This custom is done from the easter saturday in the night on the Easter Sunday. With this easter tradition the winter is banned definitely. The ground becomes the bigger the flames, the more fertile in the surroundings of the glow of the fire. Almost every village has its own bonfire lit on Easter Saturday nearby the place on a field.

Which one stratifiedly is at the easter saturday to a big mountain gathers the youth within the days before burning down wood, branches etc. As soon as the first wood is run into, it must be guarded. Because the youth makes a fun from this with lighting the fire early out of the neighbouring towns. In the evening of the bonfire lit on Easter Saturday the youth and meanwhile also whole families assembles around a smaller fire with music, drinks and fun. The gigantic woodpile is put on only around midnight and burns down up to the early early morning hours. From stories of my father I know that one practical joke still was used home to drive on the way. Gates and small doors were turned upside down and partly into trees hung, clogs (one looks like the different one) were collected and everyone poured on a heap in the village by the farmsteads. This was a fun for everyone at that time and nobody has blamed for something like that. Today, one is probably a bit more careful there. Actually too bad.

The about 15 to 20 metres high maypole is put up to May 1st on the evening before. It is important that it is stolen, so that it does not lose its strength as a protector of the village. The trunk is freed from the bark since otherwise evil minds and illnesses can hide between trunk and bark for man and animal. The trunk is adorned with a wreath made up of the youth. A green birch (the Mays) which brings the fertility to the village and for the harvest forms the treetop of the maypole. In the evening you celebrate with food and drinks because building is an actual show of strength. The piece of jewellery is "felled" again at Whitsun.

Different customs are done to the harvest home. Hahnrupfen (Rooster-plucking), Kranzreiten ( wreath-riding), Froschkarren (frog cart), Stollenreiften ( Horse-race on a field). The Hahnrupfen is at the spreading Estonian. The arch adorned with oak leaves is put up on a reaped field. The small things appended at the crossbeam to tear (cigarettes, lollipops, mini-alcohol bottle), off highly try men unmarried to horse. If the horses are broken in on this way, the dead rooster (Kokot) is on hung headfirst. Who tears the head off becomes a first king, the wings mean second and more thirdly king. Girls in dress accompany this celebration and the kings may themselves with bandaged eyes from this circle select their queen.

Horse and riders get an honour wreath from oak leaves and drag the royal couples in the direction of the restaurant for the dance now. The tap is seen as a fertility symbol. Since he has overexerted at the time of the seed and harvest, he is too weak and old as ghost of fertility for a next year and therefore must be plucked.
