2015 XII - 2016 - I, Niederteufen, Switzerland
New Year’s Eve is a truly special occasion for many in Appenzell Ausserrhoden. In Niederteufen, there is a cherished tradition of Silvesterchlausen, where the arrival of the new year is still celebrated with great joy. The Chläuse, who herald the start of this festive day, visit homes long before the first light of dawn.
