Hansel jump and pretzel blessing

Over a thousand people dressed in traditional costumes jump through the town to the sounds of the town band with their bells. This is followed by the great pretzel blessing on the town hall square. **Parade of the Schramberg costumes through the town** The long wait is over: on Fasnet Sunday, the Hansel jump is an absolute highlight of the Schramberg Fasnet. Accompanied by the sounds of the town band and three guest bands, hundreds of Hansels and Narros jump through the town with their bells, starting at the fire station. It is a sight that thrills visitors, as do the hundreds of Bach-na-Fahrer, who wave to the spectators in long rows of two or three in time to the music. **The great pretzel blessing** Afterwards, the bands play a few lively tunes in the square while the costume wearers prepare in the town hall – and then the large town hall door opens and the great pretzel blessing takes place, during which around 25,000 pretzels are distributed to the crowd within an hour. **Goosebump moments** Children's eyes light up and many adults shed a tear when they think of times gone by. A Hansel pretzel is something very special—it tastes extraordinary and literally smells like Fasnet. Hard to believe? Just try it!
