In Goldegg winter is still winter and Advent is the most tranquil time of the year. Straw stars instead of pinwheels. Nutcracker instead of i phone. Silent Night instead of Last Christmas. “The lake is quiet and still“ – at the foot of Goldegg castle. A walk around the ice-covered lake will get you in a romantic winter mood. The nativity display, an Advent concert and a hot mulled wine will warm you up again.
We meet one another. We listen to one another and start up a discussion. The oneness of body, soul and communication form the platform of the Goldegg Dialogues. Goldegg castle, the surrounding countryside and the Salzburger mountains create a fitting setting. Where open-minded people meet, is in Goldegg. When they meet one another, they exchange and talk about very important issues, then the stage is set for the Goldegg Dialogues.
This is where all cultural and historical threads come together. The optical centre of the region. From an elevated position, the view from Goldegg castle spans over the whole sunny plateau. Whoever wants to get married, plan a conference or wants to enter into conversation can make their way to Goldegg castle. Cultural highlights, learning and know-how and modern techniques all surrounded by awe-inspiring walls. The knight’s hall and museum of local history attest to an earlier period – in Goldegg one knows how to transfer historical buildings and exhibits skillfully into the modern age.
Long and turbulent – that is how history must be in order for people to want to tell others about it and find it interesting. The locals of Goldegg find enough people to listen to them when they talk about their local history. When the castle was still a defensive fortress. When the road was built down into the valley and its role became obsolete. During wartime when times were especially difficult. When tourism and the summer resort was established in Goldegg. The number of locals, who want to bring their stories back to life, is ever increasing. Listen to them.
