Carnival in Cologne

BubbleShare: Share photos - Play some Online Games.

Carnival is a very big event in Cologne and lots of people from different German town and even from foreign countries come to see it. It takes place at the end of February just when we have Pancake week (масленица). The culmination of the holiday is Rosenmontag when the zugs (zug-поезд) go in several districts of the city. In the photos you can see the main zug moving through the center of Cologne. The view is really picturesque! Unfortunately, our students, who come to Fachhochshule (our partner university) to do a semester course, don't have the opportunity to see the carnival because it's just the time of winter vacation in Fachhochshule.
