Grain into the bliss

On 26 ... February 2012 will be held every year the traditional Scheibenschlagen. On this day, wood and straw are collected. Alder and spruce logs from twenty to twenty-five centimeters in diameter are cut into one inch thick slices, then provided with a hole in the center and decorated with various ornaments.
The wooden wheels are then attached to a long hazel and purpose-built fireplaces made to glow. Once the disc is glowing properly, it will rotate through the hazel and thrown into the valley.
The disc is hitting an old fertility custom and should be the end of winter and the return of the vital take stronger sun. Final highlight of the disc is hitting the kindling of a cross, which is made of wood, reeds and straw.

The Zusslrennen in Prato is a unique custom that is celebrated every year on nonsensical Thursday in Prato. Has always been to ensure that the winter will be sold along with his evil spirits.
As a so-called Zussl dress up the boys and men wear white dresses with colorful stitches and flowers. But that's not all: they are strapped around the waist even cowbells or other bells, which weigh up to 20kg.
It is believed that initially after the parade Zussl stuck a fertility rite. For the first move draw six molds (men dressed in white) has a wooden plow through the streets of the village. Next comes the driver, who drives with a "Goaßl" (whip) and the mold draws the plow.
Behind them the proceeds with the Sähmann Sähkorb, from which he sprinkled sawdust on the audience. Follow afterwards farmer and his wife, and maid servant, and eventually the pair with the name "Zoch" and "Pfott".
The second move leads the so-called "drive bracket" on the train. This is the largest and heaviest of all Zussl clamps. Also, the "drive clamp carrier" has a white, flower-embroidered coat and is accompanied by a white horse. Behind the impressive roar of the "drive bracket" which come Zussl who clamor after them properly and also all the other couples and the driver, who now holds the whip with his whole train.
Enjoy the craziest day of the year and look forward to a crazy goings-on in the Prader streets.
