Customs and traditions are of utmost importance to the inhabitants of the villages along the South Tyrolean Wine Road - processions, festivals and parades live up the village life. Many traditions have been preserved for centuries and still colour the lives in the villages such as the Carnival spectacle of the Egetmann Parade and the Sacred Heart Fires on the hills and mountains in June.
