Hiking

The disc hitting is a pre-Christian, ancient pagan custom, whereby the glowing wooden discs, which fly through the darkness into the valley as a result of hitting the disc, are to be understood as symbols of the sun wheel. The Alemanni hoped for a fruitful year through this solstice celebration. INFO: kg-fledermaus.de/startseite/elementor-51

Slapping is an old pagan custom and takes place on Shrove Sunday and Shrove Monday. The wooden discs are heated and thrown into the valley. The glowing discs are said to drive away winter and bring blessings to the field, fields and relatives.
There is also a small view from here.
