Just as the carnival masquerade was once intended to drive away the winter spirits, the "Achetringele" on New Year's Eve in Laupen is all about scaring away ghosts and demons.
The winter solstice is celebrated noisily. For centuries, it has been a point of honor for every boy in Laupen to drive away the old year and the demons and proclaim New Year's wishes, either as a masked broom man or as a Tringeler ringing cowbells.
