"Spessart Night Parade" Top 5 Page for this destination Ettlingen Local Custom Tip by tini58de

Every year there is a carnival night parade in Spessart, a village near Ettlingen. It takes place on the last friday before Ash Wednesday and starts at 19.11 h.

In 2004 was the first time, that we ever went there and boy, was it an adventure!!! It is so much fun to see the groups and bands parade down hill, some with torches, others you hear more than you see them - and hundreds, thousands of visitors...

There is a free shuttle bus service from Ettlingen Stadt station to Spessart - from 18.00h until 1.00 at night!
