Eventually we managed to document the Cologne Carnival, the largest in Germany! The most anticipated event within the event was undoubtedly the "Rose Monday", a colorful parade of floats and masks several kilometers long, which annually attracts spectators from all over Europe! To make the event even more appreciated by the public is the launch of candy and small gadgets. During carriages to pass because the stars form in homage to the people taking the "Kamelle, originally simple candies that over time have become increasingly generous gifts such as chocolate bars, small stuffed animals and even whole packages of chocolates made exclusively for the opportunity! Who wants to take advantage can make a good supply of chocolate, enough to have an envelope and a little 'luck in being able to win the "Kamelle" best. We also recommend you wear a helmet, I've taken a finger straight in the head, too! ;-)
Here are the numbers of the parade:
7 km length of the parade, length Journey approx. 6.5 km, journey time approx. 4 hours, 99 wagons and coaches, 78 cars for the transport of the gadget, 10,200 entertainers and actors, 124 bands and 440 horses.
Gadget fired from tanks and groups: 150 tonnes of sweets, 700,000 chocolate bars, more than 220,000 boxes of chocolates, more than 300,000 flowers, thousands of stuffed animals and other gifts. What do you think will be the case to go next year??
