Sheep Parade in Nuremberg: Urban Grazing Tradition

In Nuremberg, a unique annual parade takes place: hundreds of sheep, led by shepherd Thomas Gackstatter, march through the city streets to their winter quarters. This tradition, which also serves a practical purpose, sees the sheep acting as natural lawnmowers in city meadows during the summer, preserving biodiversity and saving the city money. Other German cities like Berlin, Potsdam, and Augsburg also employ this method.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
