    Local Customs: Funkensonntag - "burn the winter"
  • Tip Rating:
  • The identity of Liechtenstein includes the customs and traditions that unfold over the course of the year in ecclesiastic and everyday life.
    One of the most important traditions, which is also likely rooted in the pre-Christian era, is Funken or Küachle Sunday: On the first Sunday of Lent, winter is banished by burning it in effigy.

    Mid/End of February

     Excellent comprehensive page of Liechstenstein. I spent all my limited time there at the post office. So much more to see and do. Cheers from Penang, SL :)

     Very interesting customs such as Carnivale, the Funkensonntag! Would like to see the raptors show. Liechtenstein looks quite beautiful in the pictures you show here. Definitely worth a visit!
