Slices are put on hazelnut sticks and kept in the fire until they are light
are burned. With momentum, the disc is thrown over a ramp on the mountain slope, like this
that she jumps off the stick and sails into the valley as a rotating disc of fire. The disc
symbolizes the sun and is said to drive away the long winter. With an accompanying saying
the disc hitter dedicates his disc to a relative or loved one. today
the Fledermaus carnival society runs disc hitting. In general it is
Fastnacht in Ersingen is known far beyond the borders of the Enzkreis. At the

Sculpture for disc-hitting, an old custom on Shrove Sunday and Shrove Monday. Wooden discs made of beech are heated in the fire and then hurled down a ramp into the valley with a stick.
