Hexenacht

Here are some pics of our first attendance of the official hexenacht (witches night) bonfire of Reichenbach. The night before May 1, everyone stays up all night burning bonfires to burn or scare away the winter witches and usher in spring. The witches--in the form of hooligan teens--in revenge, wreck havoc through the town by dumping flower pots, stealing trash cans, tp-ing stuff, and other shinanigans.
