There must be bunnies!

[selenak]

Due to the Corona virus, there are no Easter Wells this year in Franconia. Rather than abandon my annual Easter Wells pic spam, though, I decided on a „Best of“ selection through the years. After all, you might have missed a few through the years.



Courtesy of the ever changing date for Easter, we’ve had all kind of weather in Franconia Here are a few wintery Easter wells with freezing bunnies




Same well (Biberach), different year:




And in every year, it’s the details that make this tradition so lovely:






If you don’t have a well in your village, go for a bridge, like the citzens of Drosendorf:


Always one of the most splendid wells: Heiligenstadt.


In one year, I came just when there was also dancing.



Meanwhile, in Ebermannsstadt:


And on the road:


Back to Biberbach again. The ostrich eggs are incredible each year. Like this one:




But my heart belongs to the less famous wells, too. Like this one:


And then there’s one we haven’t visited two or so years, because it’s a big side tour, but:






How long ago was this? Well, look who was still Pope then:


(The guy next to him is still bishop, though.)

Occasionally, someone recalls that the bunny isn’t actually the animal used as a metaphor in the source text:


Possible uses of eager eggs: advertise your shop! (This one is from a butcher’s place.)


Back to entire wells.









But really, look at those details everywhere:




If you’re wondering where all those villages with Easter Wells are, here’s an overview of Franconian Switzerland:


And then there was the year of Luther (2017).










This kind of thing will never happen to Calvin, mark my word.
Next , we had the year of fairy tales:







Good times.



Which will come again. There shall be bunnies!
