In Oberstdorf, an old village in Southern Bavaria, a unique ancient pagan tradition is still alive – the dance of the wild men (Wilde-Mändle-Tanz), which is held only in this small town, once in five years. Wilde-Mändle-Tanz is dedicated to the Germanic god Thor, and involves 13 men, all of whom belong to old local families who have been living in that region for centuries. The men’s costumes are made of moss, which grows only in the Allgäu Alps. They dance to rhythmic drum music, building a pyramid, and at the end they drink mead from their wooden mugs, singing a ritual song.

Scenic hike by Steffen Walther Via Flickr: A scenic hike with the whole beauty of the Bavarian Alps in Germany. Her majesty, the mountain named Höfats is one of the most striking peaks in this area. With four major summits it looks like a crown from a different angle. The name Höfats means "upland pasture". Its steep and grassy sides are not quite easy to ascend! Shot with Canon EOS R6 + RF24-105 f/4 L IS www.steffenwalther-photographics.de

Collision between Africa and Europe:

Aerial view of the Wiedemer Kopf in the Allgäu Alps, Bavaria (Germany). The tilted layers and huge folds in the flank of the Wiedemer Kopf mountain and its neighbouring summits are an impressive witness of the collision between Africa and Europe.
