Bad Kreuznacher Fischerstechen

Lance duels on the Nahe! On the Roseninsel Bad Kreuznach, teams compete in the traditional fishing spear competition on the Nahe, cheered on vigorously by the crowd on the shore. On Saturday and Sunday, competitions (youth, men, women) will take place. In addition, there will be a food village and a musical program at the romantic Nahe riverside. Stalls and the musical program will open already on Friday at 5:00 PM. The team competitions will begin on Saturday afternoon. Four rowers position the spear thrower on a plank at the bow, and he tries to use his "weapon" to push the opponent into the water. The winner on Sunday is then the only one who hasn’t gotten wet.
