King Matjaž's Castles

Do you know the legend of King Matjaž? King Matjaž, sleeping beneath Mount Peca, has still not awakened. In his honour, the people of Črna na Koroškem have been building snow castles for more than a quarter of a century. On the last weekend of January, snow enthusiasts from near and far gather to compete in building magnificent snow castles.

The Magic of Snow Sculptures

The highlight of the event is the team snow castle-building competition, which takes place from morning until sunset, followed by an evening celebration. The following day is dedicated to children and families.
The snow castles also attract plenty of visitors in the days after the event. How long the snow sculptures remain intact depends on the weather conditions. Join the many teams and build your own snow castle!

A very special atmosphere is created in the evening glow of candles.
