Carnival in Welschnofen

On 9 February 2027, Welschnofen will once again be all about carnival: on that day, the so-called "Schuffener" will parade through the village with elaborately decorated floats and original costumes. The name is derived from the "Schuffa", a traditional peasant dish made from milk. Local clubs and groups organise the popular parade, which delights numerous spectators every year.
