On the 1st of May, we went to Steinbach, a small village located about 25 minutes from Schlierbach. It is a cosy place with a river and beautiful views. Here, on the 1st of May, it is a tradition to raise a tree between 20-30 metres and climb it using special equipment. It is only the trunk of the tree made it with a special type of wood. If you manage to climb to the top, you have to ring a bell.
They also did an exhibition of their traditional dance. Around the area there were food stands and stalls with different objects.
I was able to experience this really cool tradition and take part in the May tree climbing competition.
