The knights appear for the Great Tournament!
Welcome to Kaltenberg!
The Kaltenberg Knights´ Tournament is the largest tournament of modern times.
Approx. 120,000 visitors come to Kaltenberg Castle each July, to step back into the Middle Ages, to see the Great Tournament, to stroll across the largest medieval market and to see an 8 hour programme set on seven stages.
Join us in July 2008! Become part the the big show

10,000 spectators fill the arena for the Grand Tournament



The increasing success of each new tournament over the past few years, has driven the creators of the Kaltenberg Knights´ Tournament on to producing an even more spectacular show than ever before. A show which will most likely be performed in front of more than 10,000 spectators! A medieval show – and what a show it will be!
A show with knights, incredibly beautiful horses and outstanding riders and with breathtaking stunts performed by horse/rider teams.
Once again, from the pen of the multi-talented Mario Luraschi – scriptwriter, stunt co-ordinator and director.

But our Event doesn´t just consist of knights jousting! The medieval market and the programme set on seven stages, offer new attractions in 2008 too!

Once again, traders will be offering their medieval wares on approx. 100 stands covering an area of more than 100,000 square meters. Of course, I will personally ensure – as I have done each year - that you, our esteemed guests, receive only high quality products at reasonable prices.

Well over 1,000 artists will be involved in our programme in the streets, squares and on stages at Kaltenberg Castle.
You will meet old acquaintances (many of whom I now consider to be old friends),and be surprised by attractions you haven´t seen here before; I think this is altogether quite an exciting mixture.

Kaltenberg wouldn´t be Kaltenberg without its famous King Ludwig Dunkel(beer) and the excellent food.

This year, as in previous years, we have successfully managed to combine great value with quality too. Kaltenberg has always been planned as an event for the whole family and so it shall remain. The arena show and the above mentioned additional programmes are equally suitable and exciting for children, teenagers and adults.

Finally, I would like to point out, that due to its overwhelming success over the past three years, the Kaltenberg Jesters´ Night will take place again this year too. Although this will only be the 5th Jesters´ Night, for many active and passive participants, it has already achieved cult status.

If you like it a bit more romantic and quiet – come to the Jesters´ Night!

I am already anticipating July 2008 with excitement – under no circumstances should you miss the Kaltenberg Knights ´Tournament, or the Jesters´ Night.

I hope you will join us at Kaltenberg Castle in July!
