Räbechilbi -In Switzerland-

Let me introduce more information about Räbechilbi.
As you can see, people use a lot of turnips to make curios of candles. However, can you guess how many turnips they use? Actually, about 26 tons of turnips and 50,000 candles are used for this! Can you believe it?

These are some example of curios. These are ...



a swan, → 





elefants, → 

and a woman. → 


Aren’t they beautiful? These are all candles which are made from turnips.
At the festival, about 15,000 people visit to see the parade. Not only children but also adults can enjoy this event so Räbechilbi is very popular. Moreover, Räbechilbi entered into the Guinness book of record in 1998 for its world breaking statistics.
If you have a chance to go Switzerland, we strongly recommend you to go there in November and join Räbechilbi.
