Schrammel.Klang.Festival is a long weekend of total musical enjoyment, all in a blissful setting alongside a peaceful lake surrounded by inviting woods. Performances take place simultaneously at six venues around the lake, included one on a barge which silently cruises the lake with performers and about 40 enthusiasts. Musical styles range from traditional Schrammel to Schrammel-Crossover which borders on jazz; the informality of the performances makes the event all the more delightful as members of the audience request their favorites of or by a given group. Some 30 performing groups participate, among them several younger ensembles which spend a couple of days in Litschau in advance of the main event to study with some of the top people of the genre.
