Sechseläuten - spring festival
Sechseläuten - spring festival - Zurich
Winter is officially chased out of Zurich with the traditional spring festival - Sechseläuten.
26 Zurich guilds parade through the city center along Bahnhofstrasse and Limmatquai towards Bellevue, where the festival climaxes at exactly 18:00 when a snowman-like figure called Böögg is burned. When the Böögg’s head finally explodes the season of fog and cold feet is officially over. A fast explosion of his head promises a warm and sunny summer. (Indeed it was a fast explosion this time).
Had an opportunity to roam around on my first day in Zurich as it happened to be a bank holiday. After witnessing my first tram ride, got to paradeplatz and witnessed the parade marching along various strasse and finally the snowman bonfire at Bellevue. Thousands of people flourished along the bellevue end of the Zurich lake.
