Salzburg "attacked" Krampus

In Salzburg the night passed Krampus - scary and horny companion of Saint Nicholas. When St. Nicholas brings gifts to good children, the Krampus punishes naughty children. Its name comes from the old German word Krampen (claw), and it looks like the devil, but even worse. In the first and second weekend of December, especially on December 5 young people love to wear suits Krampus, meshing the bells and chains and run through the streets. However, they are not interested to frighten children: they are trying to impress the women.
