In a small alleyway in Wagram am Wagram, it sparkles wherever you look. The Tirok family has fulfilled a childhood dream here with a great deal of passion and commitment: In December, the house and garden are transformed into a veritable sea of lights that visitors can also marvel at. Watch the video to see how 265,000 lights compete with each other.

Angels, snowmen, stars, oversized snowflakes, Christmas figures as far as the eye can see - it's impossible not to be amazed. It all started with a string of lights in December 1992: "We moved in after the house was built and the first thing we did was put up these lights," explains the Lower Austrian. Inspired by American Christmas films, there have been more and more over the years.
