How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against bernau-schwarzwald.de. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
Bernau's disc-throwing in the Shrove Tuesday (Fasnet) week is supported by a tourism page and a February 2026 news article, and the official municipal homepage was fetched; no official source with 2027 dates or the official event page was readable, so the edition is recorded as recurring with no dates.
Dates, prices and details change. This information is gathered and checked automatically and may contain mistakes. Always confirm with the official website before you book travel.
