Hilari

A large part of the forest on Cholfirst belongs to the former four Cholfirst communities of Feuerthalen-Langwiesen , Flurlingen and Laufen-Uhwiesen . The property goes back to a gift from Berta vom Schloss Laufen . As a thank you, these communities celebrate Hilari , a carnival-like festival, every year in mid-January .
