Trub is a town in the upper region of Emmental.
Emmental is a Swiss valley that names the cheese you probably know.
Schwingen is a Swiss traditional sport, similar to catch.
Fighters score points with special combos in a time of 5 minutes.
The fight ends by knocking down the opponents on their back.
The winner becomes the king of the Schwingfest!
Last but not least beauty is an important part of the festival!
If you pass by Switzerland between May and August get the chance to watch the fighters of a Schwingfest! Watch the full reportage on our flickr.com channel by clicking here.
