Funken in Meschach II

In Vorarlberg we have a very special way to drive out the winter. in each village, we make a great fire, which is called "Funken". On the top of the "Funken" is a witch who is the symbol for the winter. The witch is filled with powder and explodes with a loud bang and this should be the end of winter.
