On Carnival Tuesday, the Flinserl, the harbingers of spring, take centre stage. The colourful and cheerful costumes are based on the Commedia dell' arte and provide a good mood. They give sweets to the children as they wander through Bad Aussee. Their constant companion on their way is the traditional Flinserl music. Their destination: The Kurhausplatz in the town centre. Once arrived, they gather and listen to the Flinserl phrases spoken by the children. These are traditional quatrains with rough wording in some cases. As a reward, the Flinserl distribute nuts and sweets to the children.
With a careful eye, the figure of "Zacherl" watches over the correct course of the procession. Equipped with a stick on which "Saublasen" are attached, it makes sure that the sweets really reach the children and that the Flinserl can move freely.
