    It is living tradition with a water feature in the fountain.
    In the Garmisch district of Partenkirchen, a fountain shows the shepherd's dance, which is shown every seven years during the carnival season in some localities.

    We pass the Schäffler Fountain. Here, too, things get interesting. In Bavaria, there is the custom of the Schäffler Dance, which, according to tradition, developed during the plague, when the barrel makers (Schäfflers) were the first to take to the streets, thus bringing back the joy of life. Partenkirchen also has a Schäffler group that traditionally performs this dance.

    It is thus a deeply rooted custom that recalls a difficult time and, at the same time, is a sign of hope and survival.
