Endless luck at last? In Lobas, it's simply scooped!


If you think luck can't be touched – then you've clearly never been to Lobas, a peaceful little village in the Burgenlandkreis, part of the locality of Würchwitz.


Because there, deep hidden in what locals call the "Märchenlöcher" (Fairy Tale Hollows), something bubbles cheerfully from the ground: the legendary *Glückswasser* – literally, "luck water." And no, it's not a new wellness brand, but a centuries-old tradition with a splash of magic.

Volker Thurm – local historian, happiness expert, and quite possibly the only man who turned a school essay from 1852 into a grassroots movement – tells us in the video, with plenty of charm (and a solid dose of local flavor), how luck is harvested in the Burgenlandkreis: on foot, in silence, and with a thermos.

But you can't just scoop it willy-nilly: those who want *real* Glückswasser need to get up early, hike to the spring, stay silent, and follow a set of unwritten rules. In return, you supposedly get protection from lightning, illness, and crop failure – for an entire year. Three drops on your doorstep are said to work wonders. If you're going to try it: please don't overdo it – it's luck, not body wash.

The tradition had almost faded into oblivion – until Volker revived it with a spontaneous hiking group that nearly overran the Blumenmühle. Since then, luck-seekers regularly make the pilgrimage to the Märchenlöcher, even in snow and ice, sometimes walking over frozen creeks – no joke. And if you're thinking this all sounds like a mix of fairy tale, vintage folklore, and mild absurdity: that’s exactly what it is. And that’s exactly why it’s worth watching.

What does a monk have to do with all this? What was destroyed in 1850? And what actually happened to Mr. Krause, who spotted suspicious figures by the creek at night?

You’ll only find out in the video!
