A Boeoegg figure burns in Heiden, Switzerland, 22 June 2024. The Sechselaeuten (ringing of the six o'clock bells) is a traditional end of winter festival with the burning of the Boeoegg, a symbolic snowman, at 6 pm. The faster the Boeoegg explodes, the hotter the summer will be, according to traditional weather rules. Due to strong winds, the burning planned for April had to be rescheduled. It was decided to burn it in Appenzell Ausserrhoden, the guest canton of this years Sechselaeuten. (Photo by Gian Ehrenzeller/EPA/EFE)
