これは何？

Kurentovanje is a winter-into-spring carnival in the town of Ptuj. People dress up as 'Kurents' in long sheepskin coats with feathers, masks with horns, and huge cowbells around their waists. They dance and ring the bells to scare winter away.

もっと知りたい

The carnival takes place in February. Hundreds of Kurents march through the streets in a noisy, colourful procession.

The sheepskin costume weighs about 25 kilograms - heavier than most school bags - and the bells are loud enough to make windows shake.

Kurentovanje is on the UNESCO list of cultural traditions to protect, alongside things like Spanish flamenco and Japanese kabuki.
