Celebrate Christmas Eve in Oberndorf, the charming riverside town where the beloved carol “Silent Night” was born. Travelers begin in Salzburg and journey through winter scenery to the picturesque village, home to a romantic Christmas market filled with lights, local crafts, and seasonal treats.
In Oberndorf, the visit continues at the historic Silent Night Chapel, built on the site where the carol was first performed in 1818. A local guide shares the touching story of composer Franz Xaver Gruber and lyricist Joseph Mohr, whose simple melody of hope became a global symbol of peace.

As twilight falls, the highlight of the tour unfolds, a beautiful rendition of “Silent Night” in its original version performed inside the chapel. Blending music, history, and heartfelt tradition, this unforgettable Christmas Eve experience captures the spirit of the holidays in true Austrian style.
