In Dudenhofen, the holiday games kicked off the fifth week of the Hessian holiday season - albeit in typically changeable holiday weather. However, the rain at the start did not dampen the mood, and the week of games was loudly heralded in by Jacopo and Mayor Max Breitenbach despite the chilly rain. This signalled the start of this year's motto "Circus", which will be the theme of various games and the closing event. As rain is known to be followed by sunshine, there are also some great excursions on the programme - including a visit to the Lochmühle.
