On December 6th, the International Office of the University organized an advent bus trip for international students. The itinerary included Gloggnitz – the Maria Schutz Basilica – and the Johannesbachklamm Advent Market.

Eighty students participated in the trip, mostly international, though a few Hungarian students also managed to join the bus.
We visited the Lindt chocolate factory outlet, where participants could watch a film about the manufacturing process and purchase products at discounted prices.
The next stop was the picturesque Maria Schutz Basilica, located at the foot of the Semmering Pass. Behind the altar of the basilica flows a miraculous spring.

The final destination was one of Austria’s most unique Christmas markets, set in the Johannesbachklamm gorge. In the heart of nature, the Advent market features Austria’s largest Christmas tree, decorated anew every year.
The purpose of the trip was to provide students with a meaningful way to spend their free time while supporting their integration and well-being. Tour guides shared stories about the history, characteristics, and interesting facts of the region. Spending Advent in such a beautiful and special natural setting was a truly memorable experience for the students.
