Buebebloch Hundwil
The boys of Hundwil parade their Bloch through the villages every year on the actual Bloch Monday, the Monday after Ash Wednesday.
The Bloch, a large tree trunk on a beautifully decorated wagon, is proudly pulled through the area on this day by boys from the village, hence the name "Buebebloch". Dressed as dairymen, farmers, carpenters, woodworkers, butchers and others, the long route leads on foot from Hundwil mill via Urnäsch to Herisau and back to the village of Hundwil. At the top of the Bloch, the "Schmid" heats up the oven and announces the Bloch with smoke and firecrackers. The carter is the boss and directs the "Züchbuebe" to pull the Bloch. The Bloch is accompanied by the knight on horseback, the masked "bear", led by the hunter and the colorful "Kässelibuben", who demand a contribution from passers-by. The Bloch is considered the carnival event in the municipality of Hundwil.
