Japanese people rave about the «Sakura», the Japanese cherry blossom. But the fact is that thanks to the arboretum in the Aubonne Valley, we have nothing to envy the land of the rising sun. Like an open-air museum, the arboretum plants trees of the same variety together. And these small families are beautiful and also very convenient for bees, because they can easily fly from one flower to the next. A few weeks later, 170 magnolia trees create a floral firework display with their spectacular, almost unreal blooms. And every Sunday, guided tours of the flowering trees are offered.

As the egg is a symbol of life, it also stands for spring. That's why many communities in northwestern Switzerland chase away winter with an «Eierläset» (collecting eggs) on the Sunday after Easter. For this purpose, two lanes are prepared side by side, each with up to 100 heaps of sawdust, on each of which an egg is placed. Two groups take up the fight, one representing winter, the other spring. Now the runners rush to the farthest egg on the track, pick it up, hurry back and carefully throw it to the catcher, who tries to catch it with a basket filled with chaff. The winner is the team that first has all the eggs in the basket. It is strange, however, that the spring always wins! By the way, in many communities there is a huge omelet or a fried egg dinner for the whole population.
