События в Аппенцелль - Топ карнавалов

Gidio Hosestoss parade followed by carnival activities

On Funkensonntag, Gidio Hosenstoss is burned in a huge bonfire.

There is a bang, smoke is in the air and a cart with a large tree trunk, the Bloch, appears. It is pulled by men from Herisau in traditional dress.

The boys of Hundwil parade their Bloch through the villages every year on the actual Bloch Monday, the Monday after Ash Wednesday.

The Steiner Buben pull the Bloch around the municipality of Stein to Teufen and back again.

Every third Sunday before Easter, large bonfires are piled up and lit in Appenzell and various villages around the canton's capital to drive away the winter.

Immer am dritten Sonntag vor Ostern werden in Appenzell grosse Feuerstösse aufgeschichtet und angezündet, um damit den Winter zu vertreiben.
