Personal highlights
- Gässeln: local slang for walking through narrow alleyways
- Timing: this happens mostly in the evening until very late night
- Melancholy: while most carnival is fun, at this time you contemplate
- Individuals: in comparison to the parade, there are more small groups
- Finish: on Thursday night at 4am, the entire carnival is over... for a year
