HERBSTEIN, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 11: Carnival revelers participate in the annual Rose Monday (Rosenmontag) at the Herbsteiner Springerzug on February 11, 2013 in Herbstein, Germany. The Springerzug, literally ?jumping parade?, is an interpretation of carnival tradition particular to Herbstein. The carnival figure "Bajazz" leads the Herbsteiner Springerzug. Rose Monday is the highpoint of the annual carnival season in the region between Mainz, Cologne and Dusseldorf, where carnival has been an annual tradition since 1823 and celebrates free-spirited merrymaking before the beginning of Lent.
