Thursday is a nationwide day off. The following Friday turns it into a long weekend for many people.

Family and groups

Father's Day, Men's Day, outings

Depending on the region, the day can mean family visits, Men's Day, group walks or outings, so offers need to match the local context.

Travel

The public holiday always falls on Thursday; short trips, lakes, beer gardens, hiking routes and city centres can become busier.

Work

No separate extra holiday
