So many “parkeljni” from all sorts of places you have never seen. An increasingly popular event, named by organizers Fire spectacle in Podkoren, already became a real festival. In Podkoren, you will experience a terrifying parade of different groups of “parkeljni” coming from three countries.
The “parkeljni” are mythical creatures, terrifying black men, going from house to house frightening children. It originates from pagan times, when these evil spirits became companions and helpers of St. Nicholas: in accordance with Christian values, the saint rewarded the good children, and “parkeljni” (Krampus) frightened the naughty ones.
On the last Friday in November, 29 November, Podkoren will be filled with mystical energy when the traditional gathering of The Hike od the Parkeljni (Krampus) will take place. 30 groups and more than 500 Krampus– this time including groups you have never seen before – will create an eerie and spectacular scene that will take your breath away.
A fiery opening will kick off the event in style – but what exactly will happen will remain a mystery for now. Get ready for an unforgettable experience that will both enchant you and remind you of the power of ancient traditions.
Don’t miss out on an extraordinary event where tradition and mystery are intertwined, and the fire will make it an event to remember for a long time to come! See you in Podkoren under Linden Tree!
