sturmhut](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/257002/E35046974100AE2A2391FA4EB1BFE5B2D682D29D4129E8E82D4BA3B7613804C3/der-sturmhut.jpg "© Ferienregion Traunsee") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/257002/E35046974100AE2A2391FA4EB1BFE5B2D682D29D4129E8E82D4BA3B7613804C3/der-sturmhut.jpg) © Open copyright © Fotoklub Ebensee Close copyright [ ![Ebenseer Glöckler](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/257003/249268A1A71B8F4AAC0BF71DECA04D1082F8C7AF7C87EFD7C1A157BDD25C0C31/ebenseer-gloeckler.jpg "© Fotoklub Ebensee") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/257003/249268A1A71B8F4AAC0BF71DECA04D1082F8C7AF7C87EFD7C1A157BDD25C0C31/ebenseer-gloeckler.jpg) © Open copyright © Ferienregion Traunsee Close copyright [ ![Ebenseer Glöckler2](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/257004/11A7317CCA3DFFD531CD9E73267A209D95F1F624AD9C141F4E71056F7B11F94E/ebenseer-gloeckler2.jpg "© Ferienregion Traunsee") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/257004/11A7317CCA3DFFD531CD9E73267A209D95F1F624AD9C141F4E71056F7B11F94E/ebenseer-gloeckler2.jpg) © Open copyright © Tourismusbüro Ebensee Close copyright [ ![Glöcklerlauf](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/257005/BCCDDFFEE4CD543E92EBA79D7C588DD99A80D0CB9528B57A690745C4537D1A42/gloecklerlauf.jpg "© Tourismusbüro Ebensee") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/257005/BCCDDFFEE4CD543E92EBA79D7C588DD99A80D0CB9528B57A690745C4537D1A42/gloecklerlauf.jpg) © Open copyright © Ferienregion Traunsee Close copyright [ ![Anzünden der Kerzen](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/257006/77C82E3D458164B8A698619130AF1A14D5EA45BEF09D1893FB2ED310A38F95D9/anzuenden-der-kerzen.jpg "© Ferienregion Traunsee") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/257006/77C82E3D458164B8A698619130AF1A14D5EA45BEF09D1893FB2ED310A38F95D9/anzuenden-der-kerzen.jpg) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
