Choose & buy a Christmas tree
If you want to buy a local Christmas tree, you don't have to travel far. In the Attersee-Attergau region, you can buy Christmas trees from the region's own Christmas tree growers. Buying a local Christmas tree is not only good for the environment, but also for the regional economy. What's more, a Christmas tree that has been freshly felled stays fresh significantly longer than a tree imported from Germany or Denmark. freshly felled & long-lasting.
