    Hiking

    The most important symbols of Eisenach's grand spring festival, "Sommergewinn" (Summer Gain), are the rooster, the egg, and the pretzel. They represent the rising sun, fertility, and the cycle of the year.

    These symbols not only play a major role in the annual, traditional parade three weeks before Easter, but they have also been immortalized as a monument. It stands in Schiffsplatz (Ship Square) in front of the main entrance of the city library. It was designed by Professor Günther Laufer.
