Germans who live near the Harz Mountins celebrate the holiday by making a trek up to the "Brocken," a mountain (above) reputed to be a favorite meeting place of witches.
Those who don't want to hike can take a train.
Lots of girls come dressed as witches.
Come nightfall big bonfires are lit and, I assume, alcohol is consumed in vast quantities.
Somewhere in Germany is Walpurgis Castle (above). I have no idea what goes on there.
Boy, there's no lack of Walpurgis artwork on the internet!
Is this (above) a depiction of Walpugis? I can't tell.
