I had hoped to make it there today, more or less planned for months, but without a drivers' license, it's hit and miss finding someone interested enough to drive me. But I was as lucky as I usually am. Or persuasive... #Sonntagskind

My first submission for #WikiLovesFolklore this year, hopefully there will be more: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2025-02-04_Judy_Rhatigan_from_Dunnamaggin.opus

In Gees (Eifel) rollt man am ersten Samstag nach Karneval, der Tag vor "Scheven Sunnich", ein mit brennendem Stroh gefülltes Rad den Berg hinunter. So wird der Winter vertrieben. Zum Brauch gehören auch ein Lied und das Einsammeln von Eiern in dem 300-Seelen-Dorf, die hinterher zusammen verspeist werden.

In der Eifel werden morgen und übermorgen zur Vertreibung des Winters Feuerräder die Berge herabgerollt. Ob man da mal hinfahren sollte?
