Slovene Quintain
Slovene quintain ( sl, štehvanje, german: Kufenstechen) is a traditional Slovene mounted folk game, a form of jousting, that has been preserved in the southern Austrian state of Carinthia. It is held during Kirchweih festivals in the lower Gail Valley, where it has become a major tourist attraction. The ''štehvanje'' competition has also taken place every year in Savlje, Ljubljana and sometimes in neighboring villages since the 1930s. History It is commonly believed that ''štehvanje'' is the rustic form of a Roman knight's game called quintain. It originated in conjunction with medieval tournaments, local blessings and Pentecostal games. It may have come from the Upper Italian Friuli and Istria regions, where it was popular in the 18th century. Carters brought this game with them as they traveled from Trieste to Vienna, passing Udine and Tarvisio. The Slovene name derives from the German word ''stechen'' 'to stab', which indicates that in the beginning players stabbed a ba ...

Trachten
''Tracht'' () refers to traditional garments in German-speaking countries and regions. Although the word is most often associated with Bavarian, Austrian, South Tyrolian and Trentino garments, including lederhosen and dirndls, many other German-speaking peoples have them, as did the former Danube Swabian populations of Central Europe. Name The word "Tracht" comes from the verb "tragen" (to carry or wear); thus the derived noun "Tracht" means "what is worn". So "Tracht" can refer to the clothes which are worn. The noun also has other uses deriving from the verbal meaning, e.g. a load, a device for carrying a load on the shoulders, or the load of honey carried in by the bees). It also appears within the German idiom "eine Tracht Prügel" (a ''load'' (of) beating or, alternately, "a good beating"). "Tracht" is commonly used to refer the way of dressing associated with a particular people group (''Volkstracht''), social class or occupation (''Arbeitstracht''). Most often it refers ...
