    Experience the awakening of spring at Easter in Carinthia<\/h3><\/div>

    When nature regains its color and the days get longer<\/h4><\/div>

    Around Easter, the first crocuses begin to bloom in the meadows, buds open, and the sun gains radiance.<\/p>\n

    Walks become longer again, jackets thinner, breaks outside more natural.

    For children, this time is full of discoveries.<\/b><\/p>\n

    For adults, often a noticeable breath of fresh air after the cold winter.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Spend Easter together in the alpine mountain village<\/h2><\/div>

    Paths, nature, and play areas right outside the front door<\/h3><\/div>

    In the Slow Travel Resort Kirchleitn, the vacation begins right outside the door. Many paths start in front of the vacation home in Bad Kleinkirchheim<\/a> and invite you to go on hikes<\/a> and small discovery tours. You start when you feel like it and come back when you’ve had enough. Afterwards, you can warm up in the village’s own sauna<\/b>. <\/p>\n

    For children, there are playgrounds with sand, water, and climbing elements, a Bobby-Car racetrack, and a lovingly designed playroom<\/b> with wooden toys, a reading corner, and a dollhouse right in the vacation village. Even in changeable weather, there is plenty of variety. <\/p>\n

    In the vacation apartments, you have enough space to sit together in the cozy parlor with a tiled stove. Thanks to the fully equipped kitchen, you remain flexible even on public holidays and can eat at your own pace. <\/p>\n<\/div>

    Small rituals provide support<\/h3><\/div>

    This is how new family customs arise over Easter that come back every year<\/h4><\/div>

    Many parents want more time together during the holidays.<\/p>\n

    A vacation together can help create new family customs<\/b> that can be easily repeated. For example, a shared breakfast with Reindling on Easter Sunday, followed by an Easter egg hunt in front of the vacation home, and a story in the living room in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Such moments are simple, but they stay with you.<\/b>
    Slow Travel Tip: Away from home, it is easier to start new rituals because nothing else gets in the way.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Tips for a relaxing family vacation<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Eight ideas for Easter holiday vacations with children in Carinthia<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    When the Easter holidays begin, you don’t need a long list. Often it is the little things that stick and that you like to think back to as an adult. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 1.

    Start the Easter holidays consciously instead of just arriving<\/span><\/h3><\/div>

    The first day often determines the mood. Those who arrive slowly<\/b> get more out of it. Unpack, go out briefly, get some fresh air. No program, no must. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 2.<\/p>\n

    Create new family customs during your Easter vacation in Carinthia<\/h3><\/div>

    A shared breakfast, the Easter egg hunt in the Slow Travel Resort, a game night in the parlor. It’s easier to start new rituals<\/b> on vacation. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 3.<\/p>\n

    Experience the awakening of spring outside instead of fulfilling appointments<\/h3><\/div>

    Flowers by the wayside, damp earth under your shoes, the first warm afternoons. The Easter season shows children and adults how nature changes. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 4.<\/p>\n

    Get to know Carinthian Easter customs on the side<\/h3><\/div>

    Food blessing, Palmbuschen, Ratschen, Easter bonfire. In Carinthia, these customs belong to the Easter season. As a guest, you see, hear, and experience them. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 5.

    Keep Easter holidays with children simple<\/span><\/h3><\/div>

    Easter egg hunt, egg tapping, snacking together<\/b>. These simple things are fun and connect generations. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 6.<\/p>\n

    The Easter snack as a shared ritual<\/h3><\/div>

    Cured meat, eggs, spread, horseradish, bread, and Reindling. The Easter snack is put together as you like it best. So there is something suitable for young and old. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 7.<\/p>\n

    Warm up and relax in between<\/h3><\/div>

    After walks, it’s good to switch down a gear. Quiet hours indoors or a visit to the thermal baths bring balance<\/b> to the Easter holidays. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 8.<\/p>\n

    Easter vacation in Carinthia as a break for everyone<\/h3><\/div>

    Children, adults, but also the family dog<\/a>. Everyone should have space. Shared walks, excursions, and retreats make the Easter holidays in Carinthia relaxing. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Consciously experience Easter instead of just ticking it off<\/h2><\/div>

    When customs, nature, and family time come together<\/h3><\/div>

    In professional life, there is often little time for new things.<\/p>\n

    Days run through, weeks pass, much happens rather on the side.<\/p>\n

    That’s why it’s good to consciously take time<\/a> when the children are on vacation. Gather new impressions, be outside, discover things that are otherwise easily overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Typical Easter customs during an Easter vacation in Carinthia<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    <\/i><\/div><\/div>
    Binding Palmbuschen on Palm Sunday<\/h5><\/div>

    A week before Easter, you can see Palmbuschen in many places. Instead of palm branches, catkins and evergreen branches are tied in Carinthia and often decorated with ribbons. <\/p>\n

    Children proudly carry the branches, accompanied by their loved ones, into the church, where they are then blessed.<\/p>\n

    It is said that a blessed Palmbuschen brings luck and protection for the house and the family in the new year.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/i><\/div><\/div>
    Ratschen in Holy Week<\/h5><\/div>

    In Holy Week, there is the custom of Ratschen in many regions of Carinthia.
    When the bells do not ring, wooden Ratschen take over the sound.<\/p>\n

    Children walk in groups through the village, and the noise suddenly belongs to the day. This seems unusual for guests at first, but it shows how traditions are maintained. For families, Easter in southern Austria is also an invitation to talk to children about customs.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/i><\/div><\/div>
    Meat blessing and blessed Easter dishes<\/h5><\/div>

    In Carinthia, the food blessing on Holy Saturday<\/b> is an integral part of the Easter season in many places. Families bring a basket with Easter dishes, often with ham, eggs, horseradish, bread, and sweets, to the nearest church to have it blessed by the priest. <\/p>\n

    Even as a vacationer, you can experience this custom directly and learn what is behind it. After Lent, it is a sign of gratitude and a moment in which people come together.<\/i> For guests, this is a nice opportunity to experience Carinthia not only as a landscape but as a living culture.<\/p>\n

    If you later prepare your own snack in the vacation apartment, the food suddenly gets a story.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/i><\/div><\/div>
    Egg tapping and Easter egg hunt \u2013 games that work immediately<\/h5><\/div>

    An Easter egg hunt in front of the vacation apartment in Bad Kleinkirchheim, a few colorful eggs, maybe a small surprise, and the day begins for children with excitement.<\/p>\n

    Egg tapping is also typical for Carinthia<\/b><\/p>\n

    Two people knock hard-boiled eggs together until one wins. (The egg that stays whole has won.) This is quickly explained, is also fun for adults, and fits well during the Easter snack at the table. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/i><\/div><\/div>
    Easter bonfires on hills \u2013 light in the Easter night over Carinthia<\/h5><\/div>

    It is particularly atmospheric to see the Easter bonfires in the twilight on hills or mountains in Carinthia on Easter night.<\/p>\n

    Whether you hike directly to the mountain, drive to one of the fires, or take an evening walk with a view into the distance, the fire stands for light and new beginnings.<\/i><\/p>\n

    When you wake up with children the next morning, the holidays are already full of new impressions and shared moments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    How to make the Easter ritual a success in the vacation apartment<\/h3><\/div>

    Carinthian Easter snack with Reindling, horseradish, and cured meat<\/h4><\/div>

    The classic Carinthian Easter snack thrives on contrasts. Hearty meets sweet, mild meets spicy. Often, cured ham and sausages are on the board, along with eggs and freshly grated horseradish. <\/p>\n

    And then comes something that surprises many guests: the Reindling. A sweet yeast dough pastry with cinnamon (if desired) and raisins, which is a firm part of Easter in Carinthia. <\/p>\n

    In the cozy parlor with a dining area in the Slow Travel Resort, you can enjoy the delicious Easter snack together.<\/p>\n
