Maienzug-Brunnen, 5.07.2024, 5000 Aarau
38 fountains and the Heinrich Zschokke statue are elaborately decorated
with flowers every year on the first Friday in July, from traditional
to fancy. Maienzug, by the way, has nothing to do with the month of May.
400 years ago, there was an old school custom. Teachers went with their
students into the forest to cut fresh rods. At that time, rods were
also called «Meyen», which gave the Maienzug its name. A team of city guides will share historical facts, anecdotes, and stories about the Maienzug at
several locations.

The wonderful world of bees, August 2024, Münstertal/Black Forest (D)
Observing bees is a unique way of watching life come to life.
But even if it looks as if bees are mainly anarchic crawling around, they have a plan that they implement with astonishing skill, fascinating abilities, and remarkable teamwork.
You can find out how this life works in a bee colony at the Bee Museum in Münstertal.
