Kerwa Tour

Part 5: Felling the parish fair tree

On Saturday the "Kerwasburschen" go into the forest very early in the morning with tractors and trailer in order to fell the pre-chosen tree and drive the tree into the village.
It is very important that the tree does not breake during the felling.
Therefore, the tree is not simply choped down with a motor saw, but digged out in sweaty work and pulled down with a long rope.

Das wir aus Ehraboch sin,
das weiß ein jedes Kind,
wir reißen Bäume aus,
wo keine sind!
