Auctioning for a good cause in the nativity village of Strobl

At the Strobl nativity village, visitors were able to put their intuition to the test in a special guessing game. Under the motto ‘Guess for a good cause’, the task was to guess how many kilograms of wood were on the festively decorated sleigh.

For each guess, a contribution of 1 euro was made, which went entirely to a good cause. As a special incentive, the winner received the wood from the sleigh as a prize.

The weight of the ash log was 907 kilograms – and Stefan Stadler from Englmannbrunn guessed this weight correctly.
