Happy Easter: The Easter Wells Pic Spam

[selenak]

Last week we had an actual hurricane in Germany, and there's still clean up in progress, but yesterday was unexpectedly sunny in Franconia, and thus the APs and yours truly followed (Franconian) tradition and hit the countryside to gaze at our Easter Wells.



This neat combination of baroque church and modern day well sculpure surrounded by Easter decorations is actually close by Bamberg, in Pödeldorf.



En route to Franconian Switzerland, you often find wells at the road side and have to have your camera ready, like here:





Or here, where they also have the most adorable Easter bunnies:







What's truly amazing about many of these wells, though, is that the eggs are by no means all standard plastic. No, a lot are individually painted. Like these calender eggs:





Which belong to this well:



There are also tourist guide eggs:







My Aged Parent's all time favourite Easter Well is always this one, both because it is very pretty and because you get boiled easter eggs with salt there for free:



Have some detail:







The Passion:




Franconia is a very dry area, which is the reason for all the Easter wells - to praise, give thanks to and encourage water - but there are little little rivers, like this one:



Which is next to this well:



Always one of the favourites: the one in Heiligenstadt, where the eggs are painted by the children from the local schools. These are some eggs:





quoting the 23rd Psalm:





With a shepherd:



and the local attractions:



and the bunnies:





and the village wildlife :):





And this is the Heiligenstadt Easter Well in totem:




But really, the roadside wells can be charming, too:





Like the one in Gößweinstein:






And for the grand finale, always: Bieberbach. Where they have bunny schools:



And the crown of wells:
