The Maypole in Obertraun, April 30

The information about the Maypole tradition with various theories as to its origin is available here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_pole
The Maypole is erected in Obertraun on the last day of April.
The Maypole erection process is really fascinating to watch. It is a very simple and effort and time  consuming process taking at least one hour, but the time flies when you watch it.
In addition to being an ancient tradition, this seems to be a good team building event, where the men of the village do the work shoulder to shoulder.
