37th Championship "Goaßlschnölln"
Saturday 12 Jul
Santa Maddalena (Funes)
from 10:00 on
The South Tyrolean Whipcracking (‘Goaslschnöller’) Association invites you to the Whipcracking Championship. Whipcracking will be performed in groups of 2, 3 or 4, and judged on posture, volume and timing. The loud whipcrack sound has been used by South Tyrolean herdsmen to drive cattle for centuries. However, whipcracking was also a means of communication over long distances on the alpine pastures, for example to communicate when food was ready or someone was injured. Today, it’s used at religious events, village and alpine festivals, parades and Alpine cattle drives to keep the old tradition alive.
The 25th anniversary of Goaßlschnöller Villnöss valley is also celebrated.
Followed by an after show party in the tent.
