The Böögg’s barbecue

Zurich's Sechseläuten spring festival ain't over till it's over.

Sechseläuten reaches its climax with the burning and explosion of a huge snowman effigy, the Böögg. But afterwards throngs of people collect embers from the dying bonfire and hold a giant barbecue until the early hours. (Pictures and text: Christoph Balsiger, swissinfo)
