Antlassritt Cultural Event In Brixental Is A Hit

The traditional Brixentaler Antlassritt took place again this year on Corpus Christi, 2023 and attracted numerous visitors. Around 60 riders gathered in front of the church in Brixen im Thale. Magnificently adorned, they rode on their majestic horses along the main road to the Swedish chapel at Klausenbach in Kirchberg.

The impressive procession was accompanied by the music bands of Westendorf, Brixen im Thale, Kirchberg in Tirol, Ascha and Kelchsau, who spread a festive atmosphere with their melodies. The harmonious interaction of the riders and the sounds of the music created an atmospheric backdrop that fascinated the spectators.

At 1 p.m., the participants met in front of the parish church in Brixen, including pastors from the three towns. Together they continued on their way to the chapel in Klausen. A solemn Holy Mass was held there, attended by the horsemen and the faithful. After a short rest, the horses and riders went back the same way.

The traditional Antlassritt in Brixental proved to be a cultural highlight that celebrates the connection to the region and its traditions in an impressive way. The successful process, the beautiful weather and the impressive number of horses made the day an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
